Lions benched Titus Young for sabotaging their passing offense

Per Birkett, Young purposely lined up in the wrong place on the field "multiple times" during the Lions' Week Eleven loss to Green Bay. He also "mouthed off" to receivers coach Shawn Jefferson before being benched for the final possession. Apparently upset that he wasn't getting enough passes thrown his way, Young responded by attempting to sabotage the Lions' passing offense. Yesterday- "We've moved on from him. He wants to be an a–hole, let him be an a–hole. It's not my problem. What we can control is the guys who want to be here. And when you act like that, you don't want to be here," Center Dominic Raiola said, via Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. "We've got good guys on offense. Don't be an a–hole and don't be a jerk."

Sabotaging the Detroit Lions? Having difficulty getting my mind round that concept.

Was hoping this crap was in the past for Titus Young. He was suspended at Boise State for character issues as well. He's a talented dude, but his immature attitude is getting tiresome. Sounds like a perfect fit for the Cowboys or Raiders after the Lions get rid of his ass.

It's like blowing up the tracks after the train has already wrecked.

Couldn't happen to a better team.

Yeah, it doesn't upset me that it's Detroit. I'm happy that its them and I'm glad it's a headache for the coaching staff.

Just like I felt some revenge on MNF when we embarrassed the Bears. For me, that makes up for the draft pick they screwed out of with the Briggs fiasco. Sweet, sweet revenge!

Now, the Giants...
