Ryan Leaf suspended again... (1 Viewer)

Ryan Leaf, the legendary NFL quarterback bust, was placed on leave today from his position as quarterbacks coach at West Texas A&M. ESPN's Joe Schad reports that the suspension came after Leaf asked one of his players for a painkiller.

Presumably Leaf was asking for something a little stronger than Tylenol or Advil. What isn't known is how the incident came to light. Did somebody overhear the question? Did Leaf get a guilty conscience? Did the player narc on his coach?

The latter seems to be the most likely. I'd imagine it has to be a little strange to play for Ryan Leaf. Anytime the coach critiques a player, the kid must be thinking, "Dude, you're Ryan Leaf. What can you tell me about quarterbacking? I was at that game when you went 11-26 with two picks and threw a pass that hit your center in the thigh. And you're telling me to 'keep my wits under pressure.' Just like you did when you flipped out on that reporter, right?"

Leaf, who also coaches the school's golf team will be on leave "indefinitely."

If the incident is true, it's not too surprising. After all, Ryan Leaf never was very good at trying to score.

First off -- :honda:

Second, he wasn't suspended. He took a voluntary leave of absense, possibly to enter rehab for painkiller addiction.

Al Davis can hook him up
I don't even think Al Davis is alive. I think someone is just moving him around like they did on "Weekend At Bernies".
You're not the only one.I was watching football with my 4 year-old son and flipped by the Raiders game just as the camera zoomed in on Al in the owner's box. My son says "ugggh, is that guy dead?" :hophead:

What kind of player rats out his coach?
Please tell me you're kidding?If not...please tell me you are NOT in a position to teach kids and plan to never have any of your own, because that is one of the most disgusting posts I've read in here in quite a while.

I'd go through any such ringer that pays what that one did.

Smart kid...you should have him enter a dead pool...he could make you some $$$ ;)
 
by all accounts Leaf had grown up a lot and apparently turned his life around and was doing some good work with the QBs at A&M. Despite the fact that Leaf was a cocky SOB as a 21 year old kid - It's too bad there are people that take pleasure from the failures of others.

That's because he's white. If he was black, all these cracks would be racist.
