Truly Ridiculous

After posting my thoughts on Trent Dilfer, digesting the Brady Quinn news, and interval training on a treadmill at the local YMCA last night, I sat down to further investigate the Allen Iverson for Ba - Ba - Ba - Billups deal that went down yesterday.

I went to ESPN.com, and then clicked on Henry Abbott's True Hoop Column.

I read the article and was stunned by the dot connection made by Abbott:

(The Detroit Pistons) - (Billups + McDyess + some guy I have never heard of) + (Allen Iverson) = (Chris Bosh and LeBron James)

What??? I didn't know what to say. Luckily my friend at Random Thoughts did when he said "this is just getting stupid."

Agreed Ben...this is certainly gettting stupid.

To me, Henry Abbott sounds like the sports talk radio 'I gotta trade for you' caller with this one. He reminds me of the guy that calls Uncle Rizz, waits on hold, and tells him on the air that he thinks the Cavs should trade Eric Snow, Sasha Pavlovic, Lorenzen Wright and the rights to Cedric Henderson for Andrew Bynum and Kobe Bryant.

C'mon Hank, your better than that.

Trent Dilfer Is a Hater

Trent "Scoop" Dilfer was just on Kenny Roda's show talking about breaking the Brady for DA story.

Trent Dilfer called Browns Fans "the most influential fans in the NFL" as well as "delusional" and said they "don't understand that it takes time to build a winner." He said that he understands the impact that the Browns fans have over the organization, and that he himself was "victimized" by the Browns fans during his time here. He went on to call the Brady Quinn move a "knee jerk re-action," and that it was typical behavior for a dysfunctional franchise to make moves like this to quell popular opinion.

My question to you, Mr. Worst QB to ever win a Superbowl, is what is your point?

Its not called influence its called passion.

Its not delusion, its exhaustion - 44 years of exhaustion.

You say you were victimized? I'll just say this, you have to be pretty bad to be in the discussion to be benched for Charlie Frye, let alone to actually be benched for Charlie Frye. And if you were so good, why didn't you ever start again?

Lastly, its not a knee-jerk reaction...that is a ridiculous statement. The guy has one of the lowest passer ratings in the NFL, has all year, he started 0-3, and at the mid-way point they are 3-5. Knee - Jerk? No that's trading your starting QB in week (2) for a 6th rounder.

Its not personal its just business Son--, I mean Trent. Just report the story pal, take your scarred emotions out of it.

Maybe its just as simple as Brady Quinn will do a better job at quarterback. Maybe that's all it is.
