Fighting in the locker room

From PFT:
BROWNS FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES?
Posted by Mike Florio on December 21, 2008, 1:34 p.m.
We got a tip this morning from a reader about a possible recent altercation in Cleveland. And so we started contacting some of our sources, and the current indication is that something indeed happened.
One source said that the rumor in the locker room is that one player hit another player with a weight, and that the player who was on the receiving end of said weight might have been quarterback Brady Quinn.
Weโre trying to track down more information. And, of course, now that the cat is out of the proverbial bag, others will be doing the same.

I blame that on Romeo too.
By leaving this dude in charge we are really f--king this team up .
2009-10 Browns Prediction: 8-8 -
whoever did this, unless it's a bona fide star, is likely gone. it'll be interesting to see what the fallout of this is. team chemistry always suffers when there's protracted losing, but this is ridiculous. hitting someone with a weight is cowardly and cheap.
why do i get the feeling it was shaun smith? somehow, this just has his name written all over it to me.
-
I would have to say Butch is way better than RAC. RAC and PS should be fired right away and let are bad OC Chud coach the last game and send him packing to. Who ever hit him with the weight is probably DA's boy that's mad that he is the QB of the future, or maybe RAC put a bounty on BQ. We all know he hates BQ. WHAT A JOKE.
-
shaun smith? makes since he loves romeo, they eat ribs together every tuesday night at damons.
Shaun smith was listed as inactive for this game, maybe there is something to this.

i don't who got hit with a weight, but whoever it was (unless it was Pontbriand, Dawson, or Zastudil) deserved it. It was butt cold out there today. i lasted three quarters-which is two more than most of the players on our team. i'm an idiot. Hit me with a weight.

Sean and his 'what up boss man' takes are so old

You're only joking, right? This is the kind of crap I expect of high school students and gang bangers...not professional athletes (keyword there being "professional")..
Yeah i was joking about whoever got hit deserved it. i wasn't joking that the players gave up after one quarter or that i'm an idiot for sitting in the cold to watch them.

Will the Cleveland TV/Radio/Print media report this or ignore/cover up the story as usual?

... and it's pretty clear that Crennel is getting fired and this is going to be Quinn's team.It's been in the newspaper and on TV for several weeks that Crennel is getting fired. That's not news. It's not Quinn's team. Whoever is named the Head Coach will annoint Quinn as the QB. That's a layup. A good coach will have him on a short leash- say 20 games. i think BQ will respond.
However, Quinn will not outlast the next HC.

it's only natural for players, especially defensive ones, to dislike a QB with a golden boy image, especially when those players support a coach that's clashing with said savior.
quinn also didn't win himself any support when he went to mccain's rally. while politics and race have nothing to do with the game itself, he definitely hurt his chemistry with some of the team by being outspoken.
that's not meant to start a political flame war, it's meant to be an objective statement of fact. don't discuss the actual politics behind the situation, just the way they affected it.
also, everyone's the same color when a team is winning.
last, crennel's an awful evaluator of talent, a horrible gameday coach and sticks with guys who aren't getting it done for far too long. he's a coordinator, not a head coach, and getting rid of him and installing a new regime to focus the team on football will do a lot to cure the ills that we're seeing right now.
when the guys are focused on football, the petty shit goes out the window.

(From Livingston today)
Dorsey was at the controls of Hurricanes team that won 34 games in a row before Ohio State's front four overpowered his previously sturdy offensive line in a stunning Fiesta Bowl upset.
He was surrounded by talent everywhere. He could hand the ball off to Willis McGahee, who had hocus-pocus moves and great speed. He could throw glorified handoffs to elusive Kellen Winslow Jr., before the broken leg suffered with the Browns trying to recover the onside kick, before the ravages of the motorcycle injury here, before the surgeries and the staph infections. He had Andre Johnson and Roscoe Parrish as wide receivers. He could unleash inclement elements that were the figurative equal of the real ones on any given Sunday at the lakefront. He was the calm eye of a perfect storm.
Brady Quinn, the Browns' back-up quarterback, who was knocked out of the starting lineup soon after his overdue ascension, was the other side of the same coin.
Notre Dame has fallen off the map in college football since he left. He might have slid in the draft until 22nd in the first round in 2007, but the rest of his teammates did not go higher than the third round. While six other Irish players were taken overall, only two were offensive players. Neither was a skill position player.
The inference is that Quinn made the players around him better, and that the players around Dorsey made him something he is not. That, it appears, would be a quarterback in the NFL.

Bruce Drennan reported tonight on STO that it was Quinn and Shaun Smith involved in the fight.
I hope Smith won since Quinn has a splint on his right hand to protect finger he had operated on.
If not Smith is a bigger girl than he showed on the field.
Bruce said Smith did not show up for his regular show on STO on Thursday and this may
have been the reason for to no-show.

I want to know more about why they were fighting. What is Quinn even doing in the locker room right now? Go take care of your hand and shit and leave the sucking on the field to the pros.

From Googleing around:
"Quinn took exception to the idiot's (Smith) commentary (from one of his STO spots) and they got into it. Just what we need: A scrub DL playing talking head instead of playing football. See you later Shawn...you suck anyway. Glad to see Quinn isn't going to take this crap from some non-performing piece of garbage. At least he is showing some character."
