I don't think I recall Leinart saying he would love to play in NO.

Then I don't think you recall correctly. When asked SPECIFICALLY about the Saints, dude not only said he would love to come here and be part of the rebuilding, he even mentioned some of our offensive players by name. Trust me, any time he is asked about any team he will say he'd love to go there. Why wouldn't he?

I can't find that link anywhere, but I would expect nothing less from anyone represented by a top agent in the league. Sorry if this seems cynical but this is the world of professional sports. In any event, don't kid yourself by the talk. The guy is partial to places that he would like to go and work, just like you and I or any other person living in the US for that matter. If you don't think he'd prefer one team over another then I don't know what to tell you.

Drew Brees said the same thing that you said Leinart did about wanting to be part of the rebuilding and all that. Yeah that's why he gave Miami every opportunity up until the last minute to match or come close to our offer. And it was Miami who called off the talks. I'm sure Drew Brees wants to play here because obviously he signed wih us, but don't think he didn't prefer Miami over us.

All this said I think he would still be a good addition to the Saints if we were to draft him. I'll probably still be called a hater.

Um, exactly why I said noone should be getting bent out of shape cause he mentions this team or that team.

Ha I just think that people wanted him to be like "Well New York is nice and all but there's nothing that would compare to being a part of rebuilding the great city of New Orleans and bringing that team to prominence."

If I were him I would've been breathing a huge sigh of relief when Brees signed with us. Check out his website at mattleinartqb.com about his favorite color and places to visit. Everything isn't PR.

I for one support WhoDi's new avatar. I'm not really getting the rush of nearly naked chick avatars though, but for that one I make an exception.

Next April 1, Halo should just give everyone a Brian Milne avatar for fun.

Matt Leinart can suck it, been reading his own press. He's all the theatrics of Joe Namath with 1/8 the talent and physical tools.

That being said, I think we should have him down in the next 2 weeks for "serious contract talks" to really light a fire under Tennessee and the Jets to trade up for him.
