Glazer Training MMA With Leinart Seems A Little Too Close for Comfort

So, how has Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart been spending his offseason? Why, he's doing some MMA training with FOX Sports' NFL reporter, Jay Glazer, of course.

Above is video evidence of one of Leinart's intense training sessions at Arizona Combat Sports. Even UFC fighters, Ryan Bader and Aaron Simpson, make an appearance to talk about Leinart's passion for MMA training.

Glazer, who is 1-1 in his professional MMA career and has done live play-by-play for Affliction, as well as hosted PRIDE FC and EliteXC highlights show for FOX Sports Net, often trains with the fighters at Arizona Combat Sports and has even walked out to the cage with them in the past. But he doesn't cover them for a living. He does, however, cover the NFL and Matt Leinart. With that in mind, I find it very strange to see him working out with a pro football player. What happens next year if Leinart is involved in a big story on or off the field? How can Glazer remain objective?

Glazer famously trained Minnesota Vikings' defensive end Jared Allen last season, too. I can certainly appreciate the fact that he is introducing MMA to other sports stars, but this all seems a little too chummy for my liking.
