VY--Stranger and Stranger

God forbid VY for wanting to head out for some fresh air! What a fool! What kind of person in thright mind would leave their place at 7? Then forgetting his cell-phone!? Insolence..
/sarcasm

Oh how media can make a mountain of a mole-hill.
 
Heres my take on this:

Vince and his wife get into it.. Or hell, maybe she is just going crazy on Vince latley..(I know how that can be...). So he says I need to take some time off from this situation before I lose it. So he takes a car ride to clear his mind(which ive done plenty of times concerning the same reason). I bet the person who called everyone was his wife. She was probably overreacting and freaking out that Vince just left the house in the middle of a fight. She probably thought "Hmmm How can I make this situatuion as worse as possible to get him back for walking out like that? OH! Ill call his family and his coach!!"

Vy heads to a friends house.. probably to talk to him about what he should do with his crazy wife.. Next thing you know Metro Police are knocking on his door.

Believe it or not.. Girls like to do this ****. As soon as I heard the full story this is what popped into my head.

VY-- get better dawg. We all love you. And once Kerry Collins comes in and loses 2-4 games for them.. Everyone will be cheering for you to get back on the field.
 
Fisher did the right thing. From calling the police to insisting on meeting with Vince to judge his state of mind firsthand.
 
Well Married.. Engaged.. Dating.. Its all the same. It sucks the same ammount of life out of you.


Women love drama. You dont have to be married to start it.

Vince proves to be elusive (even to the cops)

We’ve come to expect unexpected things from Vince Young around here. But this one is truly off the charts.

Here, we’ll just let the Nashville Tennessean explain the bizarre all-points bulletin for Vince last night:

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.’’

Seems there might’ve been a little overreaction after Vince sped off from his home without his cell phone a day after he was booed by the fans in Nashville and had to leave the game with a knee injury. That prompted a call to the Titans and then to police.

But just when you think all is well, there comes this paragraph:

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.’’

I look at all this from a different point of view because of my personal history. In the years after 9/11, I was very depressed and self-destructive, and I believe any concerns about someone's mental health should be taken very seriously.

What I see in this thread is a lot of speculation, and very little facts about what happened at Vince's house and why he left home for the evening. Maybe he did get in an argument and storm out angrily to go for a drive. Or maybe he threw down his phone and said: "If I can't be the best, I don't want to be anything" as he stumbled to his car. My point is: we don't know what happened and we shouldn't make conclusions without all the facts.

A family member has to use his/her judgement, but I say err on the side of caution. If you think a family member is in a 'bad' state of mind, you should intervene. I don't know whether the best person for Vince's family to call was the team, the police, another family member, or someone else. But I won't jump to the conclusion that reaching out to the team was the wrong course of action in this case.

If possible, it's best for everyone, including fans, to be non-judgemental and accepting, and, hopefully, patient.
 
It's pathetic that people immediately called this an overreaction and tossed insults at the people involved given that whoever got the ball rolling on this situation was at Vince's house with him when he left, and was someone who I suspect knows Vince much better than anyone on this board.
 
Why is Fisher a "**********" for showing concern for his QB? He was notified by a person close to Vince, probably the girlfriend, made a few calls, located him and after determining everything was fine, the drama was over. Big deal.

Wasn't there a similar incident two years ago involving Parcells & T.O.? Owens supposedly OD'd on anti-depressents or something but it turned out to be no big deal.

You would expect a coach to be concerned about one of his key players, especially in a precarious mental condition. Sounds like the Titans handled it about right (though where was Bud Adams in all this?).
 
I take everything back.

Its the play calling in Tennessee and the fact that he has no help at WR.

Id call the police too.
 
I think there is a strong possibility that JF was protecting VY's image by NOT devulging more delicate intricacies that may or may have existed. To lambast these guys as if we had total and omnipotent knowledge of the situation is a little strange in it's own way.
 
Unfortunately, the idea that Vince's "emotional well-being" is deteriorating fits very well with observable data from the games.

I have no idea, but I'll think out loud, since everyone else is: I'll guess that "those closest to Vince" included a large portion of his extended family. I'll also guess that maybe they had a little heart to heart with Vince about who he was and how he was acting and whether something besides football was wrong. At which point, to continue in this line of guessing, Vince broke down, became agitated, and left in a big hurry. His family, I'm guessing, was worried that he might be suicidal. That's the only way I can see them calling Fisher to post an APB; they were not just worried about Vince at that point -- they were desperately concerned and expressed that desperation to Fisher, which eventually led to the police activity.

Vince's family feared he was suicidal. That's the only thing that makes it all fit. And they know him a lot better than we do.

I could be wrong.
 
And I'm not sure we'd know about the gun without the family telling Fisher that part of their concern was the fact that he had a gun with him.
 
Is it common for men in relationships to have their bodyguard get college freshmen women's phone numbers in a club after having his jersey retired ?

Money can't buy happiness. He shoulda stayed another year! Where's that cat who had the vision for Vince to leave---- now?
