Brady Quinn only likes some Jake Gyllenhaal movies

This has been pretty much on every blog imaginable. But on the off chance this is the only one you read, let us take you to the story that has surfaced re: Brady Quinn (from the Cleveland Plain Dealer):
Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn was part of a group of men shouting insults at gay passers-by outside a Columbus bar early on New Year’s Day, according to a 9-1-1 call made to police.
The call at 2:35 a.m. came from Seth Harris, who reported that he encountered the group in front of La Fogata Grill at 790 North High St. The Mexican restaurant is next door to the Union Café Bar + Food, one of Columbus’ most popular gay bars in the gay-friendly Short North neighborhood.
On the 9-1-1 call, Harris said that “Brady Quinn from the Browns” was “trying to cause a fight.” Harris told the operator, “I just walked outside and he exchanged many profanities with me and called me a faggot, of course.”
Reached Monday by The Plain Dealer, Harris confirmed that Quinn was the person who used the slur.
We imagine jersey sales might take a tumble.

Derek Anderson just got a little more leverage…
two things grab me in the Brady story a) The offended guy said Quinn was with a “big group” of friends …. and that the quarterback “wasn’t as involved as” others ….. “He was standing back and letting his friends do most of it,” Harris (the offended guy) said. ……which brings up the question if “letting his friends do it” is something that could really be observed. In other words, there is a real odor to this story even while not doubting that these Brady clowns got all anti-gay but “letting them” imples Brady had control of his friends which he probably didn’t …but b) is more important and that’s assuming I would be that interested in anything Cleveland that I would offer up some bio to read more of their paper. Dream on Cleveland. You are the real flyover land…

You forget that Rick Santorum buys his jerseys in bulk.
I don’t get it, but I’m seen it forever even in college, but put down a bunch of pitchers in front of football players and that kind of hate can pour out. Hate crime laws now do something but racial slurs still fly. I don’t think anyone knows why, but mix team and peer pressure with alcohol and sh.t happens and always will. This wouldn’t have even been news if a “celebrity” wasn’t involved…
F*** Notre Dame
How many gay guys buy football jerseys?
Also, by including Quinn, the offended guy can include him in a lawsuit, I’m guessing.
rough, I\’ve seen the same stuff at UW, UM even small colleges like Stout. Tough guys for some reason get wigged out by gays. Probably many people do for their own very varied reasons but when in a pack of wasted friends the boundaries of society melt and these guys (and I\’ve seen women too) mouth off with their anti-gay crappola. But it\’s not just Notre Dame. Hate them because they are on tv so often even when they suck, but their Neanderthals are no different than ours..
scag - Any idea how dumb you sound? Not even P3 says stuff like that.
Your comment was pretty intelligent too, there.
Does the East have any chance this year? I don’t really think Boston has much chance in the playoffs. As much as I love KG, he just isn’t able to unleash the fury at the end of games or in the playoffs, save for the one Kings game.
Sorry, I was mocking Dana Jacobson. Not dragging my knuckles on the ground. Also, I’m sorry if homophobia bothers me.
Yeah, I totally want to buy the jersey of someone who acts that way. It would be like buying Duke Lacrosse t-shirts when everyone thought they actually did all of the things they were accused of.
Let’s be honest, gay men not only get to watch football played at its highest level, but oogle the football players. It’s probably like watching women’s tennis for straight guys/non-traditional women. Why wouldn’t they buy jerseys?
To scag’s point, if you believe the stereotypes, most gay men would not be caught dead in oversized polyester tunics (much less in brown and orange, which is only slightly less offensive than Virginia Tech’s combination of maroon and orange. Ugh.)
If you believe the stereotype, then Esera Tuaolo would have played shirtless.
Lame, all that coding just to get moderated…I’m not even going to attempt to figure out what word(s) caused that. You’ll all just have to wonder what off-topic commentary I had to offer.
Dave - Did it involve a 9-iron, ice cubes and stuffed buffalo?
You were linking to Prison Dave, weren’t you?
It’s Prison Mike, idiot. Gah!
Oim Pwison Dave, dis is da best “pwrisoner awksent” I can dew.
/It’s hard to spell things how you intend for them to sound.
Roughkat: It did involve those things, except it was a pitching wedge…
No wonder you got moderated. You never do that.
I’m telling the boss!
BOSS!
BOOOOSS!
I was right in the middle of drawing the big veiny masterpiece.
Some problems with the Brady Quinn story:
I would think that his not playing for his hometown Big Ten Powerhouse (yes, the powerhouse thing is what gives Michael Floyd his out) would make him unpopular on the homefront. And knowing Columbus, the gay friendly part of town is the only nightlife that doesn’t feature frat bars in strip malls with sorority girls singing karaoke to Matchbox Twenty songs (a Randball dream) and 24 hour Wendys drive thru’s. What was he doing in the gay friendly part of town when he could’ve been grabbing as much girls gone wild tail as he wanted? Instead he tells his posse “let’s go gay bashing”? Makes no sense.
Also why isn’t an adult member of a Cleveland pro football team not hanging at Cleveland strip clubs with his adult teammates, instead of a group of OSU frat boys?
Here’s the biggest problem:
Who really believes Brady Quinn has any friends?
Say what you will about Brady Quinn. None of this changes the fact that Tom Brady is the most handsome athlete of his time.

And Rand said baby,
It’s 3 AM I must be lonely.
Rand’s not crazy,
He’s just a little unwell.
