Former NFL quarterback Vince Young admitted under oath that he probably signed at least some of the documents for a $1.9 million loan he now says he shouldn't have to repay.

Young, who has been out of football since he was cut by the Buffalo Bills before the start of the 2012 season, is fighting a $1.7 million judgment against him obtained by New York-based Pro Player Funding LLC last July after a payment was missed in May. The $1.877 million loan was taken out during the NFL lockout in May 2011 while Young was still under contract to the Tennessee Titans. The loan was due to be paid back in January at an annual interest rate of 20 percent, which could jump to 34 percent if Young missed a payment.

Initially built by NASA to set lines for the Las Vegas casinos in the late 1950s (who do you think funded the Apollo missions? The government? It was the mob ...), The Sin City Betbot 6000 calculated lines for more than 30 years. The Betbot was given various upgrades through the years, not always with the best equipment, but he was very good at setting lines and living the good life.

The Betbot was de-commissioned in 1990 after San Francisco destroyed Denver in the Super Bowl. The 45-point spread simply fried a number of the Betbot's wires and he retired. The Betbot was discovered by fantasysharks.com and retooled to give fantasy advice. He lives now to give his own unique, well cultured take on the NFL. The Sin City Betbot 6000 Presents is transcribed by Joe Petrizzi and Tom Walls because "typing ... BZZT ... is a dame's job."

Steven Spielberg is basically a good egg. I first met him while he was storyboarding the smash motion picture, Jaws . Spielberg had grand plans for that flick. A fully articulated mechanical shark which would be the star of the whole movie.

Things didn't go Spielberg's way, however. The shark they initially tried was a bust. It plain old didn't work. Spielberg called me to stand-in for the shark. They welded a fin to my skin, and shot me with very quick cuts. My screen time as the shark was greatly reduced. This was my idea. I said to Spielberg, "The mind, Stevie, the mind is the true theater of suspense!" Now ... BZZT ... I was incredibly drunk when I said that. I'm not 100 percent sure what I was talking about, but Spielberg took that to mean that the shark should hardly be shown, and that suspense is best built by caught breaths, good actors and a strong John Williams score.

Needless to say, the kid as right.

The Blu-Ray version of the film goes into the technical struggles Jaws had. I've asked that my part in the film not be mentioned, to keep the focus on Spielberg. But I feel damn good about my role in that film. Damn good, indeed.

NFC NOTES -- I've blasted both Mike Shanahan and Kyle Shanahan before. Deservedly so. But I got to say, I like what Kyle is doing to fit the Washington offense to Robert Griffin III's skill set. This is what all coaches should be doing. Instead, we find most coaches trying to jam round pegs into square holes by forcing their philosophies on personnel ill-suited to them. That said, the way Griffin III is playing makes me think that just about any offensive philosophy would suit...

Beat writer Kent Somers says the Cardinals' front office has not even discussed adding free agent QB Vince Young.

A Sunday morning report about the Cards working out Young proved erroneous. Somers says he's mentioned Young's name to people inside the organization before, "and the reaction has not been positive." Young hasn't found a sniff of interest since the Bills released him before Week 1.
