Laura Quinn Gives Us A Fiesta Of Pain

quinnlady.jpgThoughts while watching about three hundred shots of Brady Quinn's sister, Laura, during the Fiesta Bowl last night:

1. We kind of miss that TV show, Xena, Warrior Princess.
2. We thought A.J. Hawk was some sort of famous skateboarder. Apparently we're confused.
3. Brent Musberger is still alive? Wow.

You know, during her rounds on ESPN Cold Pizza and whatever other shows she was on over the past week, Laura Quinn should have been notified that her boyfriend and her brother would be on opposing teams in the same game. She seemed shocked by that fact on Monday, when Ohio State's Hawk spent more time cuddling Notre Dame quarterback Quinn on than he does, probably, on a typical night with Laura. We just wish Notre Dame's offensive line had done a better job of blocking, so that we didn't have to see so many cutaways of that awful half-and-half jersey.

Laura Quinn Is ... Um ... [NFL Spam]

  • Just the thought that somebody took time out of their lives to make that jersey is beyond me. What's worse is she probably thinks its the greatest, most clever thing in the history of mankind. Would like to see her naked, though.

  • Man, come on A.J., even Leinhart did better than that on his drunken rampage. Is she preggers, cause that would be the only reason she should be there.

  • See her naked? Shave her head and she would look like Braniac.

  • Taylor... if you wish to see Laura in her more popular uniform see below: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095088/posters

  • Not only is she ugly, she's a mouth-breather. In half the 2,000 shots of her last night, she stood there, jaws agape like the lost sister of Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel. (And, it should be noted, with an even uglier woman at her side, raising the question of who's the grenade.) AJ needs to elevate his off-field game to the level of his on-field game. I'll confess I've paid for worse, but I'm not a consensus All-American linebacker on a Top 5 team.

  • Three words: Close your mouth! She definitely has a bad case of Mickelsonitis. Am I the only one disappointed that they didn't show the trophy presentation?

  • I was only paying half-attention to the game, so I could be wayyyy off-base, but did anyone else hear the sideline reporter say that he was going to "hook-up" with Laura too? I suppose it was an innocent misunderstanding since "hook-up" probably means something different to a 65-year-old than to a 24-year-old, but Laura sounded horrified. Can anyone who Tivoed the game confirm this? It would have been in the second half.

  • Rusty, I heard it too. I think it was either The Brent or the color commentator whose name escapes me.

  • Yeah, I think it was Jack Arute that said something like "If I were A.J., I wouldn't want to hook up with her tonight." If I were A.J., though, I probably wouldn't want to hook up with her ever. Because she's not that attractive.

  • She is a very handsome woman.

  • Conversations with my wife: Me: "That's Brady Quinn's sister. She's dating the biggest hick on Ohio State." Her: "She looks just like Brady." Me: "I know." Her: "That's not a good thing." Me: "Well, at least she brought her slutty sorority. They're hugging a lot." On the plus side, Laura did give Brent Musberger something to talk about in the first half other than how fucking awesome Charlie Weiss/ Bill Parcells is. I lost track of all the nicknames after "The Guru" and "The Little Tuna". Weiss is as big as Parcells and that's after a gastric bypass.

  • Okay, you'll have to go back in your tivo, but during the first quarter - and it might have been in the first shot of Laura once the game started - there was an absolutely gorgeous woman standing behind Laura, with an absolutely gorgeous tight yellow shirt. In honor of the departed Oddjack, we were putting the over/under on that shirt at 34 1/2. Wow.

  • With every sack, was Hawk quick to remind Quinn "yeah, I nailed your sister harder than that"?

  • things i learned from watching laura quinn: a) america truly is the land of opportunity. for instance, take the person whose lifelong dream was to make that jersey. they succeeded, and so can we. b)if you are related to someone famous, date someone famous, or can trick people into thinking you are important, you have the right to as much airtime as possible. in fact, whatever airtime you're getting, its not enough. demand more! http://yankees-chick.blogspot.com

  • c) Link whoring helps with the land of opportunity thing.

  • If Weiss ever loses his dick in all that pooch fat, there's a pretty good chance it's in Musberger's mouth.

  • I've never particularly had a problem with Weis, except in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, when he pulled a trademark Patriots unnecessary tirade in response to an innocuous question. Andy Reid had said something about how he thinks Weis called most of the plays for new england, and the reporters relayed that to Weis. Weis then responded by insulting Reid, telling him to "shut his fat mouth," telling him to worry about his own problems, and calling him fat again. Considering that I've had to deal with at least 4 or 5 melodramatic reports on Weis' near-death following gastric bypass, I would have thought he might handle that situation with a little more dignity. Especially since Andy's a pretty respectful guy. But, whatever. Weis is a good coach, anyway.

  • Could Musberger hate Ohio State any more than he does? I can't believe they even let him do their games. He is the same way during Michigan games with Llllllllllloyd Carr. I think his mission in life is to stroke off every coach that plays against the Bucks. As for Miss Quinn, she's not too awful, but then again Hawk is not a good looking dude either.

  • I believe Laura may have passed Brenda Warner on the "most insignificant camera shots of a significant other" list.

  • Just as I thought I couldn't hate Cold Pizza anymore than what I already do, I find out from the guy who is the referee for the Woody/Skip 10 yard game or whatever (Jay?), that they themselves provided the jersey for her. Cold Pizza sponsored that jersey. And, Woodrow said they showed her 85 times last night, is this true?

