I don't care how well he plays football. Brady Quinn has earned my respect. He's a REAL man -- the planet could use more like him.

[dbfro]

dayumm... perfectly said. i actually felt ashamed when he said that.. i started to think about how many times ive faked caring ab how other ppl are doing, or how ive given a quick "im good, thx" when ppl ask me how im doing. Its a hard truth to realize.

[imthings]

HUMAN BEINGS should feel proud that there are still some people who can see the bigger picture.

[kpeezy]

What idiot gave a thumbs down this? Did you lose some money on a bet or something? You may not like him as a football player, but he's on point with his comments.

[tunedime]

I love how he put it. Great words Brady.

[emanonymous]

his words are so poignant, not just for his colleague, but for the entire social state of our society. this videos views should be in the millions

[frthought]

This is a much more intelligent response than that of Bob Costas. Well stated and good advice for everyone.

[wescubed]

No one wants to really challenge if you are all right beneath the facade, because it means challenging themselves to answer the same question.

[knicks]

I gained alot of respect for this man. I remember watching this while my mother was on facebook wasting her life away and my dad on the phone, both not even caring what he was saying. Sad world we have become.

[eaglez]

Couldn't agree more with everything he said. He's totally right- go out in public and look around. What do you see? Everyone is looking down staring at their phones. Our addiction to technology is creating a society that lacks real relationships. We always talk about being "connected", but talking to someone through a damn screen is not true human connection. Real connection is being honest with someone face to face, and having a real, genuine, emotional relationship. Wake up people.

[Jackson]

right on Brady; Kids & adults need to put the phones away when you're having lunch with your parents or spouses...way to many disrespectful spoiled brats in this country!

[garzaboys]

we should as people really get to know telltale signs of those in need ... we need to always try... we need to learn from these painful examples as well..

"When you ask someone how they're doing, do you really mean it?"

Damn. Brady Quinn speaking words of wisdom.

[joshuaneal]

Nice to know that there are still some thoughtful people out there.

[andywells]

Damn, what a response, very meaningful and thoughtful, this is the type of guy every team would love to have, what a class act, good work Mr. Quinn, good work

[bulletshotfromgun]

TO be honest he is not a Bad QB If he only had a good support system(Like most QB's) from Cleveland to Denver I never thought he was overrated, there is really nothing you can do for Cleveland when the organization is in that kind of direction (derek Anderson too)
Brady Can be alot better if they give him the keys and a BETTER COACH!!
Romeo is a Defense guy not a head COACH.

[mattkenseth]

So true we are pre occupied with phones apps, twitter, and facebook. I cant hang out with my friends since their to occupied with their phones. Brady Quinn is such a good hearted person.

[RickLenaburg]

I hope people REALLY pay attention to what this guy was saying. And DeepHauz13 is right, Notre Dame can be very proud.

The chiefs may be having a shitty football season but two of their players have now had very compelling speeches.
