Vince Young excused from Titans meeting to spend time with Steve McNairs kids...

[Darth Biscuit]

Young attended a “Dear Dads Breakfast” for the sons of Steve McNair at St. Paul Christian Academy. He picked up Tyler and Trent McNair at their home that morning, took them to breakfast and school. He did the same thing last September following the death of McNair.

Young asked Fisher for permission to attend the function several weeks back.

“He showed up, took them, brought them to school and was quite the hit,’’ said Julie Dilworth, admissions director at St. Paul Christian Academy. “He has been so good to those boys. He does a lot with them, great things. I love that it wasn’t just words for him when he said he would help. He has stepped up and done it, and it is a blessing.’’

Never really known what to think about Vince Young, always kind of seemed like a slacker to me... this is really cool of him to do.

I applaud him for this. He's grown a lot in my eyes. And I don't think he was as much of a slacker as any of us at that age. People tend to grow as a person when they get older.

Feel good story of the year. I've got a great respect for Vince and what he's doing. Its one thing to say it and another to do it.

Thats really great I feel sorry for those kids but its great that Vince has backed his words up and is helping them. Nothing can replace your real dad, but I'm sure knowing you've got a father figure there for you helps.

I've always felt Vince Young was a good guy, he just let the stress and pressure of the job get to him. I hope he tears it up this year.

This story is also a testament to the kind of man McNair was to Vince Young. The same values he inspired in Young are now being passed down to his children. It's just a shame he's no longer around to do that himself.

McNair is not there for his children because he cheated on their mother. Not great values to pass along. His death was tragic and the circumstances compounded that for his children (and wife). I hope Young has his head on straight for the sake of the kids, but his recent history is worrisome. It is nice of him to want to help and then to follow through. Sometimes by helping others you help yourself. Hope it works for all of them.

I'm sure McNair taught his kids to cheat on women, and for that he deserved to die. I don't know of anyone who is a saint. McNair was obviously in the wrong for cheating on his wife, but he certainly made an impact on Young and you're now seeing that trickle down to his children. He made an impact on many of the people he came in contact with; it seems silly to criticize the guy for a mistake.

I hope when I pass, people don't allow any of my mistakes to define me as a person.
