Yesterday we briefly mentioned the recent interview with Brynn Cameron (aka the USC basketball player Matt Leinart knocked up) where she dispelled the notion that Matt Leinart is an awesome absentee dad, a notion that Leinart himself has encouraged with the media.

In light of all this we thought we’d catch up with Leinart and ask him few questions. He asked us to meet him at a martini bar in Phoenix. We pretend it went something like this:

NextRound: What’s up, dude? Been a while. Are you buying?

Matt Leinart: You asked me to do the interview. Why would I be buying?

NR: Because you signed like a $10 Mil signing bonus and we just bought a racehorse and are about broke.

ML: OK, whatever. (To the bartender) I’ll have a Cosmo, and they’ll have…

NR: We’ll have a beer. Dude, a Cosmo is pretty gay. Why’d you order that? We’re kind of uncomfortable sitting next to you now. You might as well have asked the bartender to mix you up a blowjob shot.

ML: I like them. They’re not gay. They were cool in LA.

NR: Sure they were. Anyway…rough day in the press for you, huh? Sounds like that chick you knocked up doesn’t like you pretending to be #1 dad.

ML: Yeah, she was pretty brutal.

NR: Why in the hell did you tell People you love changing diapers then? That was dumb. Real dumb. You violated illegitimate dad rule #1: Never brag about being an illegitimate dad.

ML: I don’t know what I was thinking. You just start talking sometimes. I let some shit slip out that I shouldn’t have. The chick that was interviewing me was pretty hot. I guess I was trying to impress her.

NR: You sure it wasn’t a dude? You did just order a Cosmo.

ML: It was a girl.

NR: Man, claiming to like changing diapers is a stupid move when you’re you.

ML: I know.

NR: Yeah, but we mean like dumb as shit. Really fucking stupid.

ML: I told you I realize it was a dumb move. (Downs Cosmo.)

NR: Because you know that chick has an axe to grind. You’re a pro QB and her life kind of sucks. And it’s kind of your fault. Why were you dating some 6′5″ basketball player anyway? Why were you dating anyone when you were at USC?

ML: I was dating like ten chicks back then.

NR: Well, we guess that makes us feel better about the Cosmo. She is a basketball player, though. Is she hot at all? We’ve only seen shots of her in high tops. High tops are not flattering.

ML: She’s definitely hot.

NR: If you say so. We can’t get past the high tops. It’s like she has no ankles or maybe just big cankles. Not sure…By the way, what’s Nick Lachey like? Is he kind of a douche? We can’t tell.

ML: He’s awesome.

NR: Cosmo-drinking awesome or standard awesome?

ML: Standard awesome. Well, this has been fun, but I need to get going.

NR: Where to? Are there diapers to change?

ML: (Looks like he may punch us.)

NR: Just kidding, Matty. Just kidding. Lighten up. OK, that’s cool you have to go. We’ll catch you later. Tell Lachey to tell that Vanessa chick to shoot us a text. She’ll know what it means.

ML: Will do.
