It’s amazing, the power of words. For example, take Gene Menez’s description of the devastating precision with which Brady Quinn picked apart the Stanford defense this past weekend:

This was a typical Quinn-like effort: Attack different parts of the field, get multiple receivers involved (seven, in the case Saturday) and methodically move the ball downfield. The Watchman raised this question last year at this time and is wondering again: Has coach Charlie Weis made Quinn or does Quinn make Weis? I lean to the former.

So Brady Quinn goes and has the sort of game that makes NFL scouts purchase bibs for all their drooling, and Gene “Don’t I Look Cute In This Hat” Menez manages to describe it as “typical.” Sure, he said, “typical Quinn-like effort.” But you still see the connotation for which Gene “I Just Love Elton’s Latest Single” Menez was aiming.

Here’s some news for ya, Gene “Mmmmm. Don’t You Just Love These Appletinis?” Menez, the Heisman is supposed to go to the best college football player in the land, not the guy with the most ESPN-onic inducing highlights. Quinn’s becoming a QB that plays the game at another level. He could be playing in the NFL today, and Notre Dame fans should be thanking their lucky stars that he’s not. Quinn probably wont win the Heisman because people like you, Gene “Do You Think He’ll Like It If I Get Some Highlights?” Menez, don’t understand football enough to understand how good Quinn really is.
