Mirror, Mirror on the wall, where has mighty Leon gone?

Has anyone seen that great WR Leon lately?

I know there were some rumors about Leon getting a sitcom lazst year, but I have yet to see his Commercials or sitcom this NFL Season.

I was at least expecting to see Leon working out in his drive way this year.

Have I just been missing these Leon sightings this year? Are there any new Leon commercials comming out this year?

I haven't seen him. Maybe they put Leon out of his misery. The joke was funny for a while, but it got old to me. The last straw for me was when he was being interviewed at a real playoff baseball game by a very embarrassed-looking FOX reporter. Of course, "Leon" was in character the whole time. It was really sad to watch.

Of course, just by saying that I hope he's gone, I've probably resurrected him. You'll probably see him this Sunday.

I had heard rumours that Leon was getting a tv show. Hadn't heard anything else on it, though.

Maybe Leon wanted too much money. Leon's gotta do what Leon's gotta do.

One of the lows in TV and advertising history, no doubt. I recall it.

After thinking about it for a minute, I'm fairly certain it's Budweiser, so I guess my point about how I don't remember it is gone.

If I remember correctly Leon tried to pitch for the Schaumburg Flyers, an independent team, and just got pounded.
