In the latest twist to a saga that seems destined for divorce, Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young(notes) apologized to coach Jeff Fisher on Tuesday in a decidedly 21st century manner.
Fisher and Young aren't seeing eye to eye these days.

Never mind that Fisher wasn’t especially impressed by Young’s text message, saying that talking face-to-face “is a man thing.”
It’s tough to quarrel with Fisher’s logic, but perhaps the 52-year-old coach really is a bit out of touch with times. Imagine a world in which prominent NFL figures routinely apologized in 160 characters or less.
