Quinn one for eight
Thursday, Sep 11, 2014 - Posted by Rich Miller
* Sun-Times…
Thursday afternoon, Gov. Pat Quinn attended practice for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky.
While there, he participated in a short shootaround, where he tried to show off his basketball skills. It didn’t go very well.
* Video…
…Adding… He does make a couple in a row on a Facebook video, however.

Another rim shot for Pat.
- A guy... - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 2:36 pm:
Nah, it’s about right. He’s be one for 10 if the rebounds didn’t bounce so darn far away and roll under the bleachers.

Never have the Principle fail at a skill of athletic endeavor, unless you can laugh it off as pure fun.
Dancing? Sure, Singing? If they can, why not.
Free throws, first pitches, golf swings…
Looking inept in some endeavors isn’t “helping”

Needs more knee bend.
- Louis G Atsaves - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 2:40 pm:
Last shot proved it. Just needed a little more arc on the ball!

Note passed by Brooke—-More Knee Bend

If things go poorly in November, Pat could get a job in Washington — playing for the Generals.

Surprised he isnt visiting all the schools the jackie Robinson team members attend and milk a little more goodwill out of that.

Dude just won the bricklayer vote.

Bruce Rauner shoots 100% because he’s always successful!
- Empty Chair - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 2:50 pm:
Shooting around in shirtsleeves sucks.

Curly Neal he ain’t.
- Wumpus - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:02 pm:
Not the worst form. He will never get invited to become an Obama advisor as he cannot play like Arne Duncan.
- Empty Suit - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:04 pm:
He almost tie the Prez

Obviously hasn’t been spending enough time with Coach Power.
- Wumpus - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:08 pm:
It’s obvious he was fouled on the first seven shots and the eighth was the game-winner to beat the Mon-Stars.
- John A Logan - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:11 pm:
This will be used by Rauner in an attack spot. “Pat Quinn just keeps missing the mark…..”
- VanillaMan - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:14 pm:
Sorry.
Don’t hear any “Sweet Georgia Brown” being whistled.
Just thank god he isn’t playing shirtless.

His brother would not be happy with this performance.
- Robert the Bruce - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:39 pm:
He leans left when he shoots.
- Yellow Dog Democrat - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:42 pm:
Do’s and Don’ts.
- anon - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:59 pm:
got to put some spin on the ball, Guv..must have used it all in trib debate
- Mr. Big Trouble - Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 4:15 pm:
His basketball court nick name is ‘ The Mason”.
Because he throws up bricks..
