Leinart is a stiff who is probably one of the most overhyped college football players in recent memory.

Ridiculous.

He's a good player on a great team. Nothing more. The USC hype machine and LA press put him where he is.

Check back in five years and we'll see how he does in the NFL.

In this day and age when we have people like Terrell Owens setting the bar for obnoxious professional athlete behavior and when we have countless of examples of athletes clamoring for more... more...MORE!!! When we have people like Latrel Sprewell (I think it was Latrell) claiming he can't feed his family on a few million a year (or words to that affect), occasionally we have a breath of fresh air.

How soon, or so it seems, that people have forgotten that he turned down being a probable number one draft pick (Read: BIG $$$$) so he could play one more year of college football. Some will say he did it because he had a bad elbow during NFL scouting work outs, some will say he did it for other reasons. But the fact remains, he did it, and very few others would have.
