I don't think that DJ Gallo is as funny as he thinks he is, but this is amusing:
I now present the short play: "Matt Cassel and Matt Leinart Meet at Midfield."
(Scene: the center of the field following New England's 47-7 victory over Arizona)
Leinart: "Hey, Matt! Great game."
Cassel: "Oh sure, uh … hey … um, I'm sorry -- do I know you?"
Leinart: "Yeah, it's Matt Leinart. You know, from USC?"
Cassel: "Oh, right. Matt Leinart. I'm sorry. Good to see you. So, what are you doing here?"
Leinart: "Well, I play for the Cardinals."
Cassel: "You do? The Arizona Cardinals? Oh, wow. I had no idea."
Leinart: "Yeah, I'm the backup right now. But I have my eyes on the top job."
Cassel: "Good for you, Matt. Good for you. Way to stay motivated. Who knows, you get the No. 1 job there, maybe one day you can move on to a better organization."
Leinart: "Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. This is just sort of a stepping stone. So hey, I was wondering if you might want to come over to my place -- I'm throwing a party with some of our old college friends."
Cassel: "Oh, gee, I don't know, Matt. I'm kind of busy with my job. I don't really do that kind of thing anymore, and I haven't seen those people in years. I probably have a game the same day anyway."
Leinart: "It's on Friday."
Cassel: "Yep. I've got a game."
Leinart: "On a Friday? Really? I thought that …"
Cassel (interrupting): "OK, old buddy. I've got to get going -- a whole bunch of media people want to talk to me. Probably some endorsement people, too. But great to see you, Matt, and maybe we can get together sometime."
Leinart: "Sure, that would be awesome! Can I get your cell phone number?"
(Cassel walks off, pretending not to hear him.)
End scene.
