Matt's gadget plays
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart has a three-year endorsement deal with Polaroid that guarantees a low-seven figure payout, his agent, Chuck Price, told the Sports Business Journal.
This isn't about pitching cameras that spit out stupid little square things that you need to shake around until they develop. This is all about the company's new flat-screen TVs and other cool electronic stuff.
There's gotta be something it for Matt beyond just easy cash. May we speculate?
-- A razorphone that doesn't take pictures in bars, clubs or any other place where alcohol is served.
-- Special high-pitched ringtones to distinguish whether it's Paris, Brittney or some other starlette from "One Tree Hill" who might be calling at an inopportune moment.
-- A GPS system that tells him whenever Reggie Bush is in the same city, so he can make sure to separate himself from any sort of walking legal problem.
-- A Sharpie that allows him to sign-and-track articles that he signs, so that if something needs to be retrieved and revalued, he'll find it within two business days.
-- An super-duper extended family calling plan for his young fans (some of whom may be related and refer to him as Pops).
