For some reason, Leinart's reaction after the game didn't bother me. To me it was the words a champion would say. I'm sure after every game Jordan lost he felt they shouldn't have. Because of that I respect Leinart. Unfortunately I haven't seen that same passion/confidence/whatever in the NFl and it disappoints me. But, the fact is that I respect people who always expect to win, regardless of who they are going up against (and VY, btw, epitomizes that)
(also in contrast, it bugged me when Bush said he'd have to get used to losing when going to the Texans instead of believing he could turn them around singlehandedly, which again is something VY would never do)
