Home Team Puts Quinn Out Of His Misery

Posted Apr 29, 07 2:33 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Cleveland had the most active first day of the NFL draft, trading next year's first-round pick for Dallas's, at 22nd, and taking heralded pretty-boy Ohio native and Notre Dame signal caller Brady Quinn. This after the highly regarded, disturbingly photogenic prospect was publically rejected by 21 teams.

The offense-challenged Browns had already selected top-rated offensive lineman Joe Thomas at #3 overall.  Unlike Quinn, who attended the draft with his girlfriend, Thomas spent the day fishing with his father.  Said elated GM Phil Savage, "This is ... probably going to go down as the day the fortunes of the Browns turned around."

    Lions Could Be Historically Bad “Worst. Team. Ever.” Get ready, Detroit fans, “because the angle isn’t going away,” writes Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News. The Lions are used to losing, but yesterday’s embarrassing 47-10 thrashing on national TV surely represented a new low, making the Lions’ putridity common knowledge. “This was more pitiful than laughable,” says Wojinowski, and “unfortunately, there’s no end in sight.” More »
