Sure, Brady Quinn played well in spite of his receivers struggling to hold on to the ball. But this kind of drinking display, and the subsequent video editing, setting the entire thing to the theme from Chariots of Fire, is the kind of individual brilliance by today's student athletes that inspires the youth of tomorrow.

Putting team partisanship aside for a moment -- anonymous Irish fan, I salute you.
