Vince Young hires agent with eye on comeback

Former NFL quarterback Vince Young has hired agent Leigh Steinberg in an apparent attempt to reboot his football career.

Steinberg announced that he signed Young, 33, in a Twitter post on Wednesday, declaring Young has a “dream of playing more football.”

Young, the former star at Texas, has not played in an NFL regular-season game since 2011 and retired from football in 2014.

The Spring League, an independent four-team football league made up of free agents that debuts in April, has publicly expressed interest in adding Young, the former No. 3 overall pick who earned Rookie of the Year honors and made the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2009 during his six years in the NFL.

Young last attempted a comeback in 2014, a brief offseason stint with the Cleveland Browns. He signed following a minicamp tryout but was cut days after the Browns drafted Johnny Manziel. Before that, Young was cut by the Green Bay Packers in the preseason in 2013.

  • Vince Young, the former Texas Longhorns star and NFL quarterback, was sentenced to 18 months of probation for a drunken-driving arrest in January 2016.

Young works for the University of Texas as a development officer in its division of diversity and community engagement.

He returned to his alma mater, where he led the Longhorns to a national championship in 2005, following his retirement and took a position specifically created for him that pays $100,000 annually.

Young was sentenced to 18 months probation in January after pleading no contest to a DWI charge. He was fined $300 and ordered to complete 60 hours of community service to resolve his case after a January 2016 arrest in Austin.

Wenger: Arsenal 'collapsed' in 'nightmare' loss to Bayern

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had a pointed response when probed about his side’s capitulation Wednesday against Bayern Munich, saying, simply, that his men fell apart after the interval.

Bayern scored four goals in a second half that seemed to be played on a slanted pitch, leaving the Gunners on the wrong end of a 5-1 battering for the second consecutive trip to the Allianz Arena.

“It is difficult to explain,” Wenger told BT Sport after the match, as quoted by ESPN FC. “I felt we had two good chances to score just before half-time.

“I felt we were unlucky for the second goal, the referee gave a corner for us at first. Then we concede the second goal and then the most important was that we lost Koscielny. We collapsed.

“Overall I must say they are a better team than us, they played very well in the second half and we dropped our level. We were a bit unlucky, we dropped our level and they were better than us.”

The Frenchman added: “The last 25 minutes were a nightmare for us. We didn’t have an answer.”

Report: Life of Brady to be focus of book, movie

Tom Brady’s story will be coming to a bookstore and movie theater near you, Deadline reports.

Both the book and film will focus on the New England Patriots quarterback’s career and his run to a fifth Super Bowl victory and will also chronicle Deflategate and its aftermath, Deadline reports.

Tom Brady has had plenty to celebrate in his career, and his story will be the subject of both a book and a movie, Deadline reported Wednesday. EPA

The project will pair writers Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, who were nominated for an Oscar for “The Fighter,” author Casey Sherman and Boston journalist Dave Wedge, according to Deadline.

Sherman and Wedge were co-authors of “Boston Strong,” which was used as the basis for “Patriots Day,” for which Tamasy and Johnson were executive producers.

Deadline reports the writers have sources with the team who will provide insight as to what went on behind the scenes during Super Bowl LI, as the Patriots launched a furious comeback to post a 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Brady isn’t the only member of the Patriots whose story will be heading to the big screen. The Hollywood Reporter said cornerback Malcolm Butler’s story will be turned into a movie entitled “The Secondary,” which will chronicle his rise from working in a fast-food restaurant to having two Super Bowl rings.

Looking back at Arsenal's worst losses in European competition

It was a gutless display, but nobody was surprised.

On Wednesday, Arsenal was thrashed 5-1 at the Allianz Arena for the second time in two visits, putting the Gunners on the verge of exiting the Champions League in the Round of 16 for the seventh year running. Arsene Wenger’s side was torn apart by Bayern Munich in the second half, conceding three goals in a 10-minute assault and exhibiting its lack of heart and spine.

Seasoned supporters of Arsenal were injected with a disheartening sense of deja vu, as the four-goal loss matched the Gunners’ worst defeat in European competition and echoed their recent escapades in the Champions League.

Here are two of Arsenal’s other vulnerable nights in European football:

Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal, November 2015

In a trip to the Allianz Arena that looked just like Wednesday’s, Arsenal felt the full force of Bayern during the 2014-15 Champions League’s group stage. The Gunners travelled with a harsh injury list, as Laurent Koscielny was unable to play due to a bothersome hip and Hector Bellerin had an ailment of his own. But the wounds were no excuse for such an emphatic deficit.

Bayern scored three times in the first half, playing irresistible football to make Petr Cech’s night a living hell. Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, and David Alaba all found the back of the net before the interval, and the drubbing only got worse from there.

Since Arsenal was taking on Bayern in the group stage, however, the beating didn’t eliminate the Gunners or put them on the brink of elimination. Instead, it meant Wenger’s side had to win its final two matches and hope Olympiacos lost its two games in order to progress. And that’s exactly what happened.

AC Milan 4-0 Arsenal, February 2012

Prior to kick-off, Arsenal’s supporters piled litter in front of the Duomo di Milano in Milan, Italy. The Gunners’ players then piled garbage on the pitch at the San Siro.

In the 2011-12 Champions League’s Round of 16, Arsenal was hammered 4-0 by AC Milan and lucky not to lose by six, seven, or more. The Rossoneri were excellent, but the Gunners’ performance came under immense criticism. After Koscielny was lost in the 44th minute due to a knee injury, the back four of Bacary Sagna, Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou, and Kieran Gibbs couldn’t hold a line and gifted Massimiliano Allegri’s side with acres of space.

By the final whistle, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Robinho, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic had put the tie out of reach. A 3-0 victory for Arsenal in the second leg just felt cruel.
