Vince Young is a winner. Period. Anyone who still doubts this kid is smoking crack. Straight up. 3 fourth down conversions? 99 yards? Had to score a touchdown? I don’t have to say anything else. Mercy.

I was wrong last week. Hey, you can’t win them all or if we are speaking of Week 11 picks, even some in my case. I’ll wear that but remember, that was Tampa Bay…not the Patriots.

Straight up, I wanted to name this Vince Young Sticks it to the Man, but there hasn’t truly been any sticking. Vince is just taking the NFL out on a date. The brotha hasn’t even met Moms. He’s still a little nervous sitting down at dinner with the fam. He’s crisp, quick of wit, makes the hometown sick.
