Vince Young to God: Don't Let Them Bench Me!
Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young has officially apologized to his teammates for that whole strip club fight, noting that he's praying to God ... not for forgiveness ... but in the hopes that the NFL Commish won't "come down hard" on him.
After practice today, Young said, "I just made a mistake, I made a mistake even being there and I let that guy provoke me into doing what I did ... I pray to God that Roger Goodell doesn't come down hard on me, because I definitely want to be here for my teammates."
As we previously reported, Young was cited for misdemeanor assault after punching some dude at a Dallas strip club early Sunday morning.

Vince Young Fight over Longhorn Smack Talk
The strip club brawl involving Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was all over two things -- the University of Texas and cash money, according to sources in the club.
Multiple sources who were inside Club Onyx tell TMZ the fight started when Vince went to take money out at the "cash cage." We're told Vince was complaining about a surcharge to withdraw money -- and that's when the manager got involved.
We're told the manager is from Oklahoma and flashed an upside down "hook 'em horns" hand signal and said "F**k the Longhorns" to Vince -- who, if you don't know, was a National Championship quarterback for the University of Texas Longhorns.
That's when Vince allegedly socked the manager in the face and had to be dragged out of the club, according to sources. Vince's reps haven't gotten back to us yet.
According to KDFW, Vince was issued a Class C assault citation today, which carries up to a $500 fine. The station aired this surveillance video of the incident.

Arquette Knocked on His Backside While Courtside
David Arquette went down hard at the Los Angeles Lakers game last night -- after he reportedly got in the middle of an altercation between security and a fan that ran onto the court.
According to reports, the fan rushed the hardwood after the Lakers put a serious hurtin' on the Phoenix Suns -- and Arquette attempted to play the part of peacemaker when someone knocked him on his ass.
Michael Roth -- one of the bigwigs at AEG, the company that operates Staples Center -- would only confirm that a fan rushed the court, and that they "approached [the fan] and asked him to leave and when he didn't want to leave, there was some force used."
Apparently, the force was strong with David Arquette.

Sam Champion Clash Over Tornado Coverage
"Good Morning America" weatherman Sam Champion made a cameo appearance on a local Oklahoma newscast this morning -- when he was caught bitching at a news crew on live TV.
It all went down near the crumbled remains of a local gas station that was knocked over when a tornado hit Oklahoma City yesterday. The crew from KOKH was doing a live shot at the scene, when Champion -- who was setting up to do a shot at the same gas station -- came into frame.
Champion -- clearly pissed that he was being shot by another crew -- started to bark orders to the KOKH crew to get "back" and then shoved his notebook in front of the camera to block the shot.
While the KOKH camera continued to broadcast live from the scene, Champion -- who was once again in the shot -- told the crew, "You know the deal." The KOKH cameraman can be heard saying, "What deal?"
Champion responds, "You know where you're supposed to be ... so be there. It's alright ... it's all good ... so just be there."
Generally, news crews don't shoot outside talent as a professional courtesy -- but it was a live shot at the scene of a disaster.
So the question is ...

Chyna Accused of Viciously Attacking Woman
TMZ has learned former WWE star Chyna has been named in connection with an LAPD battery investigation -- and the alleged victim claims Chyna got so violent, she thought she was going to die.
Law enforcement sources tell us the alleged incident went down Saturday night at a motel in Sherman Oaks, CA. Cops wouldn't release any details, but according to the accuser -- the whole thing was like a scene out of a bad wrestling skit.
The accuser, Gabriela Targos (pictured left), tells TMZ Chyna called her up to hang out at the motel Saturday -- but when Gabriela arrived, she claims Chyna immediately snapped and began attacking her for no reason.
Targos, who claims she's been friends with Chyna for years, says the former wrestler punched her in the face, dragged her by the hair, beat her with a wire hanger and threatened to kill her.
Gabriela claims she somehow managed to run out of the motel room, booked it down the street, and approached some cops who were eating dinner -- who then took a police report.
Gabriela claims she met with LAPD detectives Wednesday morning. So far, no arrests have been made.
Multiple attempts to reach Chyna for comment were unsuccessful.
