Back when I was at The Ohio State University I use to do a school sponsored radio show (yeah I was even Bona Fide back then) and I remember when the 1998 draft was approaching I was 100% behind the Colts taking Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning. Since I was a lot louder than I am now I would tell anyone who would listen that Leaf would be much better than Manning. My theory was that Manning could never win the big game whereas Leaf was physically better and had the type of demeanor to handle pressure situations.
I wasn't that far of far off about Manning choking in big games but in hindsight I probably should have taken into account he was awesome in all the other games. Leaf on the other hand well even the great ones like myself deserve a mulligan.
With that being said I just figured that Leaf would just "Fade to Bolivia" with Mike Tyson since by all accounts he invested his money wisely and we would just hear his name when talking about all time draft busts.
Alas that isn't the case courtesy of our friends at Profootballtalk.com Leaf has been busted Travis Henry style here are the charges:
Former West Texas A&M University coach Ryan Leaf is indicted today by a Randall County Grand Jury.
Leaf was indicted on 7 counts of obtaining a Controlled Substance by Fraud, 1 count of Burglary of a Habitation, and 1 count of Delivery of a Controlled Substance.
The Randall County District Attorney's office says the dates of these charges span from January of 2008 through last October.
This is just a guess, but I bet you he gets less time than Michael Vick. How much you want to put on that?
