Below is from Leinart's latest entry in his draft diary on ESPN.com. This post is part comical and part serious. Does this type of guy fit what Tangini are looking for? "Watches and shoes are my two fetishes. They are my two favorite things. I had a pretty nice watch for a while and I just had a chance to get two more. They're called Icelink watches. I'll be wearing one at the draft. They're great watches. Look for them. I've also always had a big sweet tooth. I have a lot of cavities. I had to go to the dentist again this week because of it. I bought this gumball machine at Toys R Us last year. It's my favorite thing in my apartment. It's always filled. It's just bad because it rots my teeth. I felt like I had four or five cavities, but I actually had zero cavities this time. The dentist did fix part of a bottom tooth. My mouth was numb. It hurt a little bit, but it was OK. I got the laughing gas so it made me feel good."
So you think the fact that he likes shoes outweighs the fact that all he knows how to do is win football games?
Is it just me, or does he sound like a spoiled 5 year old that had to write about what he did over the weekend for class? :lol: EDIT: doesn't change anything about my opinion on him, but I found it funny.
It does, but honestly if you had other QBs have their own blog it would probably be even more pathetic. Could you imagine Young's blog? The Mannings would probably be talking about some redneck crap too
I'm to opposite. The more I hear, the more I want. I like that the log is real like that. He's not a pre-modona. He's not trying to use it to sell himself. I bet if half the drafties were doing it, it would go something like: "Well I'm a little sore from benching 250lbs 25 times during my work out. That's nothing new, I'm use to working through pain. I don't let pain stop me. Right now I'm going over to Professor Felix house for a game of Chess. My record is 16-0 against him, I'm smart like that. After I think I'm going to go home and watch nothing but game film till I fall asleep."
Totally agree, news is slow. But, the bigger point is this. I think someone posted how the Mannings would have written something about red-neck, football stuff. My only point is that Tangini seem to like guys that think that way: football dorks and gym rats that wear old clothes and wouldn't give a crap about what watch they wear to the draft. I see this as representative of what Tangini will look to screen out from the selection process. Cutler seems more their speed, not a glitzy guy like Leinart.
I do not care if he has a fetish for pooring hot wax on his cayones, as long as he wins football games he can chew as much dam gum while buying as many pairs of shoes he can afford, which will be a boatload of shoes.
Well ? if Vince Young was talking he would have said ?I have a big gumball machine in my apartment ? but I had to get rid of it because it was preventing me from walking??
This is alarming. It reads as if written by a 9-year old. This guy will be available at #4, mark my words, because he seems to have a propensity to diminish his own value with every passing day. And firing his agent without even a phone call just before the draft indicates not only his extreme naivety but also makes one wonder how difficult it may be to get this guy to sign a contract once drafted. The question now becomes, do we really want him at #4, even if he "drops" there? Of the QB's, I'm starting to lean more toward Young if given the choice between the two.
