Vince Young and Richard Seymour starred in the NFL's most recent episode of "NFL Players Behaving Immaturely."
Both talented players embarrassed themselves and hurt their teams with displays of non-professionalism from guys who call themselves professionals.
Seymour's action will have a shorter shelf life, though it was a did-you-see-that moment. Young's decisions will reverberate for a long time -- because his actions doom somebody's future in Tennessee.
It's a stunning tumble for a guy who was so brilliant in that national championship game win over USC. Remember the vision of Young standing amidst the confetti after his dramatic win? That vision is replaced by a guy who threw his shoulder pads into the stands in a post-game snit worthy of Guinness (the book, not the beverage).
The Tennessean also provided details of a locker-room confrontation between Young and coach Jeff Fisher, and it included Young leaving as Fisher addressed the team. Fisher told Young not to walk out on his teammates. Young told Fisher he was walking out on him and he ignored the pleas of safety Michael Griffin, who chased him down and tried to get him to stop.
Young may as well keep walking -- perhaps all the way back to Texas. Because his future in Tennessee seems finished. Well ... either his future with the Titans is done or Fisher's is, because the only thing that might keep Young in Nashville would be if owner Bud Adams supported Young over Fisher. Adams, after all, was the guy who forced Fisher to draft Young. And he's the guy who forced Fisher to play Young last season. And he's the guy who signs the checks.
