America's new fun, flexible couple: Brady Quinn and Alicia Sacramone
Nov 24, 2009, 12:03 PM EDT
It’s official: Olympic gymnast Alicia Sacramone is dating Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn. I sensed this yesterday, when I felt a great disturbance in The Force; as if millions of Brady Quinn-is-gay jokes cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Sacramone made this revelation during an interview with U.S. Gymnastics, where she got through the entire thing without crying. She’s currently in training to make a comeback (for the 2010 Visa Championships), and Quinn is currently starting for the Browns, doing his best not to fall off the balance beam, as it were.
Rams starting QB Kyle Boller is dating former Miss California Carrie Prejean, and I don’t know why this ran through my head, but Sacramone could totally kick Prejean’s ass, couldn’t she? it would be total devastation. Do the Rams play the Browns? Sadly no.
Here are the fateful quotes:
USA Gymnastics: I hear you’ve been attending a lot of Cleveland Browns football games lately. Can you talk about that?
Alicia: Yes, I have become a football fan. I was always a football fan but never into it too much until now. I’m dating Brady Quinn (the quarterback for Cleveland) so I travel to Cleveland on Sunday afternoons for home games.
USA Gymnastics: Has Brady visited you at the gym?
Alicia: No, but he said he’s excited to come to a gymnastics meet.
USA Gymnastics: How did you two meet?
Alicia: We met at a charity event through a mutual friend.
Then there was this:
USA Gymnastics: Are you planning to go back to school?
Alicia: I am planning to go back to school. I’m waiting on some transfer stuff to come in before I decide where I’m going to go.
So that means Sacramone won’t be going back to Brown University, it appears. Too bad; some dude was just this close to sitting between Alicia Sacramone and Hermione Granger in poly sci.

The bigger question is out of Quinn/Sacramone and Boller/Prejean which couple’s potential offspring would have less pressure to succeed?

Brady is gay jokes? Do you know that he was involved in an anti-gay incident in Columbus, Ohio a few years back? Not many do outside of Ohio because the browns and Quinn both lied and said they were not there while the Columbus PD claimed otherwise. And Boller dating dumb arse Prejean? I pity their offspring. But maybe they will grow up and make sex tapes.

Neither as Neither is high profile on a winning team. Not like the Romo/Simpson fling.

“Do the Rams play the Browns? Sadly no.”
Congrats on being the first person to ever utter this sentence.

For the love of all things sports… PLEASE stick to actual SPORT-RELATED topics. Who’s dating who, who’s eating what for breakfast, what color a WRs morning dump was yesterday does NOT matter to ANYONE… ANYWHERE…AT ALL! Well, I concede that. Perhaps the “die-hard sports fans” who spend all spare time floating over tmz.com do. So go post this stupid sh1t there.

How you managed to post this without the YouTube clip of Sacramone KTFO’ing that college dude, I do not know.

In most cases I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this post really forced me to do so. Really nice post!
