• Is his arm strength best described as "adequate"? While he's not Brett Favre, it's better than adequate; Marc Bulger's arm is adequate, or Jon Kitna, or Chad Pennington. While there's a distinction to be made at the NFL level between "adequate" arms and the truly pop-gun variety (Jay Fiedler, Cade McNown when he played, etc.), I think Leinart stands out above Bulger, Kitna, Pennington, Warner, or maybe even Brady in terms of zip on throws, meaning he's "solid" or "above-average" in that department, not merely "adequate". -- Davis21Wylie September 10, 2005

I have to agree, although I think Jon Kitna does have an above-average arm. The likenesses between Leinart and Brady are uncanny, and Brady's got a solid arm, so I second the motion to have the adjective changed.Treima 17:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Leinart did announce in Jan. 2005 that he was gay. This should not be deleted anymore and nobody should have a problem with him being gay. I do not understand the rampant homophobia on this topic. 65.103.208.149 December 29, 2005

Leinart never announced he was gay. It's not "rampant homophobia" to revert statements that are not true. Dude's dating a supermodel, plus YayCollege! even has a "Matt Leinart Bang-O-Meter" chronicling the number of starlets Matt has bagged this season! - Davis21Wylie (t) 14:50, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Matt Leinart is not gay. It's incredibly stupid that we even have to have this discussion.--Alhutch 18:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• To the anonymous user who removed the comments above:

1. It's contrary to Misplaced Pages practice to revert or remove content from talk pages except for cases of blatant vandalism. Discussion is discussion, even if it's banal.
2. They're not "useless comments" if the discussion, such as it is, keeps the same baseless assertion from being posted to the article again.

I put a temporary block on the editor who kept adding the gay comment. His "sources" were laughable. From available evidence, as if it really mattered, the subject of the article is gay only in the fantasies of that editor. Now let's drop the subject. — Kbh3talk 06:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Boy, don't I feel stupid. I actually believed he was gay just from reading it here. Just goes to show that sometimes you gotta check those sources...66.80.212.78 23:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Just because he is dating a girl doesn't mean he's straight. Ever heard of Elton John and George Michael, genius?

abuse of power

An administrator (Alhutch) semi-protected this page as an abuse of power because he dislikes legitimate edits. Please un-protect this page immediately.

you have yet to cite your sources. Go ahead.--Alhutch 02:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Alhutch, for protecting this page... I was going to suggest it myself. This "Matt Leinart is gay" thing is becoming quite tiresome. "Sources"? Ha! - Davis21Wylie 03:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

thanks for the support. the "matt leinart is gay" edits have come from several very persistent IPs. I'm not sure what's behind the whole thing.--Alhutch 05:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's ludicrous that this has gone on for as long as it has, thank you for the protection. IanMcGreene 20:19, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

unblock this page please

There are legitimate people that want to edit the article. Your petty squabbling over something so idiotic as this is ruining people's experience on Misplaced Pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.12.114 (talk • contribs)

good point. on my way.--Alhutch 05:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Holy smokes!!! You're one of the IPs who kept putting in the "Matt Leinart is gay" thing. I previously blocked you for that reason! I can't believe I got tricked so easily. I'm reprotecting the page, and checking the contribs page next time an IP asks me to unprotect a page.--Alhutch 06:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't be so petty Alhutch, there are multiple people using the same IPs. Legitimate people want to edit this page. You are being petty because you disagree with arguably true edits. You are abusing what protected status was supposed to be for.

As I've repeatedly said, I'm more than willing to post sources for my edits. Alhutch is just being the prototypical power-hungry rude admin. I haven't posted sources because of Alhutch's abuse toward me and lack of respect for me as a human being and fellow Wikipedian.

that's all well and good, but since you have the ability to edit this talk page, why don't you post the sources right here, right now? Please go ahead, I am watching the page.--Alhutch 06:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
