Answer Monday!

| | Comments (17) |

It's that time of the week, brought to you by Caesar's favorite TV show, the properly canceled ``John from Cincinnati.'' Apparently, he liked it better than HBO's original idea, ``Jim from Stanford.''

Q: I went to the first four spring training sessions and want to know if you agree with my assessment of the QBs to date:
Corp is playing better than the fall but is nowhere near ready for the job. In fact, he has shown the biggest improvement out of the three.
Mustain is playing far below his performance from the fall (at least, thus far) and has not found his comfort zone.
Sanchez is playing fairly poorly, but no less poor than he usually plays, and still has the same issues he has long been criticized for.

A: Corp is behind the other two. Mustain is still learning but has flashes where he shows how good he could become while Sanchez is trying to avoid making mistakes and keep his composure..

Q: I read a story today by the Sporting News where it said that during the Oregon game last season, the fans at Autzen Stadium were taunting Mark Sanchez by calling him "Rapist, molester, felon." Do you think that had anything to do with why he was so rattled and nervous? Do you think these taunts by opposing fans are to be expected against Sanchez whenever he is to play at away venues, especially known hostile environments?
A: I haven’t read the Sporting News but I’m sure the fans at Autzen Stadium said all kinds of things. Mark Sanchez knew wherever he plays he would hear comments and says it movtivates him.

Q: Is Sark staying the course with last season’s play book, or with the addition of Damian Williams and a more experienced RoJo and Joe McKnight enabling him to open up the play book a little more? Fight On!
A: The plays are more or less the same, but two of the players you mentioned are a year older while Williams is a dependable possession receiver. So that allows everything to be run better and maybe call more daring plays. We hope.

Q; Is McKnight really moving to wide receiver?
A: No, but from the beginning it was envisioned he would move all over the field. Remember, when he signed USC coaches thought he could be their best wide receiver if he played that position.

Q: What are your views on Matt Leinart's latest media indiscretions of doing beer bongs with underage girls and aiding to the delinquency of minors? Do you think he will still be in the NFL by two years time or does this just validate the issues the front office staff have always felt he had? Could this be the beginning of the end for Leinart?
Q: Do you have a comment on the "Matt Leinart drinking with underage girls" situation?

A: For those close to the program the emergence of the pictures is, ``What’s new?’’ Other than his lackeys in the athletic dept. (and they know who they are), everyone else is just shaking their head (again) and reminded of his USC days. The question is what do the Cardinals think? This is a vital year for him to prove himself to the organization. And he does not like adversity. So if he struggles, it could get ugly.

The fact about Leinart's so-called "indiscretion" is that he had a party at his house and there were young women there. To automatically assume that they were underage says more about your (the poster, not Scott) opinion of Leinart.

What that picture doesn't show is the fact that he came in to off-season workouts in shape and has been working his ass off with his teammates. He has received ample praise from his coach for his work ethic this off-season. He's going to be Arizona's starter and while he may never be a HOF QB for that program, he has the talent to be successful.

No, "thetaxAN971", the fact about Leinart's so-called "indiscretion" is that he served alcohol to underage girls.

The poster did not ASSUME that the girls were underage. They WERE underage.

Press reports have identified the four girls. They are all ASU students and range in age from 19-20. Last time I checked, the legal drinking age in Arizona was still 21.

Next time, try Google.

thetaxiAN971 said:

Well then I stand corrected. It's his house, he should be fined for serving alcohol to minors if the press reports were, in fact, true. Of course we all know reporters get things wrong, as Scott does frequently, so let the police sort it out.

DFWTrojan said:

Yes, let the police arrest Matt, the girls, and the other 20,000 underage co-ed ASU chicks who go out and drink every weekend in Tempe. He met them at a club. What is he supposed to do, ID every person that enters his house? Give me a break.

It's interesting to me how fast we turn on our own on this site. I don't know if it's unique to SC or if it's that way on other college boards, i don't check them because this is the only school i went to.

It would be nice to remember that we do back the same university.

Tow words...Joe Namath. Google his name along with the words partier, chicks...whatever you choose. Bam! The hits will light up your computer. We used to worship this sort of "behavior". And before you say it, yes he was established...but, not in the beginning...look it up. Has Matt made some poor choices...? Yes. Is he a pretty normal guy in his twenties...I think he is.

FAMOUS JOE NAMATH QUOTES:

"I like my Johnnie Walker Red and my women blonde"

"I don't know whether I prefer Astroturf to grass. I never smoked Astroturf. "

...and for those who don't know what "tow" words means. oh well, my first word on my very first post:) Maybe I should have actually attended SC instead of simply worshiping the football team.

Okay, I really need some sort of tutorial here...I'm only submitting once I swear!

Excellent post, Bobbyda! The software here sucks, and frequently multiplies your posts. The Namath analogy and quotes are awesome and true, true.
