The sanctimony of the ucla blog and commenters is hilarious. I'm assuming NO bruin player EVER was a single dad and was less than attentive to his kid. I guess when your program is virtually irrelevent and hasn't had a player of Leinart's stature in almost 20 years you'll grasp onto anything to try amd feel good.
