and I believe might as well. I don't see anybody worse at this position. The biggest draft bust in NFL history. Let's get it going. Especially a quarterback because your biggest bust is going to be quarterback because it's the most high profile.

And this guy is a complete fucking idiot. The worst. He's the worst. I hope you've been enjoying everything. I hope you like Gavin Grant,

montana yep and uh ryan's a big boy yeah ryan's a big kid yeah he's 6 5 235 farmhand he came in he's a big corn fed white boy cattle wrestling cattle rustling motherfucker motherfucker yeah he goes to charles m Russell High School in Great Falls. He leads the team to a Montana state title. Attaboy. Now, that's a great accomplishment. I don't know if that's hard to do in Montana. There's like 14 people there.

And two schools. And two schools. And I don't think there's any black people to compete with. So, it's probably pretty easy to do. And a 6'5 is definitely the biggest dude there. Probably. I mean, I don't know. Half the teams are probably staffed with cattle.

Right. Like, safety. Like, we'll put Bessie out there at safety. Probably. I mean, I don't know if they all had... Half the teams were probably staffed with cattle for safety. Like, we'll put Bessie out there at safety and then we'll... He's throwing the football down is what he's doing. He's definitely doing that. He goes to... He thought about playing for the University of Miami, which kind of would have fit this idiot. Yeah. Like, he wanted to... They were

recruiting him as a linebacker. Jesus. That's a big linebacker. He's a big boy. But they're recruiting him as a linebacker. Jesus. He's a big linebacker. Yeah. He's a big boy. But they're recruiting him as a linebacker. He decides to go to Washington State instead. Good old Wazoo. Good old Wazoo goes there. And we'll find out why, because the coach that recruited him there called him. He was watching.

He was the Washington State coach. Yep. And he called Ryan Leaf. Personally. And he said, if you come here, we're going to go to the Rose Bowl. Yeah. Which sounded ridiculous because Washington State hadn't been to the Rose Bowl since 1931. At this point.

Literally. He's like, Robert Rozier, we're going to the Rose Bowl. We're going to the Rose Bowl. That's exactly what this was. Right. But the coach is telling him this. And I can't help. I think it was, what is it?

Mike Price was their coach. All right. Sounds right. Mike Price was their coach. And I can't help but think he's a silver-haired, white, middle-aged gentleman. He just has to be. He's got to be. He has to be because, as you'll hear later, he's a complete idiot.

I may have to Google that man's face. Go on. Coach Mike Price. Yeah, Google him, find out. I'm assuming he is. I don't know why I didn't look up his look, but I know his career. In college, he has a great college career. Yeah.

His junior season, I mean, he has a great college career yeah his junior season i mean he was a beast he was third in the heisman voting which you don't know anything about football heisman is the best college football player in the country right that year he was third behind charles woodson who just retired and is a future nfl hall of famer and peyton manning who just retired as a also hall of famer hall of fam. So, I mean, that was one and two in the Heisman balloting. He was three. He had 3,968 yards, 34 touchdowns, and 11 picks in his junior year. That's incredible.

We're talking, that's like 11 games. Yeah. This isn't an NFL 16-game season. 39 touchdowns with 11 picks. 34. 34 touchdowns and 11 picks. Yeah, that's a 3-to-1 ratio. That's terrific.

Shitload of yards in like 11 games. It's great. So, I mean, he's looking like a prospect. Takes Washington State to the Rose Bowl in his junior year. He did it. Actually did it. Took them to the Rose Bowl. They lose the Rose Bowl, but he played a hell of a game, too.

I watched that game. He played a really good game. He's, you know, they actually did it. So, I mean, for him to take Washington State to the Rose Bowl, and he has a cannon for an arm. Sure does. He's one of these guys. Big arm.

He can make all the throws. And Mike Price, ladies and gentlemen, is a silver-haired, middle-aged, white gentleman with glasses. Exactly as we knew he fucking was. Unbelievable. What a shocker. Weird. Weird. These guys just fucking save me.

