The story in question disappeared from TMZ’s site. However, the article, titled “Brady Quinn: I Would Have Made More Money Playing Baseball,” can still be read at the Google Cache link.
Ironically, Quinn works as an analyst for Fox Sports 1, which recently started airing a late-night television show centered around TMZ Sports. Fox Sports and TMZ have formed a partnership across platforms.
Quinn was a hot NFL commodity coming out of Notre Dame and was drafted in the first round by the Browns of the 2007 NFL Draft. However, he didn’t get much playing time during his three years in Cleveland and bounced between the Broncos, Chiefs, Seahawks, Jets, Rams and Dolphins before becoming a football analyst in 2014.
