February 5, 20196 yr https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2019/02/05/ex-nfl-quarterback-vince-young-arrested-for-dwi/amp/ Damn it Vince [emoji35] Young was pulled over around 4 a.m. and booked into Fort Bend County Jail, according to a report by TMZ Sports.
February 5, 20196 yr I've seen Vince around in Houston lately. He drinks A LOT. But he usually has his crew with him. So not sure what happened there. He would benefit from an intervention, IMHO.
February 5, 20196 yr Not particularly surprised by this. Good life decisions dont really seem to be his thing.
February 5, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, 4th&Five said: Two DWI’s in less than three years. Get help, Vince. Mhm. Not a conclusive diagnosis but a really bad sign.
February 5, 20196 yr 7 minutes ago, 4th&Five said: Two DWI’s in less than three years. Get help, Vince. "Most recently Young was in the news for a 2016 DUI in Austin, Texas, where police reported he was driving dangerously. In video of the incident, he was seen getting impatient and belligerent with officers. After pleading no contest, Young was sentenced to 18 months’ probation." Not sure Vince gets to keep his job at Texas now?? The University kept him after the 2016 DUI though.......

February 6, 20196 yr With all that's going on in Houston and America, this is the very first story on ABC13 6:00pm news. Torbush.

February 6, 20196 yr One of the great things about American's is that we are a forgiving people. He can bounce back from this, but he's got to admit he has a problem, and then head off to a stint in rehab.

He can bounce back from this, but he's got to admit he has a problem, and then head off to a stint in rehab. Sometimes we are, frequently we are not. We are forgiving of people we have decided we like in advance (Ann Richards, Shrub, Vince) and quite unforgiving of people we know not at all.
February 6, 20196 yr Also for the people who always say, "why didn't he call an Uber or someone else" when these things happen. Since when do drunk people make smart and rational decisions. Drunk people always claim they are good and can drive. No matter how drunk. You have to force the keys from them or hide them. Unless he Ubere'd out there and had it planned in advance he was going to drive home, then he was going to be driving home no matter how much he had to drink. If drunk people made smart decisions, DUI's and drunk driving accidents would be non-existent.
February 6, 20196 yr I'll never understand how people with a posse can get in a situation where they have to drive themselves.

YOU NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND.
February 6, 20196 yr Posses usually exist because one guy pays for all the drinks. Does Vince even have the means to pick up the tab anymore? And if not, does he really have friends who could have gotten him home?

YOU NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND. Was he out with his posse on this night, though? If he was, then yes, they should have intervened and made sure him and everyone else got home safely. But if he went there by himself, then it's all on him. Either way, it's still his fault so not going to defer blame to his friends even if they were there. He's a grown man.
February 6, 20196 yr Vince has been a heavy drinker since college. This is not news. I'm not excusing it -- I'm saying he drinks at a level that to an outside observer could reasonably be called a problem. It doesn't make him any less of a legend on the football field (although it might have played into some of his issues in the pros, I don't know). Great lawyers and engineers and doctors and teachers who happen to be alcoholics often fuck up their lives. Maybe Vince is in that club, too.

I'm sure he isn't hurting for money and can pick up bar tabs of that amount.

February 6, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, Vic Mackey said: I really haven't. Well not that closely to his financials. Does he have money problems now? I don't know if he has money problems now but he basically makes a decent salary off UT and LHN. I don't think he has much in the bank, based on past information.
