Reality Check, Vince Young...

Anyone who knows me knows I value people's feelings over just about all else. I place a lot of emphasis on emotion and the interpersonal interactions between myself and my fellow man (and woman). So to me, what I'm about to say sounds a bit insensitive. But I'm gonna say it anyway.

Vince Young - if you don't like being boo'd, and you want something to improve your mental state, how about all those benjamins you've got in the bank? Or that huge house you have? Or that luxury SUV you're undoubtedly driving? You wanna play in the NFL, deal with it. That isn't going to change. If you suck, you get boo'd. Hell, your backup Kerry Collins has probably been boo'd just as much as anyone. And in at least four different cities, no less!

I mean I make the Manhattan equivalent of bread crumbs. Just enough to feed myself and fuel my penchant for booze et al. I get shit on everyday at work. And that's not even because I'm not good at what I do. It's just because some people relish the opportunity to shit on other people.

There are certain realities you accept when you sign on that dotted line. This is one of them. Stop whining and either shit or get off the pot. Play better and stop bitching or get out. It's really very simple.

Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Wow, The Raiders Are Unwatchable...

Did Al Davis send Roger Goodell a bag of his own feces for Christmas last year? If not, maybe he should this Christmas. Because despite the fact that the Raiders are clearly an awful awful franchise, the NFL's officials certainly didn't do anything to help their cause. Wow. That wasn't even like train wreck bad. That was like - I'm not even watching this, bad.

Good luck with that, Lane Kiffin.
