Vince is black, you know he’s been taken advantage of. Nothing is his fault. He should be the starter for the Baltimore Ravens making Flacco’s money.

The power they must have is so vast as to render Vince a mere puppet.

The NFL has orientation about being taken advantage, money, and what not.
You never get points by claiming to be a victim.

He just wasn’t smart enough to play the game. Pro defenses were cruel on his mind and that’s the end game.
He is smart enough to at least not admit how stupid he was as a player on the field.

Was it also someone else’s fault that you are a complete idiot and representative of where most pro athletes would be if they could not bounce, throw or hit a ball ?

He’s a little bit more mature, well, that solves everything. Come on Vince, face it your career is over. Find a different career.

You can’t go wrong by bringing this guy in for a TRYOUT….

Any team who picks him up is equally as idiotic. We (Local Titans bill payers) saw this FOOL blow so much cash in bars before and after games, when he should have been staying humble. He didn’t even take Mc Nair’s advise and guidance. We haven’t forgotten how much you made the Titans clowns of the AFC. That’s why we ran you out of The Ville. Trick.

Passing the blame is a sign of immaturity.

On the plus side, I can’t wait to see the documentary exploring “You know how all those athletes go broke after they retire — this guy managed to do it while still making good money.”

The last time I had a personal issue which might prevent me from performing at the highest level in my job, I spoke to my employer about it and communicated the issues, so we could all work together. Whatever happened to accountability? These guys are so out of touch, it’s sad. Not to mention taking a $300,000.00 loan out for a birthday party? Glad he is learning his lesson, I hope all the teams stay away from this guy. He will take the money and walk.

If the university trustees had a modicum of self-respect they’d audit the football team and the classes players take or don’t take. Same goes with other schools *cough* SEC *cough* which really make a mockery of “student”- athletes.
