Police say Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was involved in an altercation outside a Dallas strip club, but no arrests are planned.
Dallas police Lt. Andy Harvey said the former University of Texas star was not at Club Onyx when police responded to a call of a physical confrontation early Sunday morning.
Harvey said the incident was being investigated and no arrests were planned. He said he had no other details.
Titans spokesman Robbie Bohren said the team was aware of the incident and had contacted Young. He said the club was still gathering information.
Young was the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft after leading the Longhorns to a national championship.

well that news clip doesn't say a whole lot of anything.
young might just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but having said that i have to ask why can't sports stars especially nfl players control themselves when there is alcohol and hot women involved?
seems like they need to grow up a little.

Here is a news clip with security footage and more details.
"From various reports, the story seems to go like this: Vince Young(notes) wanted to withdraw some money at the "cash cage," but got upset about a surcharge. Young went back to the strip club's "office" to complain, and he talked to a guy, and things seemed to end amicably.
That's when a gentleman going by the name of Creiton Kinchen, according to ESPN's report, "insulted Young and made a derogatory sign referencing the University of Texas."
That's when people stopped using their words, and started using their fists. Fortunately for us, it's all on video:
Now, Young hasn't said anything yet, so it's probably a good idea to withhold judgment until we hear his side of the story. But really, what can the man say to convince people that it was a sound and logical decision to get in a fight at a strip club?
Kinchen suffered a bloody lip and required no medical attention. Now, something like this isn't the end of the world -- Young received a citation from police and legally, the worst that can happen to him is a $500 fine -- but myself, I look at it from the point of view of someone who's interested in Vince Young's growth as a person and a leader. In that sense ... it's not good news."
