Brady Quinn endorses McCain
by Mosheh Oinounou

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn and Left Tackle Joe Thomas endorsed the GOP nominee during a McCain-Palin joint rally outside Cleveland Wednesday.

Palin introduced the surprise endorsers at the end her speech today to cheers from the more than 2,000 supporters in the crowd.

Quinn introduced McCain and spoke briefly about how his service to the nation and time as a POW inspired him because he kept “fighting for freedom.”

“Too often times we label people heroes and get caught up in the moment but tonight we have a real hero amongst us,” Quinn said. “This is a man who endured great adversity yet remained loyal to his nation, a man who would not forsake his country…we need heroes like this to inspire us and to remind us that we are the greatest nation.”

He added that, “to me, Senator McCain embodies the American spirit which is a lifetime of patriotism and service to this country, first in the military and then in the Senate.”

He's a bust as an NFL QB.

a "bust" as a NFL Quarterback...

He is an ass hole, I'll grant you that, but you can't say one way or another he is a bust until he is given the starting job...

And the fact the Browns elected to KEEP Anderson this off-season when they could have gotten some value from him in a trade speaks volumes about Quinn's progression.

Then, in an open camp, he got beat out by Anderson again. The Browns are terrible. I'm having trouble figuring out why Crennel is waiting to get this supposed franchise QB get on the field.

Romeo made it pretty clear that Anderson was going to be the QB out of loyalty. Watch, Quinn will be in very shortly.

I'll be rooting that much harder for the pass rush on Monday night. Rumors are he will get some playing time.

Because all he'll be doing Monday night is carrying a clipboard.

probably nothing to it.

Arn't the Browns starting Quinn?

I thought I heard that somewhere.

for me to really give a shit about what he thinks.

But then - he's still a bench warmer...

Our quarterback is a big ol' bald Rethug whose sister-in-law is the dimwit on the view. I prefer my players with their damn mouths shut.

Stupid fucktard.

The real smart football players tend to be offensive linemen. At least according to the Wonderlich Test administered by the NFL to draft prospects.

If he was stupid, that would complete the Republican trifecta.

Fail.

Browns' Brady Quinn allegedly involved in anti-gay confrontation in Columbus

Columbus -- 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...

So this doesn't surprise me in the least.

I was a lukewarm fan of the browns for a long time...

Now, fuck it...

Why should I support a team that is populated with elitists...

There was an article on this way back in '04 and it talked about how many NFL players were Bush supporters. Might as well root for the one you like, because there probably isn't a safe team in the League.

The Redskins had played a game before election day. Supposedly how the Redskins play before the Presidential election indicates the winner of the Presidential race. Mark Malone and Kevin Greene were doing the story on this phenomenon and Greene mentioned that if this proves true that * would win the election, all with a big smile and thumbs up.

Fuck you Kevin Greene.

Look, these guys are all privileged, set on a pedestal since they started to excel. They have everything handed to them. That's why they can relate to the upper echelon of the GOP...

most of them have the good sense to keep their mouths shut.

The article I mentioned elsewhere from '04 polled 10 teams players and found that most of them were Bush voters. :shrug:

Why would they differ from the rest of the AA population?

Many players were certainly big Bush supporters in '04, including some black players on the Patriots. Surprised the fuck out of me, but there ya go. :shrug:

Most of the black players usually keep their mouths shut for some reason. The ones who speak out are Obama supporters.

And that's he's a Republican. :wow:

Hopefully, that's just one more anecdote that shows things might be far different now. Even they know Bush has fucked up the economy, and nothing affects a Repub like hitting their fat wallets. :)

But who knows. There were black Bush voters on the Patriots in '04.

and the working-class background of most of the players?

Obviously there are different factors at play in this election than in '04, but there plenty of players who supported Bush in the article I read, and the number was close to 3/4. I wish it had been an online article so I could share it.

For the record, I'm not trying to pick on the NFL. I bet many athletes making good money lean Right when things are going good economically. The theme in '04 was the "patriotism" angle (the war was still fairly popular then), which hopefully isn't playing so well this time.

With the AA players finally having a fellow AA to vote for and I can see why my number might not be right for '08, but it was for '04. The article didn't break it down by race, but many of the players were AA, including many on the Patriots. :mad:

Trust me, it made my head hurt reading it. :)

Not disputing your numbers. It just surprises me. For every preppie QB there are two black defensive tackles and linebackers who you would think come from what you would think would be Democratic households.

Strong players union, roughly 60% or more black players, lots of kids whose only way out of the streets was ball? Now if you said 2/3 of quarterbacks were Republicans I would agree, but quarterbacks aren't REAL football players anyway. They wear the red shirts and you aren't allowed to touch them in practice. Hmmmmm, on second thought, I bet closer to 90% of all quarterbacks are Republicans.

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

I'd agree with you. :)

I had to get that off of my chest.

Looks like my son won't be wanting me to buy him a Joe Thomas jersey anytime soon once he finds this out.

I'm not going to tell him about this...

He was SO thrilled when the Browns picked him. My son has some pictures of Joe clowning with the UW band during Fifth Quarter when Joe was a senior at UW. He said Joe was a really nice guy. (although it sounds now like he's not so smart) :(

LeBron to stump for Obama at Cleveland rally

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James and hip-hop entertainment mogul Russell Simmons plan to stump for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during a Saturday rally in Cleveland

Ohio?

to get his ass off the sidelines, and on the frontlines then. If he is so inspired by McSame why doesnt he follow the example of a real Patriot, Pat Tillman.

Pinhead.

Either way they're going to alienate a percentage of their fan base, what's the point? I'm going to dislike Brady Quinn for the balance of his career now. I just hope he doesn't get traded to the 49ers.

I know...

My brother is one of them.

...looks like an egotistical jerk, IMHO.

:-) I know this first hand, unfortunately. ;-) Let's just say; they are not 'Ball Park Franks'. :rofl:

:puffpiece:

:scared:

:rofl:

I use to work out at a gym when I was in my 20-30's, everyday, and I dated a few of those types. I was always disappointed...always. :-)

:cry:



















:rofl:

...proving that Mr. Quinn is a dipshit who came to us at a grossly inflated price. C'mon, kid, QB's are supposed to be able to THINK...

Brady Quinn's endorsement excites tens of people.

Tens.

Obama must immediately seek the endorsements of Jim Sorgi and Rex Grossman or all is lost. Seriesly.

So ya, pretty stupid for him to get involved in politics.

The NFL is notoriously lax in its enforcement of its drug policy.

on steroids, to which the term lax would be an understatement, or the NBA on pot, but for the last 20 or 30 years the NFL has had a model drug testing policy particularly on steroids. I'm not sure where you are getting that it is lax, not since back in the 70's anyway.

Can't get around it really. The NFL has a very strict policy on drug abuse.

while making love.

What a tool box.

Along with Lebron James!! :bounce:

And they invariably vote republican.

:shrug:

I thought I read that he supported Obama - I take back my WooooHoooo!!

Here's to Quinn :spank:

In Ohio. We need Ohio :(

...shouldn't he stick to endorsing Palin?

Anyway, the endorsement McCain was really seeking out was that of Dave Zastudil. (The punter.)

Trust me, my gaydar is well calibrated.

Brady Quinn sets off the gaydar for many people.
That might be because there was a gay dating site that used his image for some of their online advertising. (Not with his consent.)

jocks were always the most liberal and understanding people when I was in high school. I just couldn't imagine a jock being a pug.

no pun intended
