PrintIt looks like it will be this Sunday's edition, but you may want to check. Usually on at 6:00, but will probably be running late with football games still on.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young opens up to "60 Minutes" on Sunday. He is still unhappy about losing the 2005 Heisman Trophy to Reggie Bush.
Does Young think he is better than Bush?
"I always feel like I'm better. Always," Young tells correspondent Scott Pelley.
Young describes himself as "angry" about losing the Heisman. "And I wanted to show the world that I was the real Heisman Trophy winner. But on paper, Reggie Bush is the Heisman Trophy winner. [I am] not taking nothing from him, he knows he's a phenomenal athlete."
Because of a football overrun, "60 Minutes" will air from 7:30 to 9 p.m. this Sunday on WKMG-Channel 6.
The 90-minute edition of "60 Minutes" also will feature a two-part Steve Kroft interview with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a Katie Couric report on bipolar diagnoses in young children.
As for Young, the quarterback tells "60 Minutes" that he is determined to help his team make the playoffs this season. "I'm not trying to predict it right now, but how we're looking right now, we have a big shot," Young says.

Robbery
that arguably the greatest game changer in college football history had to settle for 2nd place behind Bush. How many of those voters wanted a do-over after the Rose Bowl? Bush was a great player, but not in Vince's class. Vince willed that team to a win while Bush wasn't even in the game for the Trojan's biggest play.
It would be alright if Bush was a good guy, but I think we all get the feeling he isn't. But let's see their NFL careers play out. We've all seen the criticisms of Bush today, and I think they are legitimate.
As a Cowboy fan, I compare him to Roy Williams. A player with an unbelievable rep coming out of school, Williams has lived off that rep for the past six years. He makes the occasional great play but is average at best. That is what I see happening with Bush.

Cowboys fan myself
And it drives me nuts how overhyped RW is. He is such a gigantic liability in coverage that he actually played himself out of a 2nd contract.
Remember when he made the pro bowl 2 years ago? He had played so poorly during the season that when someone told him he was on the roster, he was confused and couldn't understand how it happened.
also a cowboys fan
roy williams analogy:
Texas: Brandon Foster = Dallas : Roy Williams
such an overrated player who got a fat contract early this year. this is the only guy i hate out of the whole team...
one more thing
and then you consider that Ed Reed was in that draft class but went 20 spots lower, you just have to shake your head and imagine what could have been.
one other thing
I think Bush also got votes because he didn't win the year before, when he was clearly the best player in the country. But they always give the award to the quarterback of the best team. So then the voters tried to make up for that by giving him his Heisman the next year. Heisman is crap. I feel like it loses validity every year. Frankly, I've completely lost interest in who wins, because it's never the best player. It's like winning class president in high school.
Vince...
....needs to let it go. He didn't win the Heisman and nothing he says years later will change that fact.
He showed Mack Brown how to win a conference championship and then single-handedly won the national championship. He should be happy with those accomplishments.
These comments only make him appear to be a smaller man. As he matures, he'll regret the interview.
They asked him if he "was" disappointed
Past tense my man. If he had lied people would say he came off phony.
Vince's raw energy and candid personality make him who he is.
Nope
Scott Pelley: "but you think you're better...."
V.Young: "Always. I always fell like I'm better."
Nothing past tense about it. He was in the present tense. Like Rome said, turn the page. You're the better pro.
Reggie Deserved It
Come on guys we are all way to biased here. Even though, it would have been great for VY to win it Reggie fit the heisman moniker the best. He was the best player in the country.
Not to take anything from VY but Reggie was no chump. He showed up and played great in almost every single game. He had all the electric highlight real plays, except the pump and 80 yard run and had big games in all the big games.
If the heisman vote took place after bowl games then VY would and should have won it straight down but it doesn't and reggie got it.
Who cares he got the national championship and reggie didn't.
VY is such a baby sometimes. Yeah it hurt but you got move on. The baby Matt Cryheart didn't complain after losing out two years in a row.
