I know there are way more photos of Matt Leinart at hot tub parties than leading a NFL team, but how can he already have a son old enough to be a Division 1 college QB commit?

Because Leinart is actually Howard's age. In fact, I think Howard may actually be Leinart and his Celtic's fandom is just a red herring in a blind alley.

LOL, your post-election backwoods absinthe is even stronger than mine.

You're going to give an aspiring cartoonist big ideas and they'll try to replace Hagar the Horrible with Howard the Hedonist.

Which is just so wrong.

Let me settle one important point first: I have never been in a hot tub with Matt Leinart. The rumors about me and a towel boy are nothing but vicious fabrication.

Matt Leinart is not even close to my age; actually he is about 1/2 my present 83 years. My son is only 6 years younger than Mr. Leinart. Could I be Matt Leinart? No! It's more likely that Matt Leinart is actually trying to impersonate me in an unsuccessful attempt to be associated with a championship team, even though it might be in another sport.

Howard the Hedonist? These days the only pleasures in life (other than the Celtics) come on the days that I am not scheduled to take my Furosemide (Lasix) medication. Those are the days that I can actually spend more than 2 consecutive hours without having to use the bathroom. While life at the age of 83 has its difficulties, I can look back and see that I more than made up for them in my youth. It's been a great ride, and it might go on for a while yet.
