Matt Leinart

I wasn’t aware Super Bowl Rentals were such a big deal. I guess people really like this football thing. People could just go around the country buying property in the Super Bowl cities and then rent them out for a quick buck.

Hopefully fans in Arizona will make up a majority of the fans at this years game.

Not much else to say.

REPORT DATES: Rookies July 27th, Veterans July 27th SITE: Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ

CAMP OBJECTIVES: Ken Whisenhunt’s initial camp in the desert will be a busy one, as the new head coach and his staff attempt to employ new schemes while integrating a number of new faces into their program. Offensively, Whisenhunt’s biggest task will be shaping the line, which was among the worst in the league in 2006 and is expected to feature new starters in center Al Johnson (ex-Cowboys) and first-round draft choice and tackle Levi Brown (Penn State). Those additions, along with that of former Saints and Browns fullback Terrelle Smith, were initiated in order to aid a long-dormant run game. On defense, the team is expected to move from a 4-3 scheme to the 3-4 favored during Whisenhunt’s tenure in Pittsburgh. How players that seem best-suited for the 4-3, such as ends Bertrand Berry and Chike Okeafor along with linebackers Karlos Dansby and Darryl Blackstock, will adjust will be worth watching. Whisenhunt and defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast must also inspire good things out of a secondary that added cornerback Roderick Hood (ex-Eagles) and safety Terrence Holt (ex-Lions) to the mix.
PRESEASON SCHEDULE: 8/11 at Oakland; 8/18 vs. Houston; 8/25 vs. San Diego; 8/30 at Denver

Anquan Boldin and coach Ken Whisenhunt also took batting practice with the Diamondbacks at Chase Field before Tuesday’s game.

Boldin, who also took batting practice one time last year with the D-Backs, played in high school.  And Whisenhunt actually was going to play college baseball instead of football until he tore up a knee in high school and derailed those plans.

Not sure how this is news but the home sale was featured in AZRepublic:

Before last February, when Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart moved to a gated community real estate agents have nicknamed “the Beverly Hills of Chandler,” he lived in this 6,800-square-foot house on an Ahwatukee Custom Estates cul de sac.

Now it can be yours, if you can swing the $2.4 million price tag.

The Tuscan-style estate has six bedrooms, 6.5 baths, 9-foot flat ceilings, and a game room. The kitchen features Viking appliances and two sub-zero refrigerators.

It’s not clear whether the celebrity football player ever entertained Paris Hilton in Ahwatukee when the two were an item.

But who cares? The backyard of this place would impress anyone from Hollywood with spectacular mountain views and a terraced pool with built-in a slide and rock waterfall.

Hot Tuna pro surfer Bron Heussenstamm is scheduled to co-host a radio show with Arizona Cardinals Quarterback Matt Leinart on KTAR-AM, Sports 620, April 22, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (Pacific). Internet surfers can listen online at sports.KTAR.com.

Rumored guest include: USC Head Coaches Pete Carroll (USC) and Ken Wisenhunt (Arizona Cardinals); pro football stars Reggie Bush (New Orleans), Shawn Merriman (San Diego), Edgerrin James (Arizona) and Matt Cassel (New England); as well as several top NFL draft picks.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart and Daisy the Dairy Cow teamed up Friday in Scottsdale to encourage Navajo Elementary School students to eat healthy. Students from Navajo’s Breakfast Club, a program that offers students free breakfast and day care in the morning, won the visit through a Dairy Council of Arizona drawing. About 80 third-graders and a few older students cheered as Leinart and the cow mascot, who stopped to give several students hugs, entered the school’s cafeteria. Leinart and Laura Trujillo, director of nutrition services for the Dairy Council, started by quizzing the students on milk facts, explained that chocolate milk has all the nutrients white milk does and encouraged healthy diets.

“I always drank, honestly, at least three glasses of milk a day,” Leinart said. Leinart then answered students’ questions about what it’s like to be a football player. “A lot of guys bend the rules, trying to win the game,” he said. “But it’s all for fun, really.” Sixth-grade students Dominic Bergs and Jordan Coomber said they were excited to meet Leinart. “My heart was, like, going,” Jordan said. The two students got to interview Leinart for “Bear Essential News,” a newspaper made up of articles written by elementary school students around the state. They said Leinart answered a variety of questions.

About 170 students attend Navajo’s Breakfast Club, which started about 1 1/2 years ago, said principal Clay McAllester. Navajo is a Title I school — 50 percent of its students qualify for free and reduced price lunch programs — and a lot of parents don’t have time to make breakfast, McAllester added.
