Leaf out on a Limb

[GBG]

Ryan Leaf broke into an injured football players apartment, stole his prescribed hydrocodone, then hauled ass to British Columbia for drug rehab.

If convicted, he faces two-twenty years in jail and is being asked to return to the US to face charges.

Idiot.

R.Leaf has now run the gambit from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Prison will now be his new home after this bone head move. :runaround:

This all went down in 2006 (the break in). He didn't step down and flee until last season. He had seemingly turned his life around and was doing a good job with Qb's at West Texas A&M. Sounds like his penchant for the pain killers did him him.

This article focused on him asking someone for a pill... not the break in.

How can they not have anyone else committing a crime if this is the case? Do not want to be a Leaf apologist or argue he does not deserve prosecution but there is not enough information (in this article at least) to show me this is not going after him more on name recognition than substance.

That is what the local paper said too. It all led back to the break in. It is a horrible fall from what was looking like a really good "feel good" come back story.

Apparently he believed marrying a Chargers cheerleader gave him some amount of street cred and legal immunity.

Street Cred yeah.... Immunity....nah...even for all the things that happen in West Texas and are "overlooked"
