The Tennessee Titans called police Monday night for help searching for Vince Young because his therapist told coach Jeff Fisher the quarterback mentioned suicide several times before driving away from his home with a gun.
Fisher and Young have said what happened Monday night was overblown by the media. But the supplemental report filed Tuesday by Nashville police showed that Fisher was worried about the quarterback after the call from Young's therapist.
"I asked him, 'What made her worry about him?' Lt. Andrea Swisher wrote. "He stated, 'His mood, his emotions, he wants to quit, and he mentioned suicide several times.' He went on to state that he left the house with a gun."
The Titans declined to comment on details of the report.
The Nashville City Paper obtained the report through a public records request and first reported the details yesterday afternoon on its Web site.
Young won't be making the trip with the Titans to Cincinnati for tomorrow's game so he can continue to get treatment on his sprained knee, Fisher said.
Giants-Jets:: The teams ended negotiations on stadium naming rights with a German insurance company that once had ties to the Nazis. Allianz had been seeking a deal to put its name on the stadium being built by both teams in the Meadowlands. The deal could have been worth about $30 million a year to the teams. The stadium is scheduled to be completed for the 2010 season. Allianz once insured Nazi death camps and refused to pay life insurance claims to its Jewish clients - instead granting the proceeds to the Nazis. The New Meadowlands Stadium, the company building the stadium, said yesterday it was no longer in discussions with Allianz. Allianz spokesman Peter Lefkin confirmed that talks were off. Its officials contended that the firm had atoned for its former support of the Third Reich by supporting reparations programs and working to become a responsible company. Allianz said it should no longer be held accountable for the company's record during World War II.
Saints:: The defense will be short at least three starters tomorrow against the Redskins. Safety Roman Harper, cornerback Randall Gay and linebacker Scott Fujita were unable to practice yesterday, and coach Sean Payton said they will not play.
Steelers:: Cornerback Deshea Townsend missed practice for a third consecutive day because of a bruised heel and is not expected to play tomorrow night in Cleveland.
