The lady in the photo looks like FSN Lindsay Soto, who does the highschool shows.


I think I see the logic:

Leinert stayed for his final year of college eligibility rather than enter the NFL draft; This means he must not care about money; And therefore he has no right to be in a dispute over contract terms now. What a hypocrite-- He should play for free! And the fact that he allowed himself to look silly in a Heisman trophy party photo before he was even drafted totally proves it.

Without knowing what the facts about the deal on the table, how can any of you knock Matt for not signing? It seems no matter what, the perception is that the player is at fault and greedy for "holding out". Can we really assume that these NFL are always offering the best deal possible?

Don't judge the players unless you know all the facts.

PS - I thought she looked like Linday Soto too.

The photo is a joke, probably photoshop! Soto is a tremendous class act with above board character and professionalism. This entire topic is a joke. The fact is that the ownership of the cheap ass Ariz Cardinals goes through this kind of stuff every year. Thank god that they built their own stadium and didn't try to move to LA. They were a losing organization in St. Louis, the slid out of town for their own benefit. With cheap owners like the Bidwells, I pity that Leinart ended up as their draft choice!
Go for the guarantee $$$ Matt! A future with that lousey organization will never mature. Get the hard cash up front and look for a trade as soon as possible!

Gilly! wassup buddy!... I'll bet you .50 cents (cash) that the Cards will go at least 4-12 this year. Who's better, Cards or Saints?

haha...Cards or Saints...If it weren't for their Trojan players, I could care less about those two organizations, but will look in on them now, hoping to see Reggie highlights and hopeful Leinart minutes sometime this season. Kurt Warner should either go down or resume his pittiful play of recent seasons sooner than later, Matty has already outplayed john Navarre in college (Rose Bowl) and statistically during their college careers, so maybe we get lucky and Leinart gets to play this season.

Agree with goliath! They both suck but watching the Trojans play there will be a good enough excuse to look in on them this season. I hope Leinart finds the field this season.

Those boyz have sold alot of season tickets already... I bet the Houston Texans are already knawing their teeth & kicking themselves for passing up on Reggie. Matt will be interesting to watch this weekend, as soon as he gets out of Paris...
