Brady Quinn's Apology to Tim Tebow Should Be More Than Enough for Fans

Anyone still stuck on Brady Quinn's comments about Tim Tebow in an interview with Mike Silver of GQ Magazine needs to hurry up and get over it.

Via Twitter, Quinn issued a formal and completely believable public apology.

Even if it's not believable to you, it should be more than good enough of an apology. The truth is that this is a matter between Quinn and Tebow. 

Nobody other than Tebow would really be in any place to be offended by any of the comments. Let's hope that no fans are out there taking sides in this dispute; it's just not worth it.

According to the Associated Press, Broncos Coach John Fox believes that there is no issue between the two quarterbacks.

"

Fox say there is no rift between the two Denver quarterbacks. He says the two were good teammates and attributes the comments to getting "lost in translation." Fox also believes the apology presents a more accurate portrayal of Quinn that the comments attributed to him.

"

That is the only thing that matters here. If Tebow and Quinn remain close, what anyone else thinks doesn't matter. 

The truth is that comments are going to be taken out of context. People are going to look for the juiciest way to create a story, and that generally means creating a rift. 

But if the two men involved in the "feud" don't care, nobody else should either. It was a fun thing to talk about for a few days, but is in no way relevant to anything going forward. When forming an opinion on Tebow or Quinn, don't let the comments you read/hear in GQ Magazine dictate what you think.
