Deadspin
Because we're still a little taken aback by Michael Vick's press conference today — we imagine him using every prison phone call to dial Roger Goodell's office — we bring you lighter news to close the day. Brady Quinn has shaved his head.
It's rookie hazing.
"Just an involuntary haircut," Quinn said, referring to rookie hazing. "I don't know if it's ever been this short."
"Involuntary." We hope no pictures of the actual shaving surface, lest we see Brady giggling while Bret Michaels stands in the corner and weeps.
(Oh, and Hall of Fame voting will be discussed tomorrow.)

He's still ####...
Still doesn't explain the chest, arms and legs.

I believe that is known as burying the lede. Although I certainly do not begrudge it. No need for DUAN to be caught up in all this.
@♫ El-Hadji Diouf ♫: A little manscaping on his own never hurt.
Like a monkey ready to be shot into space...a space monkey
@chilltown: You know full well it will be on the first page or two, then it will get buried like everything else on DUAN...
@chilltown: READ: "I need a night to figure out what the hell happened and how I am going to fix it. Possibly by hacking my site's own vote totals to 'correct' the tallies for the Balls and February 1."
Prisons usually shear a man's head before leading him to the electric chair.
Judging by the status of the Browns' offensive line, it won't be long before Quinn is officially the next Dead Man Walking.
Still a yes.
Brady voluntarily shaved his nads though.
I don't remember this scene from G.I. Jane.
Still does not explain his leg and bikini wax.
You don't want to know what they did to Joe Thomas.
@12-inch Idongivafuck Sandwich: Keep an eye out for Will's secret message to DUANers giving us the web address for the real voting to ensure the induction of true HOFers like Kige and the ESPN memo.
So Brady Quinn is no longer the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and since I rock a similar hair style, I gotta say, I think it works for the man.
@UkraineNotWeak: Does it look like a "Q"? (Shifts)
How about now?
@Rory B. Bellows: The only problem with that thought is the number of quality contenders. How does one "fix" Lemme Know and 1 Feb without damaging the cases of Barbaro and The Memo? Is any really less worthy than the other?
If one of Lemme Know/1 Feb had gotten in, maybe it is a different story. Only Ned though makes it a different world.
On a side note, does Ned know he was even up for enshrinement? Was there ever an effort to get a video from him (or did I just miss it)
@TheVaingloriousKeithOlbermann: If Brady sees sponges coming for him in the next few days, he should run.
Haircut: Involuntary
Bending over for this picture: Totally voluntary.
@UkraineNotWeak: Brady voluntarily shaved the offensive line's nads though.
There you go.
Honestly, I don't know or care whether he's gay. But that joke was too easy.
Obviously, Brady's distraught because February 1, didn't hit the 75% threshold...
@chilltown: Those aren't sponges coming for him.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
@Jen P: Oh, you care. You care.
This makes me feel guilty for not trimming my pubes since July.
Holy - YES.
@metschick: yes for Deadspin Hall Of Fame or for sexytime?
@goathair: Did the picture remind you?
@goathair:
Too much information!!!
There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
@JB*: I say you let in any nominee that has an association with the WWL. There was obviously retribution going on. (We've all speculated about it so it must be true.) If that means that Lil' Sean gets mistakenly installed in the process, its a sacrifice I am willing to make for the cause of the Memo, the Balls and Feb. 1.
I think Barbaro was within .4 and gets in through the time honored tradition of "rounding up."
Shaving your pubes makes your johnson look bigger.
So I've heard.
It's the hair on his noggin? My bad.
@throwbot: Both.
@Rory B. Bellows: I can just picture poor Stuart Scott, sitting there voting "No" on "Lemme Know", for hours on end.
"Boo Ya - No!"
@chilltown:
(Oh, and we spent all of your college money on your father's
edible hockey puck idea)
More pancakes, honey?
@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: Then why do they squirt when you squeeze them? Oh.
What???? MotherFUCKer! Deadspin HOF balloting is CLOSED?!?! You all said I was a shoe-in after the ground-zero mow job. Why, I oughta.....
@JB*: and calling Pookie and Ray-Ray and all his cousins back home to vote "no."
this photo is perfect for photoshopping.
paging mr. twoeightnine. mr. twoeightnine, please come to the front desk.
/peewee herman.
Just an involuntary haircut
Lice is a bitch.
Hey, PFC Downey, how ya doin'?
How does one "fix" Lemme Know and 1 Feb without damaging the cases of Barbaro and The Memo?
The case of Barbaro? He's a horse, a dead fucking horse, the only case that he should be associated with is a nice leather one for my laptop.
@twoeightnine: That would probably be a pricey laptop case...
That hairline is retreating back like an overloaded passing pocket. What's the over-under on the amount of seasons it takes for Mista Quinn to look very similar to Mista Hasselbeck? I'd guess 3.
And shoes, I could really use another pair of horse-hair shoes. I had to toss my last pair because you can't repair them.
Haha...so the charter bus of the losers of the LLWS game (japan) caught on fire to the airport this morning...
Those guys just couldn't catch a break...
I am admiring your vidow's peak.
Why does the word "shorn" sound so inherently dirty?
It's also part of Brady Quinn's rookie hazing to put him on the Cleveland Browns roster.
I gave blood today because it's what Ned would have done.
@Becky_MI: Because it sounds like "porn"?
Or because it calls to mind Dr. Evil's line of there being nothing like a shorn scrotum?
Either way, both it and moist are just naughty.
God damn. Only Ned made it. What a bloodbath.
I feel empty, like the entire past year wasn't even memorable or something.
Officer Baileygates is that you or Hank Evans?
his mouth needs to be open just a little bit wider.
@Doxidan, Gentle Doxidan: Democracy dictates that you get the HOF you deserve.
I'm sure it's been said more than a few times in the recent past, but Deadspin should be an oligarchy.
"We must rebuild. But who will lead us in the rebuilding process? Man, it's got to be someone with the know-how and the elbow grease to lead us to a new land. No, not me and KG, we don't have the cognitive capacity to lead..."
@Doxidan, Gentle Doxidan:Its like the HoF got the opening-of-Saving-Private-Ryan treatment...
Well, at least Ned made it in--maybe he'll send Will/Deadspin/Cooke an e-mail of thanks so we'll know at least those votes werent in vain
