Circle the wagons

Matt Leinart to ESPN.com: ``Yeah, it's hard to trust anybody, especially when you are in a position like I am, a position like all these guys are in when you are a professional athlete. You learn that, but your circle kind of gets closer, tighter around you, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.''
There at those at USC who would argue part of Leinart's problem was the choices of people for the small circle he hung around with during his final two years.

One should not forget that Leinart is basically an introverted personality living in an extroverted world (movie stars, sports stars). I think he is uncomfortable much of the time. This might be a factor as to why he finds it "hard to trust anybody," and why his circle of friends is so limited.

Whatever, it's his personal life.

On a football quarterback note, here's an ESPN article on Chow and the UCLA QB's.

What problem, exactly was that? Was it the Heisman problem? Or maybe the national championship problem? I'm just wondering. Because from here, it looks like his only real problem is some bitchy second-rate hack journalist continually taking cheapshots.
