I heard that on espn today and i thought it was a great gesture by young. Maybe this will help with getting some of his public image cleaned up.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

He's not the smartest, but he has his heart in the right spot. He gets banged on a lot, but you could see his sincerity at that funeral. He couldn't hold it together.

He might be a bit too emotional and mentally unstable for this league, but he's no Pacman Jones or anything.

As to this gesture. Great job. Love that he's actually sticking to his word. Great job.

I haven't been impressed with Young since his Rose Bowl game.. that changed with this. Bravo young man.

Never a fan of Young.. But it's awesome to see this stuff.

I love how the egotistical people try to call out Young on how this was a PR move.

Yeah.. He did a GOOD thing in PRIVATE, that leaked. Not to mention the promise he made those boys at McNair's funeral. That was just the tip of his PR iceburg... Riiiiiiight... ::roll:

Anyway, Good on Vince!

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

And this is the stuff I was talking about. I doubt that he's made for the spotlight and see him lashing out to comments like this. And all of this while he really sounds like a good kid.

I hope he gets everything together. Like I said, great gesture. Love that he's sticking to his word.

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : IE "We bought into the Bears and they let us down, we have no choice to seek alternatives"

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : Or that Williams and his family are preparing an exit ramp if they don't like how things are going in a few years

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : I can only assume that the Williams camp agreed to cooperate with that article tells me 2 things

beast (13-May) : My question is how much do we trust Jenkins? In bad weather, he seemed to struggle a bit with ball control snapping, though he started at OG

Zero2Cool (13-May) : CB Rasul Douglas is visiting the #Seahawks today, per source.
