Especially when you have no idea what you are talking about. I wasn't aware that Weis was supposed to give you the inside scoop on the QB derby. Maybe he already knows, did you ever consider that?<BR/>In regards to Quinn, NFL players have very little interms of guarantees other than signing bonuses. Injuries are very real possibilities, and you would be the first to mock Quinn if he got injured after signing a less than stellar contract. Why don't you give equal time to the other "douchebags" that haven't signed. Yes, I am an ND fan, but don't let that cloud the issue, or your (doubtful) response.tfboy23https://www.blogger.com/profile/16967084601842561589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-14697125819329742752007-08-08T01:10:00.000-04:002007-08-08T01:10:00.000-04:00Damn it...one day too late, I was at the game yest...Damn it...one day too late, I was at the game yesterday.

For that we're all grateful, even though we all do give Dan a hard time for the shameless self-promotion. That being said, I think it's actually a good thing that we catch him on some errors, as it hopefully keeps him sharp. I'm sure he must've had an editor at the dot com who checked some things for him, so I can't fault him too much. <BR/><BR/>As per my comment about Dan making more comments, that would be mostly just to chime in on any interesting threads that the comments section have raised that might not be addressed in the Quickie, or to defend his point when people ask why he thinks Brady Quinn is a douchebag (it's totally the hair by the way).ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-9973313367267812292007-08-07T15:22:00.000-04:002007-08-07T15:22:00.000-04:00Hey at least Dan speaks the truth Quinn is a D-Bag...Hey at least Dan speaks the truth Quinn is a D-BagCMFosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291296862033162143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-7736181590089599192007-08-07T15:21:00.000-04:002007-08-07T15:21:00.000-04:00Quinn signed with the Browns.

Try doing anything and not getting paid for it and see if you put everything into it. We should all be thankful that he gives us a forum to discuss the current sports issues of the day as well as other issues. To me I read the quickie more as a guideline for the discussion in the comment section. And for anyone who as been with us since his days at ESPN you know that there a certain things Dan is always going to bring to the table.<BR/><BR/>So cut the guy a break, just think when the quickie ended Dan did not have to start this blog, he could of just disappeared and did something else.CMFosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291296862033162143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-52633982894652682622007-08-07T14:13:00.000-04:002007-08-07T14:13:00.000-04:00Even the guaranteed money I don't think is too far...Even the guaranteed money I don't think is too far off. The 21st pick I believe got 8 million, the 23rd pick 7.1 million. (according to the article in the Cleveland Paper I quoted yesterday) So it falls in the range with possible a small bump for a QB premium.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested to see if he'll play in the first preseason game, which I believe is against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are not playing Dwayne Bowe in the first game (reported yesterday on the local KC radio station).jhawkjjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297634924511036895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-75117152223564827932007-08-07T13:48:00.000-04:002007-08-07T13:48:00.000-04:00That contract doesn't seem that out of line other ...That contract doesn't seem that out of line other than the Guaranteed money.

To me, the quality of the blog has dropped and the amount of incorrect basic facts has increased. Also calling Quinn a d-bag because he hasn't signed yet (despite the fact several others haven't signed) without getting into why he hasn't signed (with the facts to back it up) is just an example of things that have happened more recently that didn't happen before. <BR/><BR/>If you're going to consider yourself and market yourself as part of the blogger world (such as in guest columns in various publications) then put the effort into it. Maybe its not a lack of effort but something else, but to me the quality has dropped. That's how this is different than the thousands of other blogs you come across.jhawkjjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297634924511036895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-4840011346424997032007-08-07T13:26:00.000-04:002007-08-07T13:26:00.000-04:00Thanks for jinxing my Cubbies Dan!Thanks for jinxing my Cubbies Dan!chitown italianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005966579859344446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-45487712543879739312007-08-07T13:14:00.000-04:002007-08-07T13:14:00.000-04:00Off the beaten path, but still...I know this seems...<A HREF="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20155039?GT1=10252" REL="nofollow">Off the beaten path</A>, but still...<BR/><BR/>I know this seems like a good reason to halt any travel, let alone German soccer fans' travel.Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478232002387175988noreply@blogger.com
