Quinn one for eight

Posted in:

* 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.

  1. Another rim shot for Pat.

  2. 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.

  3. 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”

  12. Curly Neal he ain’t.

  13. Not the worst form. He will never get invited to become an Obama advisor as he cannot play like Arne Duncan.

  15. Obviously hasn’t been spending enough time with Coach Power.

    Comment by ChrisB Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:08 pm

  16. It’s obvious he was fouled on the first seven shots and the eighth was the game-winner to beat the Mon-Stars.

    Comment by Wumpus Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:08 pm

  17. This will be used by Rauner in an attack spot. “Pat Quinn just keeps missing the mark…..”

    Comment by John A Logan Thursday, Sep 11, 14 @ 3:11 pm

  18. Sorry.
    Don’t hear any “Sweet Georgia Brown” being whistled.
