Dear Steve,
Some searching confirmed your recall.
The song was "The Man I Love".
However, further 'googling' failed to reveal any other musical details.
(Not even on IMDB.)
A thing we have come to live with from film credits down the ages.
Film producers list the star's podiatist, but rarely, if ever, the 
names of the musicians/bands who contributed to the sound track.
[Woody Allen is a notable exception. But then, he loves, and carefully 
selects, his music.]
"Leatherheads" is not due in Oz until 29 May 2008 but as the subject 
matter is of little interest to the average Australian, and 
notwithstanding the presence of the popular George Clooney, I expect 
the film to last no more than two weeks on the big screens here. If 
that. We'll then wait two years for it to appear on cable.
Kind regards,
Bill.
