Reason Number 3,656 to Love Vince Young

Got it on video…ouch.

While most of us will understand, Goodell will not, especially when/where it occurred.

This is not good for Vince. And who the hell SHOWS UP to a strip club at 3:30 am???

If this is what happened, my opinion of the whole affair just shifted 160 degrees (not 180, mind you).

I still think it’s inordinately stupid to be rich and famous and hanging at strip clubs, but God bless Vince if that’s how it went down.

Athletes and strips clubs usually don’t mix well. Regardless, I hate the horns down and love Vince Young. Think Goodell suspends him?

Even money says that VY hits like a girl.

What a fucking retard. You’re a multi-millionaire NFL starting QB. People would kill to have your worst day. So you punched the manager of a strip club while at that club because he talked smack about your college football team? Instead, you just point out the three ways you have scoreboard:
1) Wealth
2) Access to vag (the club manager pays for it, Vince just gets it thrown at him)
3) UT’s extensive run that started with VY.

And he got caught doing it on tape? Guess what, Vinnie? Juries don’t smile on pampered athletes throwing punches at anyone who hasn’t thrown first. Even in Texas. Even if the guy totally had it coming. Because you were in a strip club at 330am, numbnuts. Wave bye-bye to about a quarter of a million dollars between the legal fees and the punitive damages. Also, you just took a large chunk out of your next contract. I wouldn’t be in the slightest surprised to see Vince take a suspension for this. Goodell is that kind of guy, and Roethlisberger got suspended when charges didn’t even stick.

I really and truly hope there’s a lot more to this story.

Juries, Nate?

There is no arrest or trial here. He was issued a citation and a $500 fine.

Yes, he shouldn’t have put himself in this position and sure, he has to show more restraint than that. But I’m having a tough time not loving this.

I always liked VY, and have to say this is a net gain for the Vince Young brand in my eyes. Still shouldn’t have done it and all that, but still.

“Juries don’t smile on pampered athletes throwing punches at anyone who hasn’t thrown first. Even in Texas. Even if the guy totally had it coming. Because you were in a strip club at 330am, numbnuts.

That stuff is the least of his worries. I’m afraid he’s looking at lethal injection.

I know that a strip club isn’t exactly Nieman Marcus, but it’s still a business that relies on keeping customers happy to make a profit. Isn’t it kinda like the manager’s job to defuse situations like this? Or at least not openly antagonize paying customers?

Not trying to apologize for VY at all, but dude you’re the fucking manager. If someone’s unruly, just have them escorted out instead of trying to incite a confrontation by being a little bitch.

nordberg – haha!

This only makes me love VY more. I’ll have to think of some clever way to give him praise for this situation if I ever meet him.

Will this kill the Big Twelve?

" Wave bye-bye to about a quarter of a million dollars between the legal fees and the punitive damages"

Yeah, a Texas jury is going to want to award big dollars to some white trash Okie idiot strip club employee who ran his mouth to a Texas legend.

and Roethlisberger got suspended when charges didn’t even stick.

Comparing him to Rapethlisberger is a little strong. Vince got a class c misdemeanor like a PI or disorderly conduct. He won’t even see a judge.

Maybe the manager was just reminding him of his Wonderlic score.

“And he got caught doing it on tape? "

Yes he did and I fully understand why it’s so appalling to Okies, since Vince did in fact break Barah’s cardinal rule “Don’t get caught”.

I’m also a little surprised that when threatened, this strip club douche didn’t use the time honored Sooner response by making a grab for Vince’s nutsack. Course if he did, he would be dead and Vince would be facing manslaughter charges right now. So I guess I’m thankful for his restraint.

Is it just me or does it seem like it’s very easy to act like a tough guy when posting on the interwebs?

Here’s some video:

The video in question is here:

I, for one, file punching an idiot for putting his horns down under “shit I’d like to do, but don’t, for obvious reasons” Then again, I’m not showing up at the strip club at 3:30am either. Go figure.

VY needs to plead no contest and pay his $500 ASAP. The quick plea will not be an admission of guilt for civil purposes, AND an “Assault by Contact” charge based on the alleged victim’s statements means the OU fan was too stupid to claim an actual injury (meaning no $$$ for you!), AND the plea should foreclose the possibility of any further criminal charges being brought against him (double jeopardy bar holla!).

The only downside? He’ll probably pay his personal lawyer $10k for that very same advice that I just provided pro bono.

No one with an ounce of brainpower understands the whole ‘millionaire athlete at a strip club’ thing either but come on, Vince, grow up.

Ain’t no sin to go to no scrip club

Punitive Damages? wtf?

The funniest (and saddest) thing is how Channel 8 considered it “Breaking News.”

VY til I die.

At least have The Posse punch the guy, you don’t want to break your fingers this close to camp.

Eh. I’ve definitely done some stupid shit at 3:30 A.M. I know for a fact from a previous post, that many people on this stage have engaged in FAR worse activities.

Pay your fine & walk. Incidentally, pls do have your posse hit the guy next time Vince.

I am going to re-watch the 2006 Rose Bowl tonight while lifting a glass or 3 to VY.

What’s overlooked in all this is that, up until this incident, that strip club manager was OU’s most successful alum.

Don’t mess with VY. We were just talking about Vince being an unstoppable force on the field. Looks like it also applies elsewhere.

I love Vince Young! As long as he only gets a $500 fine, I’m glad he decked the guy. The officers really minimized the damage the other fellow sustained. If he did try to sue, the fellow should be awarded a band-aid and the plaintiff should have to pay court costs.

Hook ’em!

ps: What the heck is the deal with us staying put in the Big 12? I have lost a lot of sleep over all of this nonsense, and we are staying put? I think we should stay put.

Dudes, VY didn’t have a choice, he had to regulate. It’s like that time when the Klingons insulted Scotty and called the Enterprise a piece of garbage. If a fool gets too familiar, he needs to get stomped out.

Paging Crash Davis!

I was going to rail on Nate for his retardation but that Trek post just threw me off.
