A bench warrant has been authorized for the sports agent who was the inspiration for the movie “Jerry Maguire†after he failed to appear in court in a case involving a $1.4 million debt. An Orange County Superior Court commissioner authorized the warrant after Leigh Steinberg failed to attend court last week, court records show. Court papers show Steinberg was ordered to pay $1.4 million last year to the Irvine Company in a default judgment for office space he leased in Newport Beach. Steinberg stopped paying under the terms of his lease in 2009, according to court papers filed by the landlord, which declined to comment on the case. Steinberg is considered the first super agent in sports, having represented such NFL stars as Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Warren Moon and Ben Roethlisberger, as well as boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
