NFL • Tennessee Titans

And in this corner . . .

We all know Vince Young has some of the best athletic skills in the National Football League. His breakout performance last season as a rookie put the rest of the league on notice that defenses were going to have to deal with whole new breed of player when they go up against the Tennessee Titans. But despite his being a multifaceted athlete with the ability to create plays with both his arm and his feet, Vince might do well to limit himself to playing football rather than, say, street fighting.

It seems that yesterday in practice Vince took a swing at safety Donnie Nickey and connected with a glancing blow to Nickey’s helmet — with his throwing hand. The second year QB apparently threw down after Nickey took two receivers to the ground, on one play by putting a choke hold on Courtney Roby. (Sounds like Vince might also have a future ahead if he decided to switch to playing hockey.)

Luckily for the Titans and Titans fans everywhere the scuffle was broken up quickly and Vince came out without serious injury. Just image, though, Vince could have become the first player in history to befall the Madden Curse due to a self-inflicted injury.
