Titans Finally Cut Vince Young After Five Years Of Sucking The Suck Out Of Suck

For a fun little tour of one of Stampede Blue's best features, go to the search window, located to the right on your browser, and type in the words 'Vince Young.'

What you will get is five years worth of Pulitzer-worthy material where yours truly wrote time and time again how a misinformed media and hordes of brain-dead fans were overhyping the man, the myth, the legend that was Vince Young, Titans QB.

It didn't matter that the Titans ran an offense a fifth-grader could pull off, or that Vince had quit on his team not once but twice, or that they won 13 games in 2008 without him. Vince always had his loyal cadre of mindless drones repeating, seemingly in unison, that Vince was 'a winner.' It's like the Indiana fans who still insist Damon Bailey could have been a great NBA player. No matter how many facts you place before them, their demented loyalty to a flawed player determines their reality rather than reality determining their loyalty.

Today, after using a first round pick on Jake Locker and signing Matt Hassleback to a three-year deal, the Titans faced up to that reality and released Vince Young.

Small note to Titans fans: Your team just got 1,000% better.

With this release, Colts fans lose a consistent and reliable source of humor during the NFL season. Vince was always good for a laugh or two, especially when he played the Colts.

For me, It always gave me a small measure of comfort to know that as long as Vince was under center in Nashville, the Colts were pretty much guaranteed to win the AFC South. Now, with Vince gone, and the Titans willing to put someone who can complete a pass under center, it just feels as if something is missing. The laughter is gone, and it's been replaced by a Titans team that might actually score some points on my favorite football team.

Oh well. At least we'll have the memories:

Vince Young Soils Diaper, Blames Others For The Smell

Oh boy! Vince Young attacked an employee of the Dallas strip club

The Return of Vince Young: Ready your barf bags

Soon, we Colts fans won't have Vince Young to kick around anymore

Could we possibly see Vince Young actually play like a QB this year?

Vince Young lacks the mental toughness to play in the NFL

The Titans are a cocky bunch

Once again, proof surfaces that Vince Young is indeed THAT stupid

As if we didn't need enough proof that Vince Young is an idiot

Longhorns Fans- Don't Hate

Pete Prisco and I agree- Vince Young stinks

Lost in this hoopla...

…is the fact that Tony Brown, DT, 6’3", 305 lbs, got released as well. Now, that is a guy I absolutely do not mind having in place of Muir. He will do well in our 4-3 D. We got Antonio Johnson from the Titans’ PS, if you all remember. It is time to get Tony Brown too. The Titans’ coaches (at least when Jim Washburn was there) knew to draft defensive line talent.

nice waiver-wire scrutiny. What, are you like on vacation this week or something? :- )
