http://www.viddler.com/embed/3e17ae88/Political pandering is hard to pull off right these days, but Paul Ryan should know better than to laud a "storied" franchise that's never won a Super Bowl and has one winning season in the last 10 (and, depending on your interpretation of such things, has only existed since 1999). Also, you got to be able to pronounce the quarterback's name right, too. At least he didn't use the opportunity to try and tout his fascist working routine of choice.

Thanks Gavin S. for the tip/video.
Jim Rome was ripping Paul Ryan a new one over this on sports radio today. A small thing, but funny.

He's not too far off, but the nasally voice just kills it.

(33,688 posts)7. Ah, that 'splains it. A rookie.
I don't follow college football - I am from Minnesota, where it hasn't mattered in over 40 years.

(2,921 posts)6. I *like* Brandon Weeden
I think Cleveland did the right thing by giving him a fair shake.
He just might turn out to be yet another Quinn.
