VY impostor on the loose in D.C.

So get this: There’s a man actively trying to convince people he’s Eagles backup QB Vince Young.

Let that sink in for a moment.

NBC Washington reported Monday that Young is being impersonated by a man in the area, an extremely illegal activity that has authorities on the lookout.

“I heard that he has been taking money, taking pictures with little kids at hospitals,” Young said Monday. “It’s been real sick.”

According to the agency that represents Young, the fraud was collecting money for appearances as the quarterback and “conning unsuspecting women and some men into believing his scam.”

(Come on, ladies. Conned by a dude saying he’s Vince Young? He’s not even the starter! You’re better than that.)

Naturally, this is serious business for Young, who tweeted Monday that the impostor is a dangerous career criminal named Stephan Pittman.

“I want to get it out there to the news and everybody to keep a watch out for this guy,” Young said, “because he’s not me.”

If we were Young, we’d try to spin this unfortunate situation into a positive. Don’t like my pocket presence? It was the other guy. Think my work habits stink? Blame Faux-VY. Think it was dumb of me to call the Eagles a “Dream Team”? You’re talking to the wrong guy.

Jets CB Cromartie Lets Loose on Both Sides in CBA Dispute

Credit Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie with a favorite word in the dictionary-”a-hole.”

Two weeks ago Cromartie used his favorite word to describe Pro Bowl quarterback and future Hall-of-Famer Tom Brady two wees ago. Now, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Cromartie is sounding off on the NFL’s uncertain labor landscape. He is equally critical of the NFL and the players’ union.

“Honestly, I don’t give a damn if they get mad at me or not,” Cromartie said. “But it’s getting to the point where it’s getting ridiculous when everything is always dealing with money. You’re basically dealing with people’s livelihoods… You’re dealing with hundreds of thousands of other people in this workplace from the venues to everyone else. To me, you need to stop bitching about it. If you want to say that you want to get into a room and meet. Then, do it. Don’t just talk about it.”

“You got our head union rep acting like an a-hole,” Cromartie added. “They got their guys acting like a-holes. So they just need to get their sh– together and just get it done.”

Many observers agree with Cromartie’s characterization of the two sides.
