To All Of Vince Young’s Detractors, Take Your Shots Now
Deep In The Hearts Of Texas
For few years now, the ‘In’ thing is to say or post something negative about Vince Young. To some degree it was understandable if his name happened to be talked down on by a Texas A&M University, University of Southern California alumni or fan. Somewhere along the lines the negativity became malicious by a large portion of people within the sports reporting world. Young may not be a starter at the current moment but that can be said about a few other former college stars now employed in the NFL and the spitefulness seems to never land anywhere near their direction.
So for all of the Vince Young detractors out there, does your mouth open or your fingers start typing today after hearing the latest VY story? Do those same cynics now go in hiding, for they where that small to begin with or do they continue to jab just out of pure hate?
For one day at least, Young stepped up to try to fill the void for the late Steve McNair’s two young sons. Young surprised 11-year-old Trenton and 5-year-old Tyler on Wednesday by showing up at their house and taking them to their school’s “Dear Dads Breakfast” at a local restaurant.
“Those are my boys,” Young told the Tennessean. “I wouldn’t say it was to pay anyone back; it was just out of love. Steve would do it for me. He pretty much did it for me when I was growing up. I have a history with the boys and I want to do anything I can. I am their big brother.”
Julie Dilworth, admissions director at St. Paul Christian Academy said “They were thrilled … the boys came to school with huge smiles on their faces.”
McNair and Young’s connection runs from McNair’s days playing in the city of Houston for the Oilers who later moved to Tennessee, where Young would eventually be drafted third overall. Their relationship stemmed before draft day as Young attended numerous of McNair’s football camps when he was young. McNair was later shot and killed on July 4th.
Besides being there for McNair’s sons, Young gave other kids at the school jerseys and autographs. Isn’t that what life is all about, picking up someone when they are down, showing them love when they need it the most, letting them know they are not alone, or helping bring a smile to their face for a brief moment but it last a lifetime. Isn’t that what life is about?
I was not born here in Texas but as they saying goes, I got here as fast as I could. Vince you are a Texas hero, a Texas legend. You make Texans proud.

On July 4th most of America was enjoying time with friends and family to celebrate this country’s birthday, the NFL however was in mourning having lost a trailblazer and MVP. There where black quarterbacks before him, even in the same origination (Warren Moon) but never had an NFL team step up and hand the origination over like Houston did by selecting McNair third overall in 1995.

He eventually took his team to Super Bowl XXXIV, leading them to 16 unanswered points and within in one yard of the Lombadri trophy.
