Ryan Leaf sentenced to 5 years in prison (1 Viewer)

Remember when the debate was Manning and Leaf? This is how careers can go in two separate directions.

Former NFL QB and 1998 2nd overall pick Ryan Leaf was sentenced to 5 years in prison for violating probation » http://es.pn/WOEYa8



 
Just realized he has the same lawyer as my dad. He was also our QB coach in College. What a small world.

 
Goodell says the league has no videotape of the event so 2 games. But if they media finds the videotape in the nfl mail room he will up it to a lifetime ban.

 
For a while Leaf latched on to an internet source that sold pills through the mail from Florida, a state on the cusp of pain-management-clinic corruption. He forked over $19 per 10-milligram Percocet pill, or $570 for a tub of 30, from the Sunshine State. I’m currently not short of drug dealers to consult concerning comparative cost structures. At that time, the same pills were peddled at 10 bucks a button on the mean streets of Great Falls, Montana. In a bulk buy they’d probably go for $7 each, about one third of what Leaf was paying.

The setup was ideal until Leaf’s attitude sabotaged him; he refused to give his e-dealer a credit card number. “I was just too mean, man. My mail carrier told me he normally saw only a dozen COD packages a year, yet he’d had eight for me in half that many weeks.” In March 2012 law enforcement launched an investigation. When police searched Leaf’s house they found a pill bottle stashed in a golf bag and traced it to an acquaintance, who claimed Leaf had stolen it. Leaf was charged with burglary and theft.
:doh:

 
I think if society wasn't so racist the annual biggest bust would be referred to as the next jamarcus russell.
Naw. J-Russ failed but it was obvious from the beginning, and he went down quick and without resistance.

Leaf has been a SPECTACULAR failure.

Good story about him on FOX pregame just now. Hope he helps many others with his new career. 
He's been on Dan Patrick many times telling his story.  

He reached out to Johnny Manzel as well. His parents  got back to Ryan but nothing from Johnny.

Survived suicide attempt. Prison. Hard drugs.  

He wasn't the best pro QB and certainly had himself in the crapper for a bit, but I'm absolutely all for a guy turning his life around. Good for him, it's definitely not an easy road.
