Ryan Leaf Is A Wanted Man In Texas

Unwanted by the NFL for years, quarterback Ryan Leaf soon will find a home.
In jail.
Indicted on May 20 for nine counts relating to drugs and burglary, the second overall pick in the 1998 draft remains at large.
“At one point he said he was going to turn himself in,” Randall County prosecutor Lacy Miller told the San Diego Union-Tribune.  “He hasn’t turned himself in yet, and if he gets picked up he’s going to be arrested.  If he gets picked up out of our jurisdiction, then we will extradite him or use whatever means we have to get him back.  Right now he is a wanted individual.”
Leaf allegedly broke into an apartment in Canyon, Texas on October 30 and stole an unknown amount of Hydrocodone pills.  Leaf also allegedly took a West Texas A&M player’s Hydrocodone pills and replaced them with fakes.
Leaf had been working as an assistant coach at West Texas A&M.  He was placed on leave after allegedly asking a player for a pain pill.

  1. What a sad, sad man. Gives new meaning to the term “bust” each and every day.

  2. Damn, I know a lot of people are going to justifably hate on Leaf but I really hope dude gets his life together.
    I can’t fathom the amount of regret he’ll have as an old man. If he lives that long.

  3. Do you think Racheal Nichols will camp outside of his parents house to see if he gets caught and/or comes out of retirement?

  4. I hear the Mean Machines are looking for a new QB – maybe they can finally stick it to the warden.

  5. Man, I feel sorry for the poor bastard. Addicted to pain killers, broke and he’s the one man everyone in the media loves to hate.

  6. Did Leaf blow all that money he made for his rookie contract? I think he made $11 million bucks his first year in the league if I remember correctly. And now he’s robbing apartments for prescription drugs?
    Damn Leaf, you really are an idiot. Wow.
    Maybe you and Art Schlichter should get together and have a discussion about who messed up their lives worse? LOL

  7. its too easy to pile on to this pathetic wretch.what goes around comes around and cryin ryan is the poster boy for that.

  8. Man this guy really is sad. How can you be so unstoppable in college and be so bad in the pros
    Charles Rogers, Tim Couch, Drew Henson, Andre Ware, Akilee Smith, all Notre Dame QBs after Montana

  9. “Did he even play in the NFL long enough to have a chronic pain condition?”
    You’d be surprised what a toll it takes on the body to throw a pass and then have to run down and tackle the defender who intercepted it.

    The Browns could use a new quarterback! Suck it Cleveland!!!
    Hey, thanks for dropping the Bubby Brister poster and freeing a hand long enough to type! You’re a moron.

  11. Tim Couch wasn’t all that bad. He got drafted by a bad team then got beat to a pulp. The curse of the #1 pick quarterback.

  12. hey im taking hydrocodone pills right now because I had surgery on my left big toe because it had an ingrown toenail in it lol.

  13. No one likes to hear that a guy is this messed up, even if he couldn’t play football very well at the pro level and he said/did some stupid things in his brief stay as a young qb. I would love to see him get his act together and come back and play (Randall Cunningham style) but at this point I don’t see this ending well..
    Too bad.

  14. This is a bad story that is not going to end well. 50/50 he just shoots himself. I used to like to bag on him like everyone else, but this is beyond being a joke nfl player with a big attitude, the very definition of the meaning of BUST. He has been living in a one room shithole in West Texas, which is as close to the end of the earth as it gets. Hard to feel bad for him given the opportunities he has had in his life, but I have a bad feeling about this.

  15. I’m not a Leaf fan but he made it to the highest level of football. None of us reading this site can say that. Unfortunate that he is addicted to pain-killers. At least he didn’t kill dogs, just his brain cells.

  16. This is the first time someone has wanted Leaf in almost 10 years.
    How could so many scouts have been so wrong?

  17. Can’t wait to watch the ESPN E:60 story on Ryan Leaf.
    Does Fox still do Beyond the Glory?
