Leinart blogs NOLA

ESPN has a cute new feature: Matt Leinart's Draft Diary. Now we can finally get into that hunky head of his! You can even email him questions!!!!

Here's mine: How did you first get into surfing?

Anyway, Mattie recently had a visit with the Saints' Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis. He proceeds to wax poetic about the current state of the city, having been obliterated and all:

Even though it was hot and humid in New Orleans, it was a good experience. What the city and people went through was horrible. I'm not one of those guys who would say I don't want to be with the Saints because of what happened to the city. It would be great to play for the Saints. To be there, to feel it, and talk about the community with the coaches was a very cool thing.

But obviously not cool enough to counteract that smothering humidity, HUH?!?!

I want to be a dick, but he's actually speaks very favorably of my hometown. That son of a bitch.
