Election Day ramblings

First off, if you're reading this and you haven't voted yet, go vote.

[Waits for you return ...]

OK, now, Cleveland fans, have no fear: Your franchise has now been placed in the hands of ... that guy, Brady Quinn. What, exactly, is he doing with that guy from "Rock of Love"? Hopefully not the same thing Pam Anderson did with him ... But hey, at least there aren't pictures of him dancing rather questionably with an underaged girl in an L.A. nightclub (looking at you, Leinart).

This is what I told my only friend from Cleveland:

"The difference between Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn is simple: You'll go from hearing ... 'Anderson flees the pocket, looks right, throws and it is ... picked off!' to 'Quinn flees the pocket, looks right, throws and it is ... picked off!'

Will Quinn ultimately be better than Anderson? Probably. But that won't change much this year.

Still, the move was inevitable. I just thought I'd post about it quickly because everyone is busy paying attention to the election.

-- What the heck happened to the 'Skins last night? They looked like the ham and salami on Pittsburgh's delicious Leftwich. Terrible joke. Final score: Pittsburgh a lot, Washington a little.

-- It always comes back to math, doesn't it? Simple math, really.

-- Walk carefully around Pitt basketball ... foot injuries spread like wild fire.

Impact: Well, it's safe to say Gilbert Brown won't play in the season opener next week. There's really no reason to play him against the Fightin' Seth Greenbergs (the Virginia Tech coach went to Fairleigh Dickinson). And from the looks of the lineup, as we discussed yesterday, it doesn't look like Brown will be a starter. It's still early, but he will probably back up Sam Young at small forward. His athleticism will be missed, but there are plenty of guys to pick up the slack until he comes back.

-- There is some good news out of the Pitt camp: Levance Fields has been cleared for all-out practice.

Parting thought: I thought I told you to go vote ...
