Vince Young gets in a fight at a strip club, and here's video


Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young punched a guy at a strip club, and like all strip-club crawls, it started for a really good reason: because someone flashed an upside-down "Hook 'em Horns" gesture.

At least, that's the story we have for now. From various reports, the story seems to go like this: Vince Young(notes) wanted to withdraw some money at the "cash cage," but got upset about a surcharge. Young went back to the strip-club's "office" to complain, and he talked to a guy, and things seemed to end amicably.

That's when a gentleman going by the name of Creiton Kinchen, according to ESPN's report, "insulted Young and made a derogatory sign referencing the University of Texas."

That's when people stopped using their words, and started using their fists. Fortunately for us, it's all on video:


Now, Young hasn't said anything yet, so it's probably a good idea to withhold judgment until we hear his side of the story. But really, what can the man say to convince people that it was a sound and logical decision to get in a fight at a strip club?

Kinchen suffered a bloody lip and required no medical attention. Now, something like this isn't the end of the world — Young received a citation from police and legally, the worst that can happen to him is a $500 fine — but myself, I look at it from the point of view of someone who's interested in Vince Young's growth as a person and a leader. In that sense ... it's not good news

ITV shows English fans an ad instead of Gerrard goal


England supporters had been waiting four long years to get back to the World Cup stage to finally see what their proud Three Lions had in them against the world's best. So they were undoubtedly very excited to see Steven Gerrard slot home the first goal of their World Cup campaign against the U.S. Except many of them didn't see it.

Viewers of ITV HD weren't presented with those triumphant images, as the network completely, 100 percent, absolutely, unquestionably, blew it. Instead of the goal, ITV showed viewers an inexplicably placed advertisement, the ITV HD logo, then nothing at all, until right after Gerrard scored the match's fast first goal.

Of course, this isn't the first time ITV has done this. Two seasons ago, it cut to an ad just as Everton scored a winner against Liverpool and promised harsh action to address the problem. Guess not.

Sadly, they didn't have an in-game advertisement to cover up Robert Green's amazing choke show later in the match. That would've been welcomed

Big Baby grows up in time to save Celtics



Glen Davis says he doesn't remember Nate Robinson jumping on his back during Game 4.

BOSTON – The call had come at 3 a.m. in late October, and Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers had to hear his general manager Danny Ainge tell him again. What happened to Big Baby? … What? Opening night awaited hours away, and this news needed repeating for a groggy coach with a championship roster.


Out of a sweet slumber, into a pure nightmare, Rivers was told about one more idiotic act from an immature kid.

Only him, Rivers had to think. Only this clown show.

He had been out with his buddy and their girlfriends. An old high school buddy, the driver had thrown a punch and Big Baby decided he’d return a jab to the joker holding the steering wheel. His SUV was on the move, and his season threatened to come to a crashing end.

Davis had a new $6.3 million contract, a shiny new cast for his broken hand and a fib for Rivers when the coach reached him hours later on the phone. He gave Davis a chance to tell the truth, and Big Baby’s instincts were still wrong, because he started down a dark road of deceit.

“He tried to another route with me at first,” Rivers said late Thursday outside the Celtics’ locker room. And that didn’t go too well for Davis because Rivers knew the truth. Davis’ lie only enraged Rivers. Bad idea, Doc told him. Bad, bad idea.


And soon, Big Baby was blubbering on the phone, crying and crying. And perhaps that was because it didn’t sound so much like an angry coach, but a disappointed dad.

“You’ve only got one name,” Rivers told him. “You’ve only got one reputation.” Soon, the guilt just washed over, and Big Baby Davis cried and cried. It wouldn’t be until 27 games later – until Christmas Day – that Davis made his season debut for the Celtics. His immature act had to be tolerated because the Celtics needed him, and on Thursday night there was Davis standing in the center of the Garden, the spittle dripping from his chin
