Vince Young playing in the CFL

[Biscayne]

Was watching the longhorn network today and they had Vince, Mack Brown, David Thomas, Aaron Ross, and a couple more people on there. They broadcasted the Rose Bowl BCS championship game and everybody was sitting around talking about there memories of each play. shyt was throwed as hell. I wish LSU had some shyt like that

Aaron Ross another legend. I was 15 when that legendary rose bowl happened. Nobody picked Texas but Lee Corso.



I've watched the replay of vy running in the TD so many times, that I memorized Bret Mussburgers lines.

No nikka. Vincent Paul Young Jr is straight garbage. Look at the stats nikka. The nikka blows. Might be worse than RG3

100% rg3 was miles better. Just got fukked up by injuries.

Sorry homie. The CFL you watching ain't the CFL from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Years ago the CFL would bid against the NFL and actually steal free agents and even players in the draft. They even expanded into the US (baltimore) and had contract deals to broadcast their games in the US.

Them days is over. When they ran into money issues in the late 90s they actually borrowed money from the NFL.

In order to borrow the money the CFL had to come with certain agreements that the NFL had. Such as no expansion into US territory. No trying to steal and sign big name NFL players or high draft picks, no broadcast deals with major US networks (to broad cast games in the US. This has been laxed the last few years with NFL network and ESPN broadcasting games).

Finally the CFL agreed to the NFL terms that players suspended by the NFL must first get permission from the NFL to sign with a CFL team. This also didn't exist in the past.

Trust homie I been watching and following the CFL since I was a kid. That is one of the reasons as a kid I liked moon. My dad was a moon fan in college. So much so he would tape old edmonton oiler games on tv when they came on cable (when moon was there). So by the time I was born and able to watch sports my dad basically made me a moon and houston oilers fan.

The suspension rule change occurred in 2006: CFL to bar suspended NFL players

They didn't change the rule because of any loan, they changed it because the Commish at the time thought the league was getting a bad reputation as the Last Chance League Stupid rule change considering the names they could acquire off suspensions. Nonetheless, some overlooked talent still breaks through the CFL. See Cameron Wake.

Vince Young spent $5k per week at Cheesecake Factory and other tales of how to go broke
Vince Young spent $5k per week at Cheesecake Factory and other tales of how to go broke

How did Vince Young go broke after earning $26 million in six years of professional football? Cars? Trips? Houses? Women?

As Clay Travis details, the former Tennessee Titans quarterback had a more lowbrow, deep-fried road to the poorhouse: He spent thousands of dollars per week at chain restaurants.

Folks in the Nashville area helped piece together Young's squandered wealth during the3HL radio show this week. Among other tales, they report the University of Texas legend spent as much as $5,000 per week at Cheesecake Factory during his rookie season.

Five thousand. Per week. At a place with appetizers for $7.99.

A buddy of mine waited tables at Cheesecake for years. He served a number of famous people and large groups and estimates that the biggest tab he ever saw was $1,400 from a 20-person group. Even if Young brought the entire Titans offense out to eat, getting to $5,000 per week is mind-boggling. It's not like there's $90 steaks and $250 bottles of wine on the menu to help rack up tabs, you know?

Other amazing, hard-to-believe rumors: Young once spent $6,000 in a single sitting at T.G.I. Fridays, he paid a kid $200 to carry his luggage at the airport and he'd do $600 shots of Louis XIII de Remy Martin at Morton's after games. It's the last one that's most appalling. Shooting, rather than sipping, a fine cognac is like putting ketchup on Kobe beef. Or, more appropriately, spending $6,000 at T.G.I. Friday's.
