Matt Leinart Fires "Superagent" Leigh Steinberg, Also Fires "Superfriend" Batman.


Earlier today the story broke that "superquarterback" Matt Leinart dismissed his "superagent" Leigh Steinberg.

Steinberg is one of the most highly successful sports agents in recent history, with a roster of current and former NFL players that includes Ben Roeth(I hate your last name)lisberger, Mark Brunell, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, and Warren Moon.

Leinart already had the agency CAA (Creative Artists Agency) in charge of his marketing. Recently, Tom Condon, who represents Peyton and Eli Manning left IMG to go to CAA.

I've heard some speculation that Leinart wants to be more than a successful quarterback, and wants to be a household name and branch out into many different areas besides pro-football. Apparently, CAA has been fairly successful with athletes in the past who have the same goals, and now with Tom Condon there (who did a very good job promoting the Manning brothers) might have had much to do with Leinarts decision.
