Well, it’s better than Sexually Active Nubile Coed Residential Building, but not by much. ---

Well, I didn’t see _this_ coming. Brady Quinn: 8/9, 151 yards, three scores. In the first quarter. ---

I don’t get it. What are these plays that score 6 points and why are they followed by a field goal worth only one point? ---

Who was it that predicted a 56-3 victory for the Lions? ---

Now the Lions are doing it too. _Must_ be a scoreboard malfunction. ---

If Mangini keeps his job, I’m blaming Brady Quinn. ---

_slow gold clap for Matt Stafford_ Big balls, there. Big balls. Couldn’t see it, because it was blacked out, but I did hear it on the radio. ---

I thought he was saying “it’s dislocated”. It was his non-throwing shoulder anyway. One of the Saints DBs dislocated his shoulder in the first half of the Saints-Bucs game and needed to have it reset on the field. ---

We get the worst of all worlds today. We lost, so we’re gonna get possibly stuck with the #1 overall pick and there’s not even a meaningless win celebration, but we looked like there was life in the team so it’s going to refuel the “QUINN IS THE GREATEST QB EVER, JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE AND BY CHANCE I MEAN EXTEND HIS CONTRACT FOR 10 YEARS 100 MILLION” fanboy base and make it seem like Mangini may be turning things around or something when it was really just a fluke decent performance against another crappy team. ---

Quinn’s under contract for another year at least, isn’t he? You can give him a chance but not give him the contract just yet. ---

Yeah, I don’t think the team would actually do that. I’m just saying anytime I decide to talk Browns I’ll be swamped by people who’ve convinced themselves that Quinn is the greatest thing ever and are resistant to evidence to the contrary. ---

Well, FWIW, I thought it was really weird that people were already saying “the Browns need to draft another quarterback” this season. I don’t much care for Quinn, but I think 8 starts might have been a _bit_ early to write him off.
