Young surprises McNair's sons

For one day at least, Vince Young stepped up to try to fill the void for the late Steve McNair's two young sons, the Tennessean reported Thursday.

Young surprised 11-year-old Trenton and 5-year-old Tyler on Wednesday by showing up at their house and taking them to their school's "Dear Dads Breakfast" at a local restaurant...

Hey may not be doing the nest things on the field

but he certainly is doing it off the field. Good man, VY!

Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.

Anyone that questions

the type of person VY is should read this piece. Great human being!

Definitely worth reading the comments on ESPN too

Even though it was a fairly simple gesture, I think this might be one of the best sports-related stories of 2009. Anyone that has followed VY since high school and read about his family situation and the role Steve McNair played as a mentior knows that this was 100 percent sincere. I don’t know about you, but this definitely is the type of guy I want representing our school and football program.

the man, the myth, the legend.
