"concern over vince young's emotional well-being": should we be discussing it?

[whatwoulddamondo?]

yes, from the standpoint that it makes an impact on the team, i agree.

but this is more about what exactly went down last night. i've heard it lead off almost every news show on espn today. yes, he's a public figure, and having the cops sent out to look for someone that well-known is a news story... but it wouldn't be a news story had it not been leaked by the titans in the first place.

i just feel dirty even talking/reading about this, kind of on the same plane as a couple years ago with t.o. i'm expecting someone to trot out the "25 million reasons to live" line again.

So why did the Titans leak it? Though I think eating chicken wings and watching Monday Night Football is suicidal.

 

[tapintoamerica]

I doubt the Titans "leaked" it. The matter was public because the police were called. Anybody listening to a scanner heard it last night. Once a police report is issued, the story's coming out.

It's only a big deal as to how it affects the team, and when your "star" quarterback is showing fragility and unstable in regard to mind state and what his mood is, it is a story.

Or scarfing chicken wings. That'll pack the pounds on you.

Gotta vote with Tap. Once the police are involved, you gotta go with it.

I leave my cell phone at home all the time when I go out. But nobody starts a thread about me.

Yup... no other way to play it,.

And lest we forget, Mr. Young famously said in an interview earlier this year he was considering early retirement. He doesn't appear to be able to handle everything that has been throw at him. I hope he's undergoing counseling if it's a mental thing. But yes, we should be talking about this.

You ain't gettin' paid that much.

 

[pallister]

But I'm probably a better quarterback.

That's because nobody here likes you. Don't take it personally though.

Well, I think our job is kinda to tell the fans what's going on. So yeah.
And T.O. two years ago? For fans, who don't interact with the guy all the time like reporters do, that episode explained a lot that some of them hadn't quite grasped, at least in Philadelphia.

Although with Vince, the kissingsuzykolber boys photoshopping a Titans helmet on Brittney Spears as she attacked a car with an umbrella mighta been a bit over the top ...

What ever happened to confidentiality between patient and doctor. Am I missing something or did this Dr. Phil wannabe break that rule?

 

[imjustagirl]

You're missing something.

In the case of a fear of someone harming themselves, doctors are required to tell family. How that went to Fisher finding out, and then the police finding out, and then it being in a police report...that's a whole 'nother deal.

But that's just it, the doctor didn't tell the family. I wonder if he or she was trying to gain 15 minutes of fame.

I agree that the police report means the story should be written.

But it seems like the Titans and/or the doc have really added a lot of details to it that I'd think were covered by HIPPA, or at least some sense of decency on the part of the doctor and organization.

Exactly. Now everyone thinks this kid is a nut case or on the verge of being one. Whenever he gets booed, and it's gong to happen, people are going to see how he reacts.
This information should never have been released and if I were Vince, I'd sue. The first person would be the shrink followed by the Titans.

this is where i'm coming from. i don't think there's a lawsuit, per se, in this whole episode, i just wish there had been some more respect for someone who is seeking counseling and trying to find direction.

as far as the shrink alerting fisher, i can see that -- young's mom is not there, and fisher is probably the closest person to young in the area. if there was a genuine concern about young's well-being, i'd be calling fisher first.
