SACKMARINO Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Get er done Buddy! Bail him out and sign him to backup Fitz.
Steve O Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Take the high road guys... I hope he turns his life around in a positive way! Hope for the best, but after posting bail for the charges this thread was started with, he was just arrested again today (Monday) http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2012/04/ryan-leaf-arrested-for-second-time-in-three-days/1

Reminds me of the story making the rounds about Leaf around the time he came out when he allegedly tried to put the moves on some other NFL QB's wife, telling her her hubby was washed up and Leaf was the new sheriff in town or some such. I don't wish him ill, but what goes around comes around. Sounds like karma's whacked him, but good. If that story is true, it would be funny for him to run into that QB and his wife today.....

jwmann2 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Wasn't there a Real Sports segment on him, too? I felt bad for him, too, but it seemed like he had put his life together. I guess he's getting more examples together of what not to do. Art Schlicter had a gambling problem. Ryan Leaf is a straight up thief. Sad though, he was a great talent in college and could have at least made it into the coaching ranks almost immediately.
truth on hold Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) He looks fairly content, almost happy, in the first set. The second looks a lot more like a mug shot should. Perhaps more interesting he looks a lot younger and healthier than Payton manning, the guy he'll always be compared. Makes you wonder about the toll NFL takes on a body, worse than drugs and poverty Edited April 3, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) HELENA, MT—Criminal and football analysts announced Monday that, in light of his second arrest for felony burglary in just four days, former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf is now officially performing even worse as a criminal than he did as a disastrous 2nd overall pick for the San Diego Chargers. "Make no mistake, Ryan Leaf is still the worst draft bust of all time," Sports Illustrated's Peter King said. "But two arrests mere days apart for attempting to steal oxycodone from private residences when he's already serving a 10-year probation? That is a truly remarkable achievement. Leaf is soon going to make us forget all about his football career." In related news, future NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning, the only player chosen ahead of Leaf in the 1998 draft, walked off with $250 million in a complex Monaco heist so perfect it will take casino owners weeks to realize it happened at all. http://www.theonion....football,27861/ Edited April 6, 2012 by San Jose Bills Fan

Orton's Arm Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I always hate to see a Leaf Fall. Sorry, best I could do on short notice. I may blossom later. Unless Leaf gets back to his roots, then sooner or later some punk with a gun will blow him away.