  • Not that I know Brady Quinn's sister from a hole in the ground or even paid much attention to her yesterday, but the whole "insult the appearance of any average woman who appears on television" thing is REALLY getting old at this point. i'm not saying it only happens here; in fact, it happens almost everywhere. some girl who's perfectly acceptable looking shows up where we're used to only seeing the desperate housewives and apparently this offends our sense of normalcy so much we have to make rude remarks about her. it's tired and it's stupid, guys. i get it. she was on your screen and wasn't one of the cheerleaders or the seminole girl--so fuck her! ha! she has man-hands! she looks like chyna! actually, she doesn't really, but she's not fat, so we had to think of SOMETHING to make fun of! i notice no matter how nasty or ridiculous looking the average male is appearing on tv, this never happens to them. i don't see any posts on deadspin or anywhere else ridiculing the latest average male football fan who appeared on tv looking like a cat's asshole--but when it's an average-looking female...hell apparently hath no fury. just something to think about.

  • RJ3111 - Musberger always seems to hate whatever team you're pulling for - as a Michigan fan, I've always felt he loves the opposition, regardless of who it may be. It's quite a feat, and the only reason I can think of he still has a job is that we all hate him enough to talk about him. However, this entire season has been a Charlie Weis suck job, no matter which broadcaster/network/magazine you are perusing.

  • Well, you have a good point beth. I think most of the "I wouldn't hit that" comments are the same crowd that dates Rosy Palm or their sock. Then again, due to the wonders of the Internet we are all rich successful people who are 6'2" and 190 lbs and work out daily, and date only supermodels. I personally only date Supermodels who study Quantum Mechanics, as we fly around to fabulous locations on my private jet. etc. Saying that, I think she's a dorkus maximumus for the shirt fake celebrity thing.

  • Oh, and I get where you're coming from Beth (I'm a chick who is not a supermodel myself) but you gotta admit, those are some giant paws on Ms. Quinn. And her shirt sucks.

  • bmill525 - I'm sorry I've never noticed him hating on the Wolverines, maybe it's because i'm extremely biased and self righteous when it comes to the Bucks. :) I just have nothing good to say about that clown. And I kind of agree with both you ladies on the Laura Quinn thing. I personally didn't find her attractive and thought it was annoying how many times they put her on tv, but there is no need to tear her apart like this.

  • rj... nice sentiments and I too agree... don't rip her (and her Elvira look) RIP THE JERSEY

  • Thanks, Beth. I do think there's enough to make fun of here with her complete lack of importance in the grand scheme of things, not to mention that ridiculous shirt. No need to resort to pointing out her so-called physical hideosity. She looks pretty normal to me.

  • Beth - Um, sweetie, this is what is called humor. If we want to make fun of her appearance, then we will. If she turns out to be attractive as you say, it means that I have not understood the meaning of that word. In fact, I have been way off. Surprisingly, I don't watch as much Ellen or Oprah as you might think,so maybe she has a nice personality that I don't know about. Maybe I should have yelled "you go, girl!" the 85 times they showed her during the game. And yes, she has man hands. Feel free to leave me a comment. At least when you finish giving your Barbie a Rosie O'Donnel haircut, you sexy thing you. Moonshine Mike - Each man has his own tastes. Some of us like chicks that could "play" in the WWE, some don't. This chick looks like an unconvincing transvestite. Hey man, that's all you.

  • Todd, instead of flaming me again, you should spend some time thinking about your issues with women--the problem is all yours.

  • I would really, really like to know what my issues with women are. Seriously, this is a comment section. No one here is going to psychoanalyze themselves or bow to your annoying view of "what's wrong with men" to appease you. We simply have a difference of opinion. If you want to argue the media's degradation of women, fine, we can argue that, but don't tell me that I hate women if I make fun of someone because you're too dumb to make a lucid point.

  • OK, OK, enough, you folks. Tuesday's not a fine night for fighting. Nobody's dumb here. Well, OK, that jersey is dumb. Very, very dumb. Good Lord, dumb.

  • I can see where you're coming from, beth... but... i think that what's annoying us all about this laurie chick is that people have certain expectations when they are watching football (or any sport). they want to watch a game. if they must show cheerleaders in between, alright. but laurie has nothing to do with why anyone tuned in and is bringing nothing to the experience! she's just wasting space. that's not a jab at her appearance, just her being there. what annoys me is that the producers/cameramen/etc etc apparently thought she was important?! where are these people? and the person who made the jersey?! i'm sure we would make fun of them, too. i'm a gal as well, and i certainly wouldn't want anyone making fun of my appearance - although i'm sure there's plenty to make fun of (i kinda have manly feet...and i really hate painting my fingernails...among other things). however, if i were to find myself on the field during a bowl game i would be the first to say "please turn the camera back towards the 300lb man crushing the other 300lb man".

  • The idea that they showed her a zillion times is the problem. NOT what she looked like. From what I am reading, it seems that you GUYS are saying that it would be ok if she had on a tight white baby tank top and was, at least, more empiricaly attractive?? IMO - if she had nothing to do with throwing a fvckin football - I don't care if she was standing on the sidelines BUCK-NAKED they didnt need to show her that many times. And the jersey was ghey.

  • Well, she certainly has a large jaw on her doesn't she? Ah, therein lies your answer people. Chrome off of a trailer hitch. Enough said.

  • And, she's a communications major. We haven't seen the last of Ms. Flynn.

  • Well at least we all agree THE JERSEY SUCKED! What we need to see tonight at the Rose Bowl is Ms. Quinn running out at halftime and ripping that hideous jersey down the middle to show off a Vince Young jersey and announce she's having Young's baby

  • Andy Warhol had it right... "In the future, everybody in the world will be famous for 15 minutes."
