ESPN - Brady Quinn

Did anybody else get tired of seeing his pretty face, and hearing Brady Quinn's name called out by ESPN during the draft on Saturday? Someone who didn't know better would have thought that ESPN had adopted Pretty Boy Quinn. I thought the whole spectacle of ESPN trying build this image of a pretty whiteboy, with his pretty girlfriend was sickening. This coming from another whiteboy. There was a reason why Pretty Boy Quinn fell so far in the draft. He won few meaningful big games while at Notre Dame. That idea seemed to escape ESPN, during the whole charade on Saturday. The only reason why Quinn was being mentioned in the same breath with JaMarcus Russell of Louisiann State for the number one pick, was because Pretty Boy started campaigning for the slot during the combines. If ESPN is going to help build images for insignificant white athletes, well then they better start returning the favors to African American athletes. Why didn't ESPN talk about the fall of Heisman Trophy winner, Troy Smith, all the way to the 5th round? ESPN performed the same act last year for another pretty whiteboy, what's his name? Oh yea, Matt Leinhart. Saturday, everytime Quinn's name did not come from the NFL Commissioner, ESPN cameras focused on the facial expressions and body langauage of Quinn. One would think that with the fall-out from the IMUS episode, that a major media outlet would more appropriately serve its viewers, instead of displaying constant frivolous and sensationalistic images. But, what do you expect from a major corporation that wants its viewers to pay money on its website for the privilege of reading a mock draft.
