Leinart's partying worries Cards
Matt Leinart's off-the-field activities have been a concern for the Cardinals, who selected him with the 10th overall pick in the 2006 draft.

What the hell has gotten into people these days when an NFL quarterback can't enjoy his friggin life? Let's face it, the kid is young and rich and I think there is nothing wrong with what he did. Now if he were to make it a habit of making a drunken fool of himself in public then yeah, that's when the Cards and the league should come done hard on him. It seems like the actions of a few have made the rest of the league players suffer as a result of being under a microscope.

Same with Tony Romo, the guy catches hell for doing anything but studying his playbook. NFL players have their flaws, some bigger than others, but let's keep it all in context. Should the Cards be happy that their guy was exposed as being a beer bonger? Nope. In fact they should have a convo with him about it, but to say that they are "worried" about it and for any of the peanut gallery to think that what he did was a sin? Not right.
