Matt Leinart Ends Holdout, Also Signs with Arizona Cardinals
Aug 16, 2006, 09:25
The strain of holding out often showed on Matt Leinart.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Matt Leinart reported to training camp yesterday, having ended his protracted holdout Monday night in a Best Western motel here.
Speaking at a joint press conference, Leinart's agent, Tom Condon, told reporters, "Matt felt like it was time. To continue to holdout was just going to leave him farther and farther behind the other guys."
Arizona Cardinals' chairman and president, William V. Bidwell, said he understood why Leinart held out so long.
"He truly believed that holding out was the best way to save his legs, especially for game days," said Bidwell. "But in the end he came to realize that those old wives tales about holding out weren't helping his career—or his complexion."

When Condon was asked how it was possible that Leinart had held out even while dating Paris Hilton, he replied, "Matt allowed himself to be photographed in June as he left Ms. Hilton's Beverly Hills home in the early morning glow. But the 'previous evening's clothes' that were bunched up under his arm? His laundry, that's all. Paris just does Matt's laundry for him because gets tired of doing it by himself."
Most Arizona fans, many of whom split their loyalties between baseball and football, were glad the holdout was over.
"You knew, sooner or later, that Leinart had to stop holding out," said Ralph Fliegelmann, a dual season-ticket holder. "You hold out too long and people are going to start saying you're gay or something."
Leinart fans, however, did not take the news of his broken holdout lying down.
Leinart practiced safety in numbers while at USC.
"I don't understand how this is possible," said Brianna Easter, founder of the Brentwood chapter of the Matt Leinart Fan Club. Matt was in college for four years. At Southern Cal, practically in Hollywood. And he ends his holdout in Flagstaff, Arizona? Duh?"
Another fan club member, Braelyn Westwood, who said she had hoped to be the first Mrs. Leinart, had been holding out herself.
"Until today I still hoped I'd be the one he ended his holdout on," said Westwood.
Condon would not divulge details about how—or with whom—the holdout ended. A source close to the Cardinals did say that Leinart was "all smiles" when he arrived at camp.

Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno did not die of a broken heart, as many of his delusional followers are claiming. He died of a guilty conscience. Anybody who says otherwise is a toadying douchebag.
