I don't think that's the case. This was his first actual legal offense (despite the head case stuff), and it carries a maximum penalty of a $500 fine. Sure it goes against the league conduct policy, and just ask Big Ben if you need to be charged with a crime to get suspended. But I don't see VY getting anything more than a slap on the wrist for this one from Goodell. The commish will fire a shot across the bow, but I would be surprised if Young gets suspended for even one game.

All that said, Vince Young needs to be smarter than that. If you're going to be the face of a franchise and a high caliber NFL QB, higher standards need to be kept. Incident or not, strip clubs at 3:30am aren't gonna fly. He's already stated that his goal is to win championships and make the HOF. He'll make that goal easier to attain if he's sleeping at 3:30am instead of partying/drinking/fighting/getting lap dances while his girlfriend is at home pregnant.

It just staggers me that there are so many glaring examples of what not to do as far as being a pro athlete, yet guys still go down that path over and over.

If they were to sign him, sure

This had nothing to do with him having to much money. This had everything to do with immaturity and to much alcohol. What a dumb move by him. He'll be paying the victim thousands of dollars in restitution once the impending civil case is filed.

It's only a fist fight because someone was mouthing off. Big deal!!!! It's not rape. Busted lips, ??? wake me up in the morning.

"An idle mind is the devil's workshop" This is a typical example of guys having more down time than they know what to do with. Shows lack of maturity and the inability to avoid confrontation.

I thought VY was finally starting to grow up. As some others have said why are you in a strip club at 3am when you've got practice the next day and a pregnant GF at home?? WTF?? Plus you fight a guy cause he makes fun of your school?? C'mon Vince. Grow the fuck up and start learning how to be a pro. 30 years ago this might not even makes the news but with the mass media world we live in these guys have to be smater than this.

While this was not a smart move on Young's part , I do not see it as a big deal . If he had practice the next day , he should have been home at that time .... I hope he stays away from places where bad things happen , as I think he could be a fine QB - young man .

Wasn't he the one who took McNair's kids under his wings? Great example he is.
