SHOTY First Round: Mark Cuban Vs. Matt Leinart

It's the day after Thanksgiving! If you have any good sense, you're lying on the floor right now, surrounded by pieces of bird skin, dealing with a nog-throbbing brain and complete with a homicide-scene outline traced with pie crust. Congratulations on getting to this point. You've earned it. Now, how about some SHOTY voting? Voting will remain open until the end of the first round ... so let's go with the matchup the seedings say will be the closest in the first round. It's No. 8 seed Mark Cuban vs. No. 9 Matt Leinart. A look at the nominees' 2008 resumes: More »

Matt Leinart Just Can't Figure This NFL Quarterback Thing Out Quite Yet

One of the most amusing parts of the whole "Costas Now" fiasco was when Cleveland Browns' wideout Braylon Edwards took the time to chime in (briefly) about his "take on blogs" and used the Matt Leinart post with Leitch's headline "Matt Leinart Is Taking His Offseason Film Work Quite Seriously" as his ammo. Edwards contention was that the assumption was unfair to Matt and that the quarterback's private backyard beer-bong parties really had no impact on how the man does his job. This could be entirely true and Leinart may very well have had every intention of securing his position as the savior of the Arizona franchise this season. But for some reason, he still can't get it done. More »

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Matt Leinart

One particular joy this NFL offseason is to flip through the preseason guides and note all the references to the above Matt Leinart photo. Inevitably, it'll read something like, "Leinart had an offseason that pleased the ladies and the blogs more than it pleased the Cardinals coaching staff." I still think this is a rather epic photo; it even inspired a Jeopardy! question More »

Joe Montana And Matt Leinart, BFF, Or Something

It has been amusing, as we flip through the NFL season preview mags we keep buying — are they always out this early? — is that every single one of them mentions Matt Leinart's fun-loving beer bonging. As we said from the get-go, the reason those pictures took off was because they fit into an existing narrative: Matt Leinart isn't taking his football seriously enough. And it was just reporters and fans who were thinking that. So now the Buzzsaw have a nice positive influence for the boy: Joe Montana. More »

Jeopardy! Attempts To Both Humanize And Humiliate Matt Leinart

Matt Leinart's Actions Make TheDirty.Com Famous

Matt Leinart's stupefying beer-bong partying and champagne-bottle fellatio did nothing to help his career as an NFL quarterback nor his promotional viability, but it did wonders for the Dirty.com. The site, once lost in the overly-crowded co-ed tit-flashing corner of the blog market, reached critical mass last week thanks to the Leinart photos. The LA Times skewered The Dirty's proprietors last week and, today, ABC News gives its spin on things. And even though Leinart boosted the site's daily numbers to almost 300,000 visits, Ari Golden, CEO and head dirt mongrel of The Dirty.com insists to ABC his site will continue to focus on "real" people, as opposed to NFL quarterbacks.

bong-slurping falls from grace (yes, this is duan)

Matt Leinart Should Just Grow Up Already

... So says annoyed Arizona Republic columnist Dan Bickley, who suggests that the Cardinals' quarterback of the present (and, "the future", allegedly) is just dancing a little bit too closely with Mr. Poonstone for his own taste. Bickley trots out every worst-case scenario Leinart should have considered (They could've driven home drunk and killed a family! They could've cried rape!) before he and his lurking 34-year-old wingman Nick Lachey house-partied with a gaggle of underage ponies. More »
