Police: Search for Young because of suicide talk

Sounds like another case of Michael Westbrook; the game wants more out of you than you're willing/able to give.

Can't help but feel sorry for the guy.

Talking about suicide is no joke, anytime it's mentioned it needs to be taken seriously. I really hope that Vince Young gets everything figured out for him so he can make his life better because it would be a damn shame if he went that route.

As for the whole confidentiality thing going out the window, I think he deserves it to an extent. When I say that, I mean yes, his therapist should've told the police, but it should've been kept quiet between the cops and the therapist and members of his family, and the only way it should've gotten out was if VY or his family members decided to publicly release that information.

Dude has issues. Honestly, the stress of being an NFL QB is not for this guy. It's definitely not good for his wellbeing. If I were the Titans I would help him walk away from the game.

Therapists are allowed to tell family and in this case the coach (Since VY is in very close contact with him) if the subject proves to be a danger to himself or others.

In this case, Young is a threat to himself and thus statements have to be released.

Now how the media got involved is a completely different story...

I hope Vince pulls through this. I personally have been critical of his play in the past but from what I've seen he's a nice guy. Good to hear he's safe for now.

If you're a threat to yourself or you admit to a crime on par with rape or murder then your shrink is obligated to report you.

Just to add a person in that situation that doesn't report that to the proper authorities risks losing their professional license.

You know..Pressure in this world is crazy. We all ilk through it and it affects us differently. Some of us have been desensitized. I for one admire VY..i think just to get to such an elite level is something sepcial/ This is a cry for help...maybe a cry for all of us to come back to reality and be positive and not so negative for our players. Maybe its because we watch it on the tube all the time that it seperates us from the realness that these people are. But i hope that out of this story vinces suffering makes people realize we are all HUMAN..we all feel...so think on that the next time you try to bring someone down or you boo somebody or breed any type of hate. You never know..it might be that last thing yo said to someone that pushes them over the edge..and if you give some sort of positive reinforcement, it migt be that one thing you did or said that saves them...just food for thought
