Random Sports Reflections

Some quick hit reflections:

*I'm happy to hear that Michael Vick has really turned his life around.  I talked last time about forgiveness when it comes to Randy Moss.  It could definitely apply to Michael Vick as well, maybe even more so.  What Vick did with the dogfighting was wrong and he was punished for it.  The fact that he has shown contrition and has turned things around is good to hear.  I hope that he continues on this path and that it continues to be a good story.

*What happened with Vince Young yesterday was sad to hear.  I know there are both sides to a story and that probably we won't know the whole thing.  But there are certain things that have to be taken away from it.  1) No matter how frustrated you get, you don't storm out of a meeting with your boss.  2) You don't cuss out under your breath at your boss when he's in the room during a meeting.  3) If your job is to address people after an event, you don't ignore those people when things don't go your way.

I like Vince Young.  But I know that one has to be responsible for their actions whether it be standing up and taking responsibility when an incident happens or being apologetic when you don't react appropriately.  I keep thinking Vince will reach that level of maturity that comes from experience.  But it hasn't happened yet.  I'm thinking at this point, he might need a change of scenery to get that maturity.  The sad thing is that it detracts from a season where the Titans are still right in it.  Hopefully, they'll turn it around and make a run for a deep playoff push.
