I can call in sick if I need to. Many places have "mental health days". That was an just ignorance from spacevan; someone who, it appears, has never experienced depression. And I am not just talking about feeling blue. The kind that makes you want to stay in bed for weeks and makes you contemplate suicide.Lay off and think about it.
Dwight, you ignorant slut!!!Umm tomorrow I'm going to call my boss and let him know that I'm not coming in because I feel a little depressed. "Sorry Boss, I know your paying me millions of dollars to play a game but the truth is I'm just not feeling it. You know the people at work get on me when I don't do my job correctly and I'm feeling a lot of negativity."Earth to Vince are you reading me? It's the real world over. Has everyone lost perspective? I'm sorry Vince but you just had an entire off-season to get your mind and body right and you pull this crap after the first game of the season. If he thinks he's feeling a lot of negativity now just wait til he quits!!!The time has come to stop coddling this moron and send the team over to his house and tell him look man you want out of this gang? Fine, but we're going to have to jump you out, and then proceed to beat the sense into him. What a ########!!
I think Matt Leinart would stay in LA forever if he could get an NCAA exemption.
Of course, this is taking for granted that McNair would ever play for the Titans again. Things went so poorly McNair had to sue the team just to be allowed in their facilities, which is what finally prompted them trading him to Baltimore.Maybe he's a forgive and forget guy. But I wouldn't assume it's a given he'd play for them even if they wanted him.
Ya know, that's interesting to think about if that had happened. Many people think VY only came out because he thought with Houston having the first pick he had a good shot to go there. What if he had, then Cutler probably woulda also gone to his hometown team. Everyone's happy.Kubiak likely woulda run a much more wide open offense that would've accentuated VY's strengths. As a former qb, he also likely would've been able to work on his mechanics pretty well. He's pretty good at that, right? VY would be a lot happier in Houston, and the fans would likely be much more patient if things weren't going well. Meanwhile, Cutler would be in Tennessee with fans who love him just as much, but he wouldn't be throwing to Marshall, Royal and Stokley. If only we ran the league, right?
WOW...I know Raymond White. He lives here in Nashville but he is from Houston. He is a good friend of Steve McNair and is over a part of his foundation. If something was wrong...he definitely would NOT say it was
Speaking for Houston, if we ran the league we'd still have drafted Mario Williams.Thanks for playing though.Ya know, that's interesting to think about if that had happened.

I know some Houston fans would agree with you. I also know a lot wouldn't.Doesn't really matter though, right? The whole hypothetical was based on VY going to Houston in the 1st place, enabling Cutler to go to Tn.Speaking for Houston, if we ran the league we'd still have drafted Mario Williams.Thanks for playing though.Ya know, that's interesting to think about if that had happened.

Ummm yeah, this is exactly the reason why your job will be outsourced to some guy or girl in New Delhi!! America has gone soft!!! I see no problem with taking a "me" day every once in a while but if you have enough time on your hands to "Lay off and think about" how depressed am I, woe is me, then the problem is you and how you're living. Go volunteer at a homeless shelter and gain perspective on how great life is and how fortunate you are. You know what is truly depressing is the fact that so many Americans have lost their jobs and homes this year and Vince Young doesn't want to do his job because he gets booed! "They're booing me mommy". I thought Vince Young was a man... guess I was wrong.Addai said:
I don't think an MRI shows a sprain, it either shows a tear or no tear. Someone can correct me if I am wrong on this.But assuming I am right...VY: "I hurt my knee and cant' go back in."Fisher: "OK. We'll get an MRI and see what's wrong.".....Radiologist: "The MRI is showing the ligaments, tendons and meniscus to all be intact."Orthopedic Specialist: "Hmm. Patient reports joint pain prevented him from playing. Diagnostics are negative. Must be a sprain because NFL players want to play no matter what."I could be wrong, but I think Vince used the knee as an excuse to get out of the game and now Fisher is using it as cover to buy Young and the team some time to formulate a strategy.
You're not getting it. When I said "lay off and think about it" I was not referring to thinking about how depressed you are. I was talking about laying off of Vince and think about what someone might be going through. Money doesn't bring happiness. Where is that :highhorse: simile?That's it for me, you can't argue with the ignorant.
Did you see the play where his knee was injured?It flexed quite a bit and nobody was yelling at him or seemed angry at his not wanting to return like they were with the hammy thing. He may very well have used his hammy as an excuse prior to that, but I really don't think he faked the knee. Also, having seen some of the obvious injuries Young has played right through in the past is precisely what has many people wondering about his state of mind with the hammy thing.
Actually, people quit jobs that appear good all the time. For whatever reason, they're not happy there. Be it money or people or pressure or whatever.I have a friend that quit his job as an attorney do to something different. It happens. He wasn't depressed. He didn't like his job and it wasn't worth the money any longer to keep doing that job.I don't fault them if they decide they'd rather do something different with their lives. I don't fault Young if that's what he'd rather do. Why would I? Why would anyone?Jspacevan said:Umm tomorrow I'm going to call my boss and let him know that I'm not coming in because I feel a little depressed.

Did Young quit his job? Sorry, I didn't catch that. It seems to me he's still receiving all of the benefits of that high first round contract, but trying to duck at least some of the responsibilities relating to it. This isn't a guy bravely making a career change; it's a guy who's either suddenly incapacitated by depression or so totally immature that he's running away from career turbulence and hiding.Actually, people quit jobs that appear good all the time.

Exactly, Ask a liquor store owner who his weekly (and sometimes nightly) regulars are and it's often a successful person hanging onto a job for reasons other than happiness.Actually, people quit jobs that appear good all the time.

I'm saying IF he quit his job. And yes, I'd expect him to settle up on advance payments and that kind of thing. But I'm sure that's all in the contract.I'd have no problem with him quitting. No more than I'd have a problem with anyone that quit a job they didn't like. Most people are pretty rational. They weigh out the benefits of keeping this job against the negatives of quitting. When the negatives of quitting outweigh the benefits of staying, they move on. What's wrong with that? What's it to me?JDid Young quit his job? Sorry, I didn't catch that.

Those two will be forever associated with each other.
