I think the way Profootball Talk has exaggerated this non story is the poorest example of journalism that one could imagine. This is a good example of defamation of a character and stirring up negative attention by taking something out of context.

If I were an athlete I would steer clear of this interviewer and anyone related to ProFootbal who are maximizing something to the detriment of Brady Quinn.

Has anyone thought to write about what a great teammate he is and how dedicated he is even when not given a chance to play his entire time there despite doing well in Preseason.

This was sensationalized because it involved Tebow. It is disgusting and now is all over ESPN, Sports Illustrated etc etc.

Why not have Brady on instead or with the author. Or are you trying to exaggerate the story even more by having Silver on ,on Friday.

Too many athletes think “My words were taken out of context” means “I wish I hadn’t said that”.

Comments taken out of context to generate attention during a slow news cycle! This site knows a thing or two about that!

It makes it easier for them when people read the headlines and form their opinion before reading the articles. Or sometimes forego the whole article thing altogether and just read the headlines.

How about we hear the audio. Tone of voice can be taken out of context.

BTW:Silver is a Grade A Douche.

So if Quinn was asked to list a few good things and a few bad things about Tebow, and they decided to just post and talk about the bad things he listed, that’s not taking it out of context?

Quinn: “You got that on tape?”
reporter: “Yes.”
Quinn: “I hate it when that happens.”

I commented yesterday that the conversations for big publications like GQ are always taped. But it did not make it through the approval police.

It’s funny that any of you blame Silver for what Quinn chose to say in an on the record interview! Look, Quinn did get shafted because the Broncos season looked to be doomed and a vocal minority of fans wanted Tebow. So, even though Elway thinks Tebow sucks, he let Foxy throw him out there.

Funny problem is that the D got better and a string of luck hit the Broncos in the eye. Of course Quinn was resentful!

Ok packerhater and all of you other Packer bashers. Here’s another reason to hate Quinn and his comments.

He’s A.J. Hawk’s brother-in-law.

I’m not a big fan of Silver’s style, but Quinn has only himself to blame here. Quinn clearly wanted to unburden himself, and like any good journalist, Silver knew how to get him talking. For a smart guy, Quinn made a dumb move, one that may hurt him as he tries to find himself a new team this off-season. (First rule for backup QBs – be a good team guy, and don’t be a distraction. Second rule – see the first rule.)

I must have read a different article. Nothing Quinn said about Tebow’s performance on the field was false, for anyone with common sense and a real perspective on Tebow. Several (or more) wins were luck. The defense carried the team. God has better things to do than determine the outcome of football games. However, a big difference between Tebow and Orton is that we know Orton rarely played well in the fourth quarter from behind. Tebow was unafraid (and wanted) the ball in his hands when it really counted. Right now, Tebow pretty much sucks as a quarterback. But if he can get good off-season training, maybe he has a chance to be good. At least he doesn’t choke in the fourth quarter nearly as much as Orton did. But I also wouldn’t turn down Andrew Luck or RGIII if a miracle happened akin to the Elway trade all those years ago. So, God, if you really do mess with the outcome of football games, then maybe you could work something out for that to happen.

Tim Tebow has never pushed Religion. He simply practices Spirituality. There is a difference, look it up.

Why did he wait 3 months to release the interview? Oh, because that is when GQ needed an article from him so he dusted off the old recorder to find what was on it. If it was a non story at the time, it is a non story now.

This was obviously a setup. Who the hell cares what a guy who hasn’t played in years says? Silver just wanted him to bad mouth Tebow. Dumb cat. Like a politician, he never said those things. Gotcha, Brady. You’re on tape, idiot!

“Listen to the fans and you’ll soon be sitting with them” is great advice and the Bronco’s are in a real mess because did just that.

However, ANYTHING that jackass Silver says is most likely bullcrap.

How Silver got his job and why anybody listens to him, I have no idea.

Get out of the spotlight, get in the workout room and film room, and get with a team – there are plenty of teams that are a concussion away from disaster – you could still be a decent back-up.

Move on from this, Q.

I dunno guys, I agree that Silver has a reputation for being a snake, but simply taking his side because he taped the conversation I think is foolish.

People don’t trust the guy anymore…. he is reviled within the league and there is a reason tha tthe only guys he can get to sit with him for an interview are guys like Brady Quinn.

Can we reverse the trade for Peyton Hillis and send him back to Cleveland?

That would serve him right, having to play in the place where quarterbacks go to die.

I am not a fan of either Quinn or Tebow. Quinn has shown in the past few years that he has absolutely no potential as a starter, where Tebow has proven that he will do whatever it takes to improve his game and that one day he just may earn the right to be the undisputed starter of some N.F.L. team. Quinn should learn to keep his mouth shut and cherish his backup role before he ends up throwing passes to T.O. In Canada (another guy who couldn’t keep his mouth shut)!
