Texas_Thrill said:Infantry, I totally agree with you. If he was going for a interview wear a suit. He was not however going to an interview. To basically say this is a reason not to like VY is just totally preposterous.
If he was meeting with Cheney then I'd say he's meeting with the nation's leader but he was meeting with GW not DC. lol Sorry I couldn't help this shot. Don't pay attention to it.

If the Texans are looking to keep their "high class" player image they DO NOT want Vince Young. I have really tried to like the guy, but he keeps making me hate him.
1) During his pro announcement he REPEATED over and over how he need to "cash in" on this opportunity. Not to mention the guy can could not even speak proper English and shows up to make the biggest decision of his life with a crooked hat and baggy sweat shirt on.
2) He then immediately starting "cashing in" by charging $80 for non personalized autographs and charged an extra $100 for a picture with him.
OK so even if you overlook those 2 acts and blame it on a bad PR manager or immaturity, what he did yesterday really did it in for me.
The Texas Longhorns are invited to THE WHITE HOUSE to meet THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES. As the camera scrolls on CNN all the players are wearing very nice suits and ties until it gets to Vince Young. Vince is wearing some baggy jeans with some tennis shoes and a hoodie sweat shirt.
Who does this guy think he is? Have some repect for your elders, your peers, and most of all the country you live in which is about to let you make MILLIONS of dollars for someone who could not even pass their S.A.T. test.
I DO NOT want this guy as the face of our franchise.
This is the first thing he has done that has really bothered me. I can't say I was wild about gouging for his sig, or how the very first thing he did was go out and buy an expensive sports car, but those were just the marks of someone getting money for the first time, and I overlooked them. But, when you go to meet the President at the White House, show some friggin respect, and wear a suit. Is that too much to ask? While I can appreciate the differences between the NFL and his private life, it says something to me, and it's not good. You have to conform on a football team too, and play by the rules, and show respect to the coaches and elders on the team. It gives me the feeling he thinks the rules may not apply to him because he is BMOC. No one player is above the team, and when you see every single one of these young men show the proper respect at the WH, and then you see him in casual clothes, it shows a complete lack of maturity and understanding. While I am still not entirely opposed to us drafting him, it's made me really think, and I am now teetering for sure. I guess it's safe to say I am off the "draft Vince" bandwagon. And, it's enough for me to change my avatar, which I will do some time today.

VY isn't dumb enough to not wear a suit in front of Cheney--he might get shot.
Tex-fan0604 said:I agree with you .People are now bashing on VY because he doesnt dress to their standards.I really dont care how someone dresses as long as they get it done on the field.Yall people are just haters.I dont see yall supporting DC for having class.Yall keep saying he(DC) has no leadership skills but yet he does all the proper things like showing class and yall still hate on him.

I just want to make sure my reasons for liking or disliking said person is approved by the gand poo bah in charge of reasons to like or dislike someone.

swtbound07 said:i was going to make this point earlier, but the thread was locked. Maybe this is just me in my own personal viewpoint, but if Vince really doesn't like the president, he is trapped in a lose-lose situation. Athletes and other people in the past get absolutely trashed for skipping out on the traditional meeting of the president, and now vince is getting trashed for not showing the proper amount of respect in his attire. Ridiculous. I would do anything I possibly could to avoid that particular visit....I dont like the man, and Im the type of person not to compromise my personal opinion and put on a false pretense for the sake of decorum.
Porky said:You respect the office not the person. It's really not that hard. I despised Bill Clinton, but I would have worn the best suit I could find if I were invited to meet him at the White House. The only ridicoulous thing I see here is not being able to differentiate the man and the office. It's no wonder we have the society we do when we can't even agree that certain functions require a certain level of decorum and respectfullness.
ToroFan said:This is pretty funny...I've been on interviews in other cities where things go wrong...Your luggage gets lost, something tears, you get sick, etc...you can reschedule the interview...
You don't reschedule the President of the US...
For goodness sake people he was trying to be inconspicous...Some have said that you can get a suit in D.C. from pretty much anywhere...I am Vince's size and lemme tell you just can't buy one of those off the shelf, they need to be altered...And since we are speaking about hypotheticals that he could have bought a suit right before hand, take a moment to consider that there may have not been time to go out and grab a suit...
He did not want to offend anybody by not showing up...Some people really need to focus on other things...like perhaps winning so that the Texans can perhaps one day take a visit to the White House that day...If that is the worst thing that can happen in which our star player can get his suit to visit the White House for a championship, I would love to have that problem![]()

Bullpen Drew said:I don't think it's fair to judge him on his attire....
however he is not an intellectual speaker compared to Reggie Bush....as a player Young has more heart....
Those factors will come to play in the decision for the 1st pick.
When Terry Bradshaw was a young quarterback someone said that Terry Bradshaw was so dumb that he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him a C and an A.PowerfulDragon said:Isn't a QB supposed to be smart and articulate?
swtbound07 said:I dont particularly feel the need to show homage or respect to the decorum of the office of the president of the united states. My personal opinion of both the man who currently resides there and the office that he occupies would definitely sway the way i acted in a given situation. Im not the type to fall in line because polite society dictates it. If I was invited to the white house, I would decline, and if it was a "team" function to which i had to attend, I would wear whatever I felt like wearing. When George Bush visits my house he can wear whatever he likes. By the by, I met GW back when he was just governor and my mother worked on one of his tactical advisory committees. I was in jeans and a t-shirt....he seemed to be okay with my apparent lack of decorum.

AtheGreat said:still, its the idea of it all. you have to have the respect for the place and person you're seeing. there is no way that, once he got there, he couldn't have gotten a suit in D.C. somewhere. he's a great althelte but his class really comes into question with this. oh, and when i saw the thing in the newpaper about him charging $100 for a picture, i almost choked on my toast. guy could really use some lessons in humility.

infantrycak said:No, why?
the Vicks and T.O.s of the league are great athletes and great players.. but I dont want them representing this city, and I dont want them causing problems behind the scenes. We have seen what T.O. can do to a team.. and Vick.. some people may say that he leads his team despite his immaturity and ego, but give it time.. the way he throws the rest of his team under the bus when he doesnt play well is gonna blow up in his face eventually.
travfrancis said:WHOOAAAA cowboy, slow down. comparing vincent young to TO and marucs vick is way out of line.
wow, the guy forgets to pack a suit on a trip to the White House and he is suddenly a lockerroom cancer and criminal?
