The Vince Young situation is getting strange

This is the rumor that started all this, it was on a Titans fan blog, GoTitansGo, user WhatAboutGump:
"Ok, it's currently unofficial, but I just heard from a very reliable source that Vince Young beat up his manager and/or agent, took his gun and barricaded himself in the Baptist Sports Complex (TN Titans practice facility) and was shooting at Metro police. Just happened within the last hour, according to my source. The command was called off just moments ago, which apparently means VY gave up, was subdued, or is dead.""

"the guy is my x brother in law, he's a cop down there, he's off duty and listening to his radio."

"If so, then I would like a tool.. and will apologize in advance, this is why I put it here in the rumor mill. I am not claiming any of this as fact, only that my x bro in law called me up with a "You'll never going to believe this" and he wasn't laughing at all."




According to WKRN-TV in Nashville, Field Goal Fisher became concerned about the well-being of his starting QB late Monday night. A frined of Young's was concerned because Young left his home abruptly at 7:30 p.m. and because Young seemed “emotionally down” and left his cell phone behind. Young also had an unloaded handgun in the glove box of his vehicle. Young was eventually found at Baptist Sports Park at around 12:30 am. He probably wasn't watching game film or getting treatment for his injured knee or his tweaked hamstring, just what was going on is completely open to debate but Fisher calling it a misunderstanding is a feeble attempt at spin-doctoring. Unnamed sources told WKRN that concerns about Young’s state of mind were unfounded.
Even if that’s true, the mere fact that Fisher developed such concerns about Young strongly suggests that some serious stuff has been happening behind the scenes in Tennessee, and that Sunday’s sideline incident very well could be the beginning of the end of Young’s career with the Titans, and possibly with any other NFL team. NFL locker rooms will tolerate lots of bad behavior but they will not tolerate players who quit on their teams. It looks more and more likely that when VY said he has thought about retiring after last season that he was as serious as a heart attack. I've been a vocal critic of his but I really hope that he can get through this, whatever this is and that the Titans will help him more than they helped Pacman Jones.

From the Tennessean:
Metro Police issued a bulletin for officers to be on the lookout for Titans quarterback Vince Young on Monday night after Coach Jeff Fisher expressed concern about his emotional well being.
According to Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron, Fisher had been alerted after a friend of Young’s contacted the coach around 7 p.m. Monday night. Young eventually made contact with Fisher, and the two met around midnight with Metro police officials at Baptist Sports Park. Given the totality of the situation, Coach Fisher was concerned about Young’s emotional well-being. He contacted the police department and expressed to us his concern,’’ Aaron said.“Once he came to Baptist Sports Park and was assessed, it appeared the concerns from earlier in the night were unfounded.’’ According to police, Young left his home abruptly Monday night and sped off without his cell phone. A person at Young’s home contacted Fisher, who then contacted police.After Young eventually made contact with Fisher several hours later, he was told he needed to meet with police.Young had a handgun in the glove compartment of his vehicle, but it was not loaded and Aaron said officers had no concerns about Young trying to harm himself.“The fact the gun was in the glove compartment and was unloaded did not present an issue for the officers,’’ Aaron said. “There was no ammunition in the car. The gun was unloaded. The slide was back in a safe position, and it was in the glove box.’’Fisher could not immediately be reached for comment
