Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Brady Quinn's Unfortunate Circumstances" is my niece's favorite book.

@Chief Wahoo: Agreed. His decision making was still quite questionable at times, especially in that last game. I'd rather have the draft pick(s) and Quinn starting next year.

Actually what is ironic is that you call it "getting ass", but to each his own.

@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns:

dude, making fun of Brady f'n Quinn is PASSE. it's old. it's redundant. it's been done before. "gay" or "not gay". making fun of the next new big thing rookie to come into the pros makes you look like a dork. and stop "doing this" with the quotes. let's wait til the guy at least fuks up on a major level to start ripping into him like he "kills dogs" or dates "poptart wanna-be pop stars."

"have a GREAT day."

this is how you can tell a bad franchise:
2002: playoffs
2003: 5 - 11
2004: 4 - 12
2005: 6 - 10
2006: 4 - 12
2007: 10 - 6 and could have won their way into the playoffs, but now the vocal fans wanna ditch the starting quarterback for a rookie.

that 10 - 6 too much for you or something?

@Damit: calling guys who get way more ass than you...
Oh, you mean like:
Rock Hudson
George Michael
Tom Cruise
Rupert Everett
etc. etc. etc.

Don't confuse "good-looking enough to get tail" with "getting way more ass than you". Ask any woman...there are plenty of gay men that put straight men to shame in the looks department, but they're not banging chicks they're smoking pole. The argument that "Quinn is good-looking, has money and plays football so he's obviously not gay" has more holes in it than a bombed-out building in Baghdad.

calling guys who get way more ass than you gay seems kind of ironic. the guy played well enough at ND for pretty much everyone who knows anything about the draft to call him a 1st round pick. so he lost bowl games. and? football is a team sport last time i checked. Anderson resigning is probably the best thing that could happen to him right now, Quinn still gets paid and he gets all the time in the world to learn. lets be different here and poke dumb jokes at guys who deserve it.

@Damit: I will put my body and "easy on the eyes" status (at 36) up against Quinn any day. You don't have to be Golden Boy Quinn, or any NFL player, to measure up in that department. The bank account...he's got me there. But with age comes wisdom, and with the limited wisdom I've gained I've discovered that money is not the be-all-end-all of happiness or satisfaction, nor is 4 years at ND kicking ass on service academy teams while getting steamrolled by the real contenders.
