Matt Escapes Long Arm of Law: Free To Bong

Matt Leinart will not be charged with funneling alcohol to minors....even though there may be proof (as in 12 proof) to the contrary.

Pictures of Leinart surfaced earlier this week. At least Matty boy didn't use his million dollar throwing arm to deliver a 12 ounce shot to the face -- the face of what appears to be a drunk chick. The question, is the beer bong-ee underage? Drinking age in Arizona is 21.

The Maricopa County Sherriff's office tells TMZ they are not investigating. They just don't wanna know if Matt's rat can legally drink. The Sheriff says pictures aren't enough to charge someone with a crime. Well, they could talk to the chicks...we're just sayin'.

16. Stop treating Matt as if he was an ordinary college kid. He's a PRO FOOTBALL player and he's behaving like a spoiled little white trashy brat.

18. Where's ANY indication that the girls are underage? Their appearance isn't such to indicate that they are more likely than not underage; clearly the pictures alone are not enough to establish probable cause for warrants to be issued. Second, why would anyone want taxpayer money wasted trying to track down these girls, who, per their Fifth Amendment rights, would be well advised not to answer any questions posed by the authorities?

Let's face it, the police will decline to investigate cases of underage drinking that THEY ACTUALLY WITNESS; it's absurd to suggest that based on inferences drawn from pictures from a specious source of incidents that cannot be corroborated by witness testimony the authorities should waste taxpayer money and fly in the face of traditional American rule of law to investigate what is under most states' laws, a petty offense.

TMZ really needs to get a life, and Harvey needs to pay better attention at his CLE courses, assuming they require CLE for California "lawyers."

21. What happened to the nice catholic young man from Mater Di High School. I would have more respect for him if he was putting some of his time into his foundation, that is to help kids. where are you!!

22. rookie punk had his collar bone broken after 5 games last season...this season he has been appointed the starter already--my hope is that many a competing nfler saw these photos and now want to break more than a collar bone on his skany ass. I would give anything to see Brian Urlacher crush him badly.

He has now become the nfl poster boy for bad behaviour...and here you all thought it was just black players that could be bad.

the guys white trash as they come and I wish him nothing but pain and suffering the rest of his playing days.

27. I don't know about the under-age girls, but that picture alone is disgusting. Some role model for kids.

28. What a joke and embarrassment for the NFL. I give this guy 1 more year and I bet he'll be out of the NFL. LOSER !

29. Shut up DNA we could care less about Leinart and his stupid personal affairs, if only he'd keep them private. We, nor any kid out there who loves football need to see his trashy way to have fun.

30.

Which by definition of course means you do care.

The correct phrase is "we couldn't care less."

Words do have meaning.
