A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Congratulations are in order for the two players who clearly the best players on the Cleveland Browns roster, and have been so for three years running.
Joshua Cribbs, quite possible the most complete and dominant special teams player in the history of the NFL, and Joe Thomas, the Browns’ left tackle for the next decade, have both been named to the Pro Bowl, according to numerous reports.
I was browsing some Cleveland Browns news sites tonight, searching for information regarding the mysterious illness that is currently hindering Kellen Winslow (click the link above to find out more), and I stumbled across an interesting little bit of news: Brady Quinn recently spoke at a Republican rally for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
John McCain was in attendance (not sure about Palin), and Brady Quinn took the microphone briefly to make a few remarks. (There is no truth to the report that Brady held out for a better microphone, and that Derek Anderson then ste
pped in and wowed the crowd with surprisingly strong and deep remarks of his own, rendering Quinn useless on the sidelines. Nope, that was just a rumor).
According to Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Brady Quinn’s father is a Vietnam Veteran who has long been an admirer of John McCain’s. Brady was able to introduce his father to McCain while attending the event. Browns left tackle Joe Thomas also attended the McCain-Palin rally with Brady Quinn, but did not speak.
