The Packer Pundit: Laura Quinn is a Hawtie!

Laura Quinn is a Hawtie!

WHAT THE EFF'
IS UP WITH ALL THE
LAURA QUINN
BASHING???

Let me first start out by saying that my judging people by their looks is Risky at best. However, I will say this in my defense... People do have a tendency to confuse me with Brad Pitt... I can't tell you how many times people have said I look like the Pitts!

So with all that said...
I'd like to discuss a topic I find most disturbing.
People Bashing Laura (A. J. Hawk's girl friend) Quinn's Looks!

Now all of you know the Packers selected A. J. Hawk out of The Ohio State University. Rugged... strong... caveman like with long "biker" hair looking like he just came out of central casting for the remake of "Road House".

Now some women dig this look (my cousin Robin for one... she has a Darius Kasparaitis fetish and her husband Wayne has biker hair too). Personally... I just don't get it... I always thought chicks dig balding, middle aged guys with well developed love handles... okay... love handle bars.

Yeah... we all know 'bout A. J.
But did you know who his girl friend is? Well yeah... I sort of gave that away a couple sentences ago but yeah... it's Laura Quinn. And did you also know that Laura's brother is none other than Notre Dame QB and future #1 draft pick, Brady Quinn?

Well... if you knew all that already... my bad!
But if this is news to you... what may also serve as a bulletin is this... Laura Quinn gets dis'ed for her looks!

Bite Me!
Maybe I'm just old fashioned.
Maybe I come from a different time.
Maybe I need to visit the optomerist...
But... Bite Me!
When did it become fashionable to cut down a players wife, fiance, or girl friend because of her looks and...
Double Bite Me!
I think Miss Quinn is a total drop dead Hawtie!

Now let me add something here. I really struggled with writing this post or not. I first learned of this Laura "Hater-aid" from one of the Packer Forums discussion topics.

I wont say which one... but it wasn't kind.

Also... not that Miss Quinn or A. J. or Brady or even Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman would ever read this silly little blog but... if by chance... I wasn't going to add to the "hurt" if she wasn't aware of the snide comments or... simply give a forum to them.

But I did feel compelled to write this. So here we are.

In researching the subject I came across a couple articles of Laura Bashing. The first, surprising enough, comes from SI.com (Sports Illustrated) where they find the time to get a little dig in to Laura, under the above picture I posted. (Link)

Hey, Laura Quinn, hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame.

Now I ask you... what the eff is up wid dat? This is a major sports publication that just dissed the Pack's #1 pick's fiance and the future Heisman and #1 over all pick Brady Quinn's sister!

And Hellooooooooo... what the eff was her crime?
Supporting her fiance and brother by wearing a split ND/OSU jersey! That sucks! SI.com... you suck!

Not to be out done... CBS Sportsline.com writer Matt Rehm said...

"I'm sure Laura Quinn is a fine person, but judging by her hair and makeup, she apparently just stepped out of a Whitesnake video. I'm here to help, though. Just put down the eyeliner, Laura, and nobody gets hurt."

Earth to Matt Rehm??? Hellooooooo??? Why don't you try sticking to... sport's writing is it... and leave the fashion critque up to Mr. Blackwell. You Butt munch! CBS Sportsline... you're pathetic!

Now just to prove the entire world isn't full of ass holes and sport's writers... or both... I did find this article coming to Laura's defense... oh... and for the record... I happen to dig chicks that step out of Whitesnake videos... it's all good... it's all good!

The blogging universe was even less kind. I won't quote any blog entries, but suffice it to say that many felt obliged to fill web message boards with offensive smut. I found unenlightened commentary on Laura's teeth, jaw, hair, breathing technique and hand size, along with name-calling and assumptions about Laura's promiscuity.

I could spend these 700 words coming to the defense of Laura, expressing outrage at the poor taste or jealousy of a relative few. But instead, what I find disturbing is that none of this is at all remotely surprising. And therein lies a sad aspect of the state of our media culture: a contempt for normal people that are cast in the spotlight. I think we've grown numb to the phenomenon.

Where does this contempt come from? At the risk of being tackled for a loss while walking across campus, let's state the obvious: Laura is a hottie. On top of that, she's polite, well-spoken, and knowledgeable about sports. She held her own with seasoned reporters on a local sports show the night before the Fiesta Bowl.

On the other hand, an unscientific poll of female friends on campus reveals that A.J. is, in fact, not the prettiest of guys. Sure, he has the kind of football and financial future that most of us can't work into even the wildest of our realities. But on the surface, he resembles what he probably is: a hulking, smashmouth linebacker who eats nails for breakfast.

Yet, I didn't find a single insult thrown A.J.'s way on web discussion boards or sports sites. Yes, A.J. is evaluated for his athletic skills, and men overwhelmingly report on that topic. But still, why does Laura get the backlash? My theory is that she's attractive enough to cause some ordinary folks to hunt for flaws, which probably can be attributed to envy more than anything. It's unfortunate that the web provides a forum for that.

All in all, the Laura-Brady-A.J. storyline was innocent and compelling. In fact, the only off-the-field storyline more compelling (and decidedly less innocent) would be if A.J. and Brady instead were tormented by the football version of "Brokeback Mountain." Imagine A.J. driving Brady into the ground, then looking away and saying, "I wish I could quit you." Until that happens, the cute girl will remain the easy target of ridicule.

Now that there's some serious smack!
Pay attention Rehm... check it out SI.com...
Bite Me...
Laura Quinn is a total Hawtie... end of story!
