No one said being a rehabbing Heisman Trophy winner with everything to prove was an easy gig. But Arizona’s young quarterback Matt Leinart isn’t making being a public figure any easier, whether the court of public opinion is justified or not.
No one said being a douche-bag was against the law.
While it’s not something that was on the top of the wish list for Cardinals fans (and coach Whisenhunt) --who would rather have had his continued rehab and preparation for the upcoming season be more prominent in the public eye, it’s not like he was caught doing anything illegal or that could realistically be considered “wrong”. He was not beating his wife, playing Wyatt Earp in front of gentlemen’s clubs, or breeding killer canines. There is not an NFC Divisional Playoff game next Sunday against a division rival. The girls were supposedly of age, and how he spends his off-time is obviously his own business.
And give the man a break. He has to cut a $15K child-support check every month so his baby's mama can have a 335i, an iPhone, and an LV handbag.
In 17 games over two seasons living with the cacti, Matty has thrown for 13 touchdowns and a stellar 16 picks, all the while the Cards have amassed a disappointing 13-19 mark in one of the worst divisions in football. In 2007, he played in 5 games before snapping a collarbone and handed the reigns over to ageless Kurt Warner, who lead the team to an even 8-8 record.
