Deadspin
With the news yesterday that the Browns are looking to sign Derek "Horse Balls" Anderson to long-term contract, we look ominously to a future that, sadly ... could be Brady Quinn-less.
Quinn could be sitting behind Anderson for a while now, which is fitting, since "sitting" is pretty much all he did all day during the NFL Draft. And it's looking like Quinn's contract holdout this year could be a historically awful decision.
Had Brady Quinn not held out and, instead, shown up at training camp on time, he (by all accounts) would have at least secured the backup role behind incumbent starter Charlie Frye. Because of the money owed to Quinn, the Browns surely would have let Anderson go and put their new golden boy in the backup role. Then, when they traded Frye after week one, Quinn would have been ideally placed to take over as the starter. Instead, he held out and while his agent haggled over escalator clauses and what amounted to about a $500,000 difference, Brady sat in Arizona and missed valuable time in which he could have been learning the offense.
Fortunately ... the man can dance. Kind of.
Brady Quinn Continues To Wait [Rumors And Rants]

Brady Quinn's Unfortunate Circumstances are still better than Brady Quinn's Unfortunate Circumcision.
As a Browns fan, I really want Quinn to get a shot. I think DA is massively overrated.
Cleveland Browns don't care about gay people.
/kanye in 2015, after he's come out the closet himself
Well he is still makes a great gay pirate . . . no one can ever take that away from him.
Todd McShay still likes Quinn's intangibles.
"OK, I've grabbed my crotch...now my workout is done..."
I wonder where I can get one those half-Anderson half-Quinn jerseys.
I sort of wonder, which recent Cleveland player has been in more gay porn movies: Brady Quinn or Kaz Tadano?
Male cheerleaders, Fingers in ass, Brady Quinn...We're having a very gay day.
Wally Pipp sympathizes.
Steve wonders what is wrong with waiting as back-up.
Anthony Quinn > Dr Quinn, Medicine Whore > Brady Quinn
That Wally Pipp was one helluva dancer.
*Steve Young.
Thank god. I glanced at this and thought it said "Brady Quinn's Unfortunate Circumcision".
That would NOT be the way to follow up the Jamboroo.
@Kid Canada: it still wouldn't top this guy's jersey.

I thought Matt Leinart sat in Arizona.
@Chief Wahoo:
"As a Cavs fan, I really want Danny Ferry to get a shot. I think Ron Harper is massively overrated."
Fixed.
Luckily, Quinn already knew Aaron Rodgers through his sister.
@Tebow2007: Brady Quinn's undershirt.
If only the Dolphins took Brady Quinn. Still would be 1-15, but faaaabulous!!
The best is his myoplex commercial where he slams one and says "now I'm done". Yeah riding the pine is hard work fruitcake.
@Chief Wahoo: Will you predict that Quinn will be the starting QB by the end of next season ?
/beating a dead horse
Isn't a problem with that scenario that the Browns wouldn't have traded Frye if they had only one backup (Quinn) as opposed to two (Quinn, Horseballs)?
Look on the bright side, Brady - now you can get around to delivering those subs.
If Quinn was the starter this year, 1-15 would have been a good season for the Browns.
I've heard that you can take a medication to get rid of the horse balls. Ask The Balls. He's a practicing urologist, right?
@racistmascot_inc: As a Cavs fan, I want a legit outside shooter, and Boozer to get cancer. I'd also like them to bring back the official Cavs Polka.

@ringitupwiththedongtea: You're forgetting the horribly underrated Ken Dorsey sir.
Steely McBeam wants Brady to know there is a position for him in Pitsburgh.
Do I need to rehash Quinn's totally bogus college career yet again?
Jesus Browns fans...get a grip. Y'all are like the Bears fan that works across the room for me who continues to insist that Grossman just hasn't been given enough chances. Quinn sucks, you're better off with Anderson.
At first, Brady Quinn thought the idea of "riding the pine" sounded kinda hot - until he found out what it really means.
Announcer: Brady Quinn wins this year's award for Most Endorsement Money For A Backup or Benchwarmer.
This is Brady's first award and first nomination, but we expect at least 2 more before he's mercifully traded away.
Atlanta needs a qb. Atlanta has a large gay community. Perfect match!
@ASox: but i dont wanna be a gay pirate
- jsein
It could get worse. Cade McNown could steal Brady's boyfriend.
@Chief Wahoo:
We can do what the Indians did when they were clogged with Burnitz and Giles and just trade them both. I think the NFL equivalent of a LOOGY is a punter, but who is the equivalent of Kevin Seitzer?
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: Well that Bears' fan is an idiot. But I must admit to thinking the Bears should go after Quinn.
@sir_pantsalot:
That position? Prone.
There are worse things than being a backup NFL quarterback. Like living in Cleveland for instance...
There's always work down at the Post Office.
Hell, Brady spent 3 years at ND thinking the center really really liked him. The bench of an NFL team is as close as he needs to be to playing.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns:
y'all? put the bourbon down, dont hate on a guy cuz he actually takes care of his body and is easier on the eyes than you. cuz all of us would absolutely hate to go to a famous institution and play football. and then get drafted and make millions. yeah, Brady Quinn, what a dumbass.
So I guess there's more to life than being ridicously gay looking.
Congratulations to Cleveland for spending 2008 and 2009 trying to recreate 2007. Could you please trade Quinn to the Giants to create a quarterback competition non pareil this August? Thanks!
@racistmascot_inc: Lou Boudreau.
Today.
@Chief Wahoo: As a Chiefs fan I will gladly take DA off your hands.
@Dany Heatley Speedwagon: The best thing about Cleveland? Leaving.
@matt_t: good point regarding the ATL, but surely the 49ers will be looking to replace Alex Smith after next year. I think Brady and his own personal Mecca will be glorious together.
I read the title and thought it was a circumcision story
/relieved
@Dany Heatley Speedwagon: Or living in the bustling polar metropolis that is Ottawa?
