Vince Young said his left knee is sore, but his spirit isn't broken. He said he's a competitor, not a quitter. The Titans quarterback also said he is far from the troubled young man portrayed by media in the wake of a knee injury and concerns about his emotional state. "I'm fine. I'm good,'' Young said Thursday. "I just needed (time) -- to get through some things. But now I am OK. I was never depressed; I just hurt a little bit. -- When it happens again, I'll know how to handle it.'' Young said he never refused to go back in, but admitted he was bothered by boos from the home crowd after throwing his second interception of the game. Young said he was down in the hours that followed, but everyone overreacted, including his concerned mother. He stressed that his fire to play football is still burning strong.

The media is more often than not an unnecessary evil. Key word: unnecessary.

I love how all the reports talked about his unloaded gun in his glove box. Like he was going to pull a Billy Cole, "Aint life a ****?"

VY needs to shut up and prove his worth. He brought all this things to himself. He has months to get better and prove himself. He needs to worry about his play not the fans. Only he can fix himself.

BoBo realizes that you people from Mass. are still into that killing thing, but it's suppose to be on witches, not clowns. Clowns are good. Unless their an evil clown. Then, that's bad and they should be killed. But I'm a good clown....spare me oh which hunter.....

The only people who should be depressed are the Titans fans, for having to watch this guy as their starting QB

Never a good thing when your qb has stress-management issues.
