Young: Fans Getting Old


Vince Young is a very talented NFL quarterback. His team, the Tennessee Titans won their first game of the season by a 17-10 margin over Jacksonville. So why is Vince Young so sad? He's sad because he's been the target of boos and ridicule from the fans.
Fans can be cruel. They ultimately pay your salary, but they can also be jerks. Mind you, I'm not siding with Young. When you make $13,143,000 a year, as he did in 2007, criticism comes with the territory. You don't have to listen to it! Unless it comes from your bosses...they're the ones who decided that you're worth 13-mill-a-season.
My advice: Vince, be a man. The NFL is making you very wealthy - enjoy the ride!

If the NFL is too demanding, perhaps you can go into your dad's line of work.
