Quarterback Brady Quinn made no headlines on the football field in 2007.  He’s now making headlines for something he allegedly did on the first day of 2008.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Quinn was accused in a 911 call made on New Year’s Day of shouting insults at a group of passersby outside of a gay bar in Columbus, Ohio.

A man named Seth Harris placed the call after encountering a group including Quinn.  Harris told the operator that “Brady Quinn from the Browns” was “trying to cause a fight.  I just walked outside and he exchanged many profanities with me and called me a faggot, of course.”

Police responded to the scene, Quinn and friends were present.

“When we got there, he was very cooperative and just stopped,” said Columbus police spokeswoman Amanda Ford.  “I think his friends were like, ‘Let’s get out of here.’”

Hmmm.  But why would Brady Quinn and his buddies be hanging out in the “gay-friendly Short North neighborhood”?

Oh.  Never mind.
