What Brady Quinn Really Thinks About Tim Tebow
June 25th, 2010 . by adamnYou know what is often boring? For the most part, boring is the public comments made by public figures when asked a question. You know, when they want to “tow the company line”, or avoid controversy. Like when a big-name athlete speaks in the same old tired cliches like, “We’re just here to work hard, and play our best.” When you know they are not saying what they really think. Like when Tom Osborne won’t admit that he wished every single dollar of Texas’s Big 12 contract could be shoved up Bill Powers’ ass. Utterly disappointing.
The media asks the juicy questions. The public figures give us the “politically correct” answers. The media springs the trap, but the big-name doesn’t take the bait. That is the never-ending cycle.
Former Domer, and Denver Bronco Brady Quinn took part in this cycle recently when asked about new teammate Tim Tebow. (Or, they guy trying to take the job Brady’s job, probably ensuring that Quinn will never be a starter in the NFL.)
When asked about Tebow, Quinn said:
“I think there are a lot of schools of thought on what will end up happening with him, moving forward in his NFL career. But he’s a good, quality, character guy, and those are the type of guys you want on your team.” …
Nice, but I’m sure that’s not want Brady really thinks, or what he wanted to say. If you could get the truth about what Brady really thinks when he hears the name “Tebow”, perhaps it would go something like this:
“We all know Tim is a good Christian, but if Jesus loves everyone so much, why didn’t he give Tim a release like a real NFL quarterback?”
“Tim has the best arm of any fullback I ever saw.”
“NFL quarterback? What about presidential speech-writer?”
Yeah, that sounds more like it.
