Last week an Orange County (CA) court bench warrant was issued for the arrest of the man who helped to inspire the movie, "Jerry Maguire."
In public documents available on the Orange County Superior Court’s official website, the Dec. 15, 2011, warrant (pdf) followed a Dec. 13, 2010, Orange County court order that former NFL agent Leigh Steinberg pay The Irvine Company $1,440,038.12 in back rent for office space Steinberg leased beginning in 2003.

...

In addition to his $1,440,038.12 debt to The Irvine Company and $900,000 currently owed Morton, according to Orange County court documents and records Steinberg reportedly owes:

* Wells Fargo (2002 loan): $185,258.00
* American Express (purchase balance): $43,516.00
* IRS (tax lien): $17,384.00
* State of California (tax lien): $10,464.00
* Account Management Services: $7,924.25
* The Irvine Company (back apartment rent) $3,051.97

Mercer County (NJ) court documents also indicate Steinberg owes the state of New Jersey $73,041.00 in back taxes.

Despite the ex-NFL agent’s distressed financial state, last January the LOS ANGELES TIMES reported that Steinberg hosted a high-profile Super Bowl party for the 25th straight NFL season - in a story titled, "Steinberg Still Host With Most."

Steinberg also isn’t letting a private investigator - tailing him on behalf of at least one creditor owed over $1.4 million - affect his insatiable need for the media spotlight. Just two weeks ago, presumably from an undisclosed location, Steinberg publicly lashed out at Arizona State after the school pulled a deal Steinberg was negotiating for then-prospective ASU football coach June Jones. (Jones remained at SMU.)

Bingo - Source of the problem. Pressing a little too hard for the deal, and then reacting poorly since he REALLY needed a commission.

Let me talk to my guy. The stuff in this article is all accurate and Leigh has a major major drinking problem. He mentioned more stuff but I can't remember details and don't want to post it until I can reconfirm.

I wouldn't say anything unless it has been reported by a newspaper or magazine.

Old Chinese Proverb: Man desperate for money with law degree desperate enough to sue for libel. In other words do not post gossip, just the truth. JJ knows Steinberg very well and they are friends.

Yeah, he's broke and drinks cost money. That is a major problem.

Not a bad suggestion. I feel bad for the guy, from what I've been told hes a nice nice guy who has had a tough few years. That said, he made ASU, SMU, June and himself all look really bad.

Maybe he can find a basketball coach instead of trying to ruin our football program...

Desperate times. you make your own bed. He sounds irresponsible.

this would certainly explain June's demeanor when talking about Leigh's involvement in how public the discussions got. At the MC lunch he was saying that leigh had hit a pretty low point in his life.

shame on Irvine Cos for letting a tenant get that arrears in rent. i'm sure it's nice office space, but that's a LOT of rent.
