What a lovely way of sayin' what you're thinkin' of me
It's been confirmed by People magazine, so it must be true: Brynn Cameron is taking a pregnant pause from her basketball career to have Matt Leinart's kid.
The Associated Press even thought enough of it to run the thing as a story today, which started as a note in the Daily News' Scott Wolf's USC notebook a couple of days ago, and it was discussed as a topic on Wednesday's "Pardon the Interruption" on ESPN.
Stan Cameron, the father of Brynn, the 20-year-old junior guard on the USC women's basketball team, says she'll sit this season out and have the baby in November.
Brynn isn't going to say anything more about it. Asked Wednesday about Cameron, Leinart said, "I'm not going to comment."
"Brynn does not want to get married," Stan Cameron told several newspapers about the circumstances. "She wants to finish school and let Matt do his thing and then figure it out. ... It might not be the best timing in the world, but we are obviously very happy to have a new baby in the family. Brynn just found out about a month ago and told the team on Monday ...
"Once the baby is born, she wants to get back to playing basketball again and finish school. I know Brynn will make a great mom. Things will be fine. It will be fun."
As much as we feel disappointed that this all happened, it still could be a great script for "Love and Basketball 2."
And at least grandpa knows where to find the quarterback (and his checkbook) if he's thinking about making another walk of shame from Paris Hilton's condo.
