A few years back, I watched Chad Pennington play a full quarter in the MAC championship game with a badly pulled groin. He could barely move,and anytime he was off the field, a trainer had his arm elbow deep in Chad's pants, keeping him loose enough to be able to play. Last weekend, during the "must win" game against the Colts, Vince Young took himself out of the game for...ummm, did he really hurt something? He sure didn't look like it as he strolled to the locker room before half time. It looked more like he was pouting over his medicre performance upto that point in the game.
If he doesn't develop a little maturity, and really soon, the Titans won't last a quarter against the Chargers.

Posted by: JT on January 5, 2008 2:41 PMDid he limp as he sauntered into the locker room? Did he argue with his coach and try to get back into the game? Is he listed as doubtful for Sunday?
Did the coach keep him out or did he keep himself out?
You don't have to be a mind reader to see who is fired up about a game and who is just going through the motions.
