Say, did you guys know Vince wanted to commit suicide?! It’s true! He totally told me!
Also, Al Haynesworth is a premature ejaculator! Totally fires off warning shots! Came on his girlfriend’s pants one time!
Also, you know how Keith Bulluck looks all manly? Turns out he really wants to be a woman.
Oooh! Oooh! Kerry Collins told me he’s fallen off the wagon, like 60 times!
And LenDale White was abused as a kid! That’s why he eats so much! He leaves a case of Clark bars under the bed and everything!
YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE ALL THE COOL SHIT PEOPLE TELL ME!

Listen, your all being terribly insensitive. If I was told I couldn’t go to an all men’s club and dance around with my shirt off…I might contemplate offing myself too. Why can’t people just accept Vince for who he is? That’s what this is really all about afterall. There’s a conversation between Vince and Jeff that’s just waiting to see the light of day! :D
Is anybody else intrigued by the “Suicide Ringtones” banner?
if i had to live in with the image of jeff fisher in his post game shower towel i’d want to off myself too
Look just because he received his degree from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College doesn’t mean he’s a bad therapist.
C’mon guys, do you honestly think that a woman could keep her yap shut?
I hope the therapist faces some serious consequences.
If there’s any justice in the world some day that bastard will say of his chat with Jeff ‘next to Jason Sehorn the best white DB ever’ Fisher, “it hurted me more than anything.” Break confidentiality, go to jail. It’s the law. He’ll thrive in prison, trust me.
it is technically correct that you can break confidentiality rules if you believe your client is going to hurt himself or herself or others. But that doesn’t mean you tell the media. I hope the therapist faces some serious consequences
Vince actually said to a local TV reporter, and I quote, “it hurted me more than anything”.
@310
That is a question only the gods could answer…
@Billy
Then how is Joey Harrington still walking this earth?
i can see why “highly irrational, profoundly depressed, suicidal individual who owns at least one gun is on his way in a fast car to the occupied Titans business and practice facility” merited a warning phone call to the Titans.
/now it’s over
The peoples booed him and hurted his feelings. Of course he cried like a girl on the sidelines and then wanted to commit suicide.
I don’t think anybody questions the shrink’s judgment in alerting the police. The issue that I have is why the Titans organization and Coach Fisher were involved. It did not seem that Vince indicated that he was a threat to anybody but himself, thus I do not see how Tarasoff applies.
/no more Torts
First off – a THERAPIST ? Second, isn’t Vince like g&y (NTTAWWT)? (Remember the pictures of him in the nightclub?)
You’re a young man, your face is all over the internet, papers and tv, women THROW themselves at you constantly, you have more money than, well, it’ll take your posse a LONG time to spend it, and at least in Vince’s case – his mom gives a crap.
I know therapists help people, I’m just trying to figure out what he has to be depressed about? UNless he’s bi-polar or it’s chemical (non-drugs) in nature.
Yeah, once a patient says they are contemplating hurting themself or others, that whole confidentiality thing goes out the window. The Psychiatrist’s responsbility is to make sure they don’t/can’t harm anyone, including themselves. He made the right decision.
someone must have touched his butthole
many states have laws that require psychs to make disclosures about patients if they are convinced the individual will seriously injure or kill themself or others. they are sometimes referred to as “Tarasoff” laws, after a CA case where a psych was sued for negligence/wrongful death for failing to warn a woman his patient said repeatedly in sessions that he was going to kill, and he killed her.
thus, i’m not surprised or concerned that the psych reported the suicide talk, but i’m not clear on why she called the Titans instead of the cops. unless her name is Mary Kate Olson.
/resume dick jokes
Vince just needs a little temosil.
great post.
@Spanky
Think Freud didn’t know that when he developed the term?
Remember, you can’t spell psychoanalysis without PSYCHO and ANAL.
Richard Dreyfus really should stick to acting and leave the psychoanalysis to someone more qualified, like the shrink in that “Seinfeld” episode.
Where can I get that guy’s number? I really need to know if the woman really does have a problem with her tonsils for the past 4 years.
@StuScott
The same way BDD does, excessive references to it in EVERYTHING he does with his life…
Well how the fuck is he supposed to sell books if he doesn’t tell people this shit?
I understand the part about alerting the police, but telling Jeff Fisher or anybody in the Titans organization strikes me as a breach of professional ethics. The therapist’s duty is to Vince Young, not the Titans organization. Further, I can’t see how any Titans player could ever feel comfortable talking to this therapist again if the player feels that there is the possibility of confidential personal information being divulged to his employer. Of course, if the therapist thought that Jeff Fisher was in fact Jimmy “The Mouth of the South” Hart, then all bets are off.
In fairness to the therapist (hehe…the rapist), I think they are required to alert the police if they think their patient is danger to themselves or others. A emotionally unstable football player in an Escalade could pose a threat to the public, especially one with a gun. Uh…dick joke.
