Turning Over The Same Old Ryan Leaf

You’ve gotta turn over a new leaf, ’cause that old one’s turning on you.  We’ve gotta turn over a new leaf and let your love come on through.  -Bad Religion

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Can it get any worse?  Hasn’t he had enough?  Isn’t this adding insult to injury?  Literally?    

Wasn’t being on ESPN’s list of the fifty biggest NFL draft busts and their list of the twenty-five Biggest Sports Flops between 1979 and 2004 enough?  Isn’t the constant questioning, draft after draft, as to who will be the next Ryan Leaf enough?  Wasn’t being replaced by the inimitable Craig Whelihan enough?  Wasn’t berating Jay Posner enough?  Heckling fans during practice?  Getting into a shouting match with Bobby Beathard?  Lying about a hand injury to get out of practice to play golf?  Playing flag football in Ocean Beach while supposedly rehabilitating shoulder and wrist injuries?  Wasn’t it all enough?

Apparently not.  Ryan Leaf was placed on leave today from his position as quarterbacks’ coach at West Texas A&M.  The suspension came after Leaf asked one of his players for a painkiller.  Running for the shelter of his mother’s little helper.  Couldn’t he of just gone to a doctor?  On a side note, Leaf is also the men’s golf coach at the school.  Who knew?

Public Spectacle:

Peace out homies.  Six Two and Even!
