    How is VY going to be suspended if he isn't charged? As far as I remember, he has no prior run ins with the law, which is how Big Ben got suspended.

    A few thoughts that I think are important:

    1) ProFootballTalk.com may once have been the TMZ of football, but that is no longer the case. The site is about as good as it gets when it comes to reporting football news. They find a story and certainly milk it for all it's worth (traffic numbers are everything in the blogging world), but they don't really sensationalize any more than print journalists do. Mike Florio is a lawyer and he would not write a post like this unless he was sure that he could back it up with facts and sources. There has to be some substance to this story. I'm not saying Vince beat anyone up, but he put himself in a situation where this kind of story could arise. That alone is very disappointing.

    2) It's true that we all need to take a "wait and see" approach to this one because the whole thing could blow over and be forgotten. But if it does blow over, it will blow over because Vince has smart people working for him. It won't blow over because nothing at all happened and the whole thing was fabricated. I'm not saying punches were thrown, but there must have been some kind of altercation. Which brings me to...

    3) Vince Young still doesn't seem to fully get it. I hate to say this because I really, really want to see Vince succeed. However, I am just not buying in to the idea that he is some reformed person now. I don't believe that he is the leader the Titans need. He is still getting up on stage at rap concerts. He is still partying. He is evidently going to strip clubs and getting into mysterious altercations. These are not things that I want my franchise quarterback to be doing. Maybe I'm a prude, but I want my QB to be a football nerd. I want him sitting at home thinking only about football and winning, not hitting the clubs trying to be a hotshot. I want a Peyton Manning, a Drew Brees, a Matt Ryan or a Joe Flacco. These guys recognize that they are vulnerable (there's always someone out there trying to get you to take a swing at them so they can sue you) and they don't put themselves in situations where there is any risk of damaging their careers. I am just not sure that Vince will ever be that guy and I don't think he will lead the Titans (or any other team) to the promise land until he becomes that person. I really hope he gets it all together and becomes that guy.

    Don't call me a Vince hater. Call me a Vince realist. That is what we all need to be. Let's get past this blind hate and blind support and actually look at things from an objective eye.

    Well this sucks.

    But it will be good to get the facts, this could easily be a non story. Or the "assault" could be justified.

    honestly, the more I read this, the more it looks like some guy at the club was talking to him and got his beaten

    Probably wouldn't even have a follow-up if it wasnt that he was a professional athlete / celebrity
