TRF- I Cried For Vince Young

When the news broke Saturday morning about Vince Young having a gun to place a bullet into his head or anywhere else in his body, to be pratically honest, I shedded a few tears for this man. It had nothing to do with me being a supporter of his, but just with the fact that when any human being is on the verge of taking their lives out, it is a certified tragic situation.

The column about this is located at TRF, and here are some selected paragraphs:
In regards to renowned Kansas City Star journalist and ESPN contributor not getting it, again:

Instead we get egotistical blowhards like Jim Rome questioning to man’s toughness and urging him to now get help (after reprimanding him last week about not being macho enough to assume the mantle) with their “Me-First, Me-Last” commentary (if you could even call it that).

In regards to the great Bill Rhoden of The New York Times even missing what is primarily necessary to focus on:

Even with his tremendous character, integrity, and downright to the Earth’s core benevolence, the venerable writer got it wrong in his column as well, focusing on the intense microscope that Young has to face as a quarterback in comparison to Donovan McNabb, Warren Moon, Doug Williams, and other black QB’s in the National Football League.

What we should give Young first, as a collective whole:

Instead of “we”, it is all about “him”. But about “Him” in terms of his choices, but just pointing aside what we feel has transpired in his life and just being there for this man. Just dropping a letter of condolence to him instead of shaking your head asking, “What is wrong with him?” Instead of telling him “He needs help”, why don’t you say “Vince, I don’t know you, but I love you and we are with you man.”

And the insensitivity of Pro Football Weekly's Report:

(And to cast more shame on the media in this country, we have a story coming in from the Pro Football Weekly, with no sources from what I see, indicating that Young wanted to come out of the Tennessee Titans wild care playoff game against the San Diego Chargers in January, with the Titans leading at halftime. Now, I’m not saying it isn’t true, but why release that now, especially with no sources, when the man is going through what he is going through? It is utterly distasteful and classless.)

Hope that it helps you at least give this man your support. Even if you don't know him.
