Matt Leinart, Gay-Friendly Editor in Chief

In the new issue of ESPN Magazine, the hunky Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart loosens up poking a little fun at his infamous drop in last year's NFL draft, fessing up to his Tom Brady envy and Andy Roddick admiration, showing a little baby love, and revealing a sensitive, gay-friendly side that you don't often equate with macho jocks, something he'd bring to the table if he were in charge of the mag: "My favorite article recently was the John Amaechi piece. That was excellent. I appreciate and respect people who are open. That's hard, especially being an athlete. Why aren't there more in-depth articles written by athletes." Kudos to Matt for speaking up. It may seem like a small thing, but it goes a long way.
