The Dolphins have signed interior offensive lineman JD Quinn and will announce the addition early next week.
Quinn is, um, interesting for a handful of reasons:
He was at the team's rookie minicamp last weekend on a tryout basis after going undrafted out of Montana. He impressed coaches and general manager Jeff Ireland enough that they tried to get to know him and his personality more so they could feel comfortable with him on the team.
And the Dolphins needed to feel comfortable with Quinn because of his past.
Quinn was arrested in May of 2008 for a DUI violation and was temporarily suspended from the Montana football team. It was Quinn's second DUI arrest in less than a year because he was similarly arrested in July 2007 in Missoula.
The arrests were settled in court when Quinn pleaded guilty to per se drunken driving, wherein a defendant admits to driving with a blood alcohol level greater than the Montana legal limit of .08 but does not admit to driving while intoxicated. The May 2008 arrest was settled when Quinn pleaded guilty to a mudflap violation -- the reason he was stopped in the first place -- and the drunk driving charge was dropped. The court then sentenced Quinn to 10 days in jail, with all the time suspended, and ordered him to complete an alcohol dependency program.
But, believe it or not, that's not really Quinn's claim to fame, or infamy if that's how you look at things. Quinn, Oklahoma Sooners fans might recall, was dismissed from that team in August of 2006 and lost a year of eligibility for his connection in a car dealership scandal that included starting quarterback Rhett Bomar, who also was tossed from the team and transferred to Sam Houston State.
Quinn accepted $8,137 from the Norman, OK., Chevy dealership but never did any work there. That's an NCAA violation related to undue benefits and the governing body came down hard on the Sooners, forcing the the school to vacate eight victories, give up two scholarships, and also extending a previous probationary period.
Quinn became something of a villian among Oklahoma fans when he showed little regard for his old school in the taped phone conversation below.
Quinn, 6-4 and 300 pounds, will work at guard and center for the Dolphins.
[Update: Beat writer Jeff Darlington sends me this link that shows Quinn was also arrested for DUI in 2005. Quinn was 19-years-old at the time of this first arrest (assuming there weren't others earlier). The legal drinking age in Oklahoma at the time was 21 years old. So do the math, that's three DUI arrests for Quinn the last four years.]

Posted by: carlito from golfito | May 09, 2009 at 04:24 PM

jod,
Look at how you are trying to back out of this. Just stop it and act like a man, I mean take it like a man.
Posted by: Dfan | May 09, 2009 at 04:28 PM
ha! I proved your logic is flawed Jod aka Rexryansux, aka stapog, aka Marielito, aka Barack Stalin, to many more to go on. Nice try, but you're going to have to come better than that!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | May 09, 2009 at 04:29 PM
Everybody: We are probably the only ones posting at this time. Me as Dfan, Carlito and real jod. It would be scary if all three of us were the same dude. All 3 of us writting to ourselves. Sounds like some sick sob like BTK if you ask me.
Posted by: Dfan | May 09, 2009 at 04:31 PM
Carlito,
You should not have told jod how a person can post at the same time. Now he will know we are connected. Lookd at what you ahve done.
Posted by: Dfan | May 09, 2009 at 04:35 PM
THIS MY LAST POST WITH THE NAME JOD, FOR I SHOWED HOW A PERSON AS REX AKA CARLITO TRYING TO MAKE OTHER TO FIGHT FOR THEIR OWN GOALS ,SPREADING DISTRUST BETWEEN PEOPLE ON THIS BLOG AND TRYING TO MAKE IT A FORM OF CRAP TALK ALL THE TIME.
P.S...notice, how fast all these names came after me for speaking the truth,it made my day and i happy.
Posted by: jod | May 09, 2009 at 04:37 PM
