Brady Quinn Hits the NFL Combine
I'm sure some of you have been wondering what former Notre Dame Quarterback and Bruce Weber pin-up Brady Quinn has been up to since the college football season ended and he lost the Heisman. He's been preparing for the upcoming NFL draft and last week participated in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
The combine provides an opportunity for coaches, managers, and owners of pro teams to get a closer look at what they might be purchasing in the coming year. A football meat market, shall we say.
After this quick study, yeah, I think I'd let Brady play for our team.

I do not get the appeal - sorry guys.

He has a training blog on xbox.com. It's very bland, but if you're like me and don't know what to do with yourself when the season's over, it's at least something:

can I have that?
PLEEEEEZZZZZZZEEEEEE???!!??!!

I assume that Brady understands the budding icon creation within the gay community he's allowed himself to become? I hope this means a liberal, non-judgemental mind is behind that cute face?
Posted by: Jack | Mar 1, 2007 4:44:09 PM
I don't get the appeal either. Nice body, but I'd bury that face in a pillow.
He looks like a mannequin. Especially in the last picture.

Really nice! Is he gay?
Posted by: Ed | Mar 1, 2007 4:51:21 PM
The appeal is some of us like our men to look like boy-nextdoor fratboys, esp when they have the body Brady has. It doesn't hurt that he's always in football gear.
The point of making "i don't get the appeal" posts baffles me. Not everyone agrees on what is sexy. Obviously Andy like him, as do many others. I don't think you're going to keep Andy from posting pics of him anytime soon.
Posted by: nycredneck | Mar 1, 2007 4:55:33 PM
That wasn't the goal. I just don't find him attractive.
Posted by: Tread | Mar 1, 2007 4:59:07 PM
My point is NYCredneck is that I am free to post my opinion and that I do not understand the hype over this kid. I, and obviously others, do not find him attractive. And I am not looking for Andy to stop doing anything since I read his blog almost on the hour and I love it - regardless of what or whom he posts. I think you are probably baffled pretty easily.
Posted by: Derek | Mar 1, 2007 5:01:55 PM
Derek, I agree. He's cute and all - and the body is something else - but ... blah.
Posted by: the other jeff | Mar 1, 2007 5:05:44 PM
I for one, think he's hot. And I certainly would not throw him out of bed!
Posted by: whatever | Mar 1, 2007 5:24:34 PM
I don't care what he looks like. He played for Notre Dame, so he's instantly a loser and he's a shitty quarterback that's only gotten the press he has because he plays for the terminally overhyped Fightin' "except when it comes to Bowl games and then we lose 9 in a row" Irish. He doesn't have the arm or physical skills to make it in the NFL. Enjoy him while you can, Andy, because in 3 years he's going to be selling insurance or something.

There's nothing wrong with not finding Brady attractive, but why do you feel the need to say so? Are you upset that others see something you don't and you want validation for your opinion?
Different strokes, guys, geez.
Posted by: mark m | Mar 1, 2007 5:28:10 PM
Mark M., that's like asking why people feel compelled to swoon over pics. Everyone wants to be heard regardless. The detractors aren't necessarily drowning out the supporters of certain guys.
To each is own, indeed.
Freedom of speech is a GOOD thing. Embrace it.

i dont care what u think but it's hard to tpye with one hand heh

Swooning is so much more understandable than "meh"...
Swooning is an almost biological function that prompts you to action. Not finding someone attractive, should in theory mean that you simply pass it up.
But no.
Not here.
We can't simply keep scrolling, we have to question why others are attracted to someone we aren't. There's just something fishy going on with a pysche that must express negative thoughts rather than keeping them to himself.

He's a little too cro-magnon for my tastes and reminds me a little of Aaaarnold. It's not like this post is for anything but oogling you know.

This is the thing that I hate about this blog. Everything else is great except these entries. Almost all of these eye candy entries are of straight men. I wish there was more effort in finding pics of hot gay men. They are out there. They exist.
Posted by: Jack! | Mar 1, 2007 6:11:06 PM
Now I know who isn't attractive to Derek...
Thank you, my life is complete.
Posted by: Dan | Mar 1, 2007 6:11:55 PM
He's majorly cute with a hot bod. What's not to like..
Also, how about just appreciating pics of a hot guy? Why do you have to consider if he's gay or not? Just curious why the distinction has to be made...

Bitter, party of one, we have your table ready.
HH, you may not find him attractive, which is in the eye of the beholder, and you may not like Notre Dame, which is clear from your post, but he would not have made it in the top of the race for the Heisman, and being the number one seeded pick in the draft, if he was not a great player.
I have had the pleasure of seeing him play in South Bend, my nephew and niece both attend, and it is a great school, despite my strong dislike for most things related to the Catholic Church. What makes Brady stand out is not only his skills on the field, but his sense of team spirit. He is clearly not gay, but knows he has a following. Like most of my Irish Catholic family, his generation is far more accepting than mine or my parents.
I don't get the whole fanatic concept. I love sports, and while I am a Met fan, I'm happy to see the Yanks do well, or who ever wins a playoff. I understand what it means to compete, having run 12 marathons, and I know the love of sport. I wish those who say they do, while they just watch and play armchair critic, sat back a bit and chilled out.

Not having unlimited time on my hands, I'll just say that he's excellent boyfriend material. Keep up the excellent work bringing all the news and then some!
Posted by: John | Mar 1, 2007 6:53:53 PM
Why does it matter Greg? These pics are decided because someone is straight or not, that's why. All you have to do is look at gay porn. How much gay porn is packaged as straight men do this or that? Many. How much gay porn is packaged as gay men do this or that? Very few. So you have a LARGE number of gay men that fantasize about straight men because they are percieved as being more masculine. And that is what most gay men want, a masculine man. Look at gay personals. Many specifically say they want a "straight-acting" guy.
Yet you gay media that doesn't show those masculine gay men. So this cycle repeats itself generation after generation. Gay media DO NOT care about gay people instead their own profit margins. They do a great disservice to gay people.

Beautiful body. The face... not so much. On that, I agree with Derek and Tread.
Of course I'm glad this was posted. The body is a feast for the eyes and the photo of the "meat market" - showing him shirtless on stage with that whole audience staring at his ass - is fascinating.
I think some of us feel the need to say he's not attractive because he was introduced in the first paragraph as a "pin-up". I beg to differ with that classification. He's not ugly per se, I just don't consider him pin-up material.
