[Translate] This video of Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn’s Pro Day workout reveals a player who can make a throw from various steps — 3, 5, 7 — and roll-out. But according to the clip, some scouts questioned his arm strength. I’m not personally sold on the idea of a strong-armed quarterback. I’m more interested in “guts” under pressure, and football intellect, and Brady Quinn certainly has that. Here’s the video: ...

[Translate] Well, I guess the truth hurts. You can tell when someone’s upset because they respond to a comment. In this case, Fox Television, the American Idol producers are not happy that The View’s Rosie O’Donnell called their show’s treatment of former contestant Frenchie Davis racist, in that in 2003 they booted her from the show for the same exhibitionist behavior that Antonella Barba has shown and yet is still retained in 2007. ...

In either case, the yank job that “Idol” did to Frenchie...
