Cleveland Browns quarterback denies anti-gay slur accusations
Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn is turning out to be one of the hottest young players both on and off the field. This week, however, the 23-year-old stunner has come under some fire after it was reported that he was yelling anti gay slurs and harassing patrons outside of a Cleveland bar. Quinn adamantly denies the accusations, and the Browns are supporting their player.
While at Notre Dame, Quinn was a star player who broke over 36 school records during his four-year tenure. He placed third in the Heisman Trophy race, and was awarded honours as the top college quarterback in the nation.
With high expectations going in to the NFL draft, Quinn was the 22nd over all pick as the third string quarterback for the Browns. This year, he signed a five-season contract reportedly worth over $20 million and made his starting debut in the final game of the season.
On New Year’s Eve, Seth Harris placed a call to 911 and accused the quarterback of harassing gay patrons at a local bar.
The Associated Press reported that Harris told the operator, "There's a group of football players, Brady Quinn from the Browns ... and he's trying to cause a fight. His friends are yelling at all of the gay people that are around here."
Police arrived on the scene outside of La Fogata Grill, and Quinn was seen arguing with 32-year-old Jason Thompson.

I saw this fight! I had no clue at the time who was involved. I just happened to be in Columbus that night, riding down that street, and saw a girl in a black dress puking her guts out on the sidewalk while the guy she was with completely ignored her.
One block later, I saw a huge fight on a 2nd-story terrace of a bar, two guys were being held apart by a dozen people. Same street, same area, same hour as reported in the news. It had to be it!

Except that this happened in Cleveland, not Columbus.
Good job at failing.

No, Brian is correct, Dylan Vox is wrong, and it is you that gas failed, Eric.
The altercation took place in Columbus. Don't believe everything you read on the Net.
