Brady Quinn apologized to Tim Tebow for unflattering comments Quinn made about the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback in a GQ article.
The article on Tebowmania was written by Michael Silver and titled "The Year of Magical Stinking: An Oral History of Tebow Time."
In it, Quinn was quoted as saying, "We've had a lot of, I guess, luck, to put it simply." He also said he felt the fans were the reason Tebow leapfrogged him on the depth chart when supplanting Kyle Orton as the starter.
