Yesterday's Hero, Today's Bitch

What a finish. One of the best Rose Bowls ever. 4th and 5, with the National Championship on the line and Vince Young runs it in for the go ahead TD. Vince Young used to be the man. Unfortunately for him, he sucks now. Today it was announced that he wouldn’t be back next year as a Titan. Good move, as Vince Young stunk it up this year, before being injured. Sure, he had a good rookie season, and has had some good stretches. But c’mon, who didn’t think Vince Young would be great after his rookie season? I know I did. He was the man that year. But now, Vince Young is really just pathetic. He’s been pathetic for a while now, especially after he went and wanted to go kill himself. I wouldn’t blame him today if he wanted to, but back then he was still the man, and since then he’s lost a lot of credibility. Who knows where VY is going to end up. Who cares where he ends up. He’s a bitch now, and it’s unfortunate because I had such high hopes for him. Thinking about Vince Young also got me thinking about his rival QB from that 2006 Rose Bowl game. Matt Leinart. Also someone who was a great bro. When he was a fifth year starter at USC, he too was the man. Now, he’s the third string QB for the Texans. Talk about a fall from grace. Who would have thought that 5 years after that great Rose Bowl game, the two biggest stars would be the two biggest duds. It really taints the greatness of that game. They were two great players in college, and now they are on their way to being nobodies. You know what they say about glory days, they pass you by. Hope they enjoyed it while it lasted, and I hope Vince Young doesn’t go kill himself.
