Vince Young: Running for the dollars
Dear Vince Young,
So, it seems that you have decided to declare for the NFL draft. Knowing that you came from a crappy H-Town neighborhood in which everyone you know suffers in poverty, I totally understand while you decided to go for the money. I mean, how often does someone from your neighborhood get a chance to collect a $10 million-plus lump sum payment? I wish you the best of luck.
That said, I cannot hide the fact that I am dissapointed in your decision. Two words for you: delayed gratification. All throughout your press conference, you talked about how much you have grown while at UT, how much you have improved as a man, how important it is for you to be humble, and how this is a one in a lifetime opportunity. May I submit to you that your staying at UT for your senior season was a bigger once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? There may never be another time in your career when you will be surrounded by the quality of talent that UT has, nor the time of standup men that UT has placed on their coaching staff. The offense is built for you and your unique talents. The UT record books are there for you to rewrite. The time was ripe for you to win a second national championship. Didn't you say that championships are what it is all about? Had you made the more difficult decision, the money would still have been there for you.
I know that you will be a great NFL quarterback. I selfishly hope that you get drafted by the Texans so that I will no longer have to watch terrible football games on fall Sundays (they may still be terrible, but at least you might be entertaining. I hope that you are able to keep your head on straight and that you use your money to lift your family out of poverty.
Good luck...