Always one of them. They're always around these scumbags. Anyway, go on. So, yeah, Leafs got a cannon for an arm. Weird. Weird. These guys just fucking save me. Always one of them. They're always around these scumbags. Anyway, go on. So, yeah, Leafs got a cannon for an arm. Right. Scouts, they like him. Basically, it's who's going to be the number one draft pick. Is it going to be Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning?

Right. That was obviously the big thing. Rose Bowl champion. We all know that. Peyton Manning. Was the national champ, right? No, no, no. He wasn't, but he was Peyton Manning.

He didn't win a national championship at Tennessee? He never won a national championship. He did not. No shit? That was his big deal there. They ended up, but he was Peyton Manning. He didn't win a national championship at Tennessee? He never won a national championship. He did not. No shit? That was his big deal there. They ended up winning after he left with a shit quarterback. That's what it is. But not him.

So Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf, as we all know, that were 1-2. They go to the combine. Leaf puts on 20 pounds between the Rose Bowl and the combine. Holy shit. So he's not a real hard worker when it comes to conditioning. He's like, I'm going to the nfl they either make me a coat or a quarterback or a lineman he comes in a bloated fuck man i'm telling you so i mean and this is the they you look you can't doubt his physical skills yeah for the nfl

6-5-2-35 or 2-55 by the combine whatever and a cannon arm it's a talented athlete it's a guy you want on your team but there's some concerns pro football weekly in 1998 said about him in the negatives department quote very self-confident to the point where some people view him as being arrogant and almost obnoxious that's what was said about him and that's which sometimes you look at a quarterback and that's what brett farve had that's what and you go that's what cam newton that's what Dan Marino was. You go, all right, but you want a little swagger out of the guy, but not quite to the extent of this level of jerk-off. He's like ultra-dabbing. Oh, my God.

He's a complete fucking idiot. On the field, he's very emotional and things like that. And Coach Mike Price, our silver-haired gentleman of the week here, it's like we have an athlete, a dipshit of the week, and then we have a silver-haired white guy who helped him get away with shit. Who propped him up. Coach Mike Price swears that once you get to know him, Leaf is a great person.

If you have to say the words once you get to know him about a person, he's a shitbag. Not a great person right there. But he disagrees. Now, San Diego, the Chargers, they're in the number three draft pick position. Gotcha. Colts are at one. Colts take Manning, as we all know.

He plays there. We know Manning's history. San Diego's flip-flops trades with Arizona for number two to make sure to get Leaf. They can't let him out of his sight. They pick Leaf number two. Overall, they give him his initial deal is the biggest rookie contract in nfl history he gets 31.25 million over four years with 11.25 million dollars guaranteed that's guaranteed money that guy big cash that's big cash who did arizona pick that year uh they picked uh who was

it um god damn it i do have oh they picked andre wadsworth oh andre wadsworth who was it God damn it I do have Oh they picked Andre Wadsworth Oh alright Andre Wadsworth Who was a total flop Blew out his knee Had the reconstructive Whatever the break

Micro fracture surgery Yeah But other picks They could have had After Leaf Yeah In the first round Include Charles Woodson

Yep The aforementioned Future Hall of Famer Amazing cornerback Who went number four To Raiders Could have had him With the number three.

Didn't have to move. Fred Taylor at number nine, who was a great running back for about 11, 12. Still plays, doesn't he? He was great. I don't think so. He's a running back. Yeah, I think he still plays. I don't think he played for a while, though.

He played for like 12, 13 years. Jacksonville picks him. Number 11, Trey Thomas, the longtime offensive tackle for the Eagles. They pick him. 13, Takeo Spikes, the great middle linebacker for Cincinnati. Fucking great player. Number 21 is Randy goddamn Moss with Minnesota. Wow.

About the third greatest receiver in the history of the league. Yeah. But you take this dipshit. Fine. Unbelievable. I get it. You want a franchise quarterback. I understand what's going on.

But this was not the right guy to take apparently um right away um he uh it starts out a little a little shaky for him he his uh fine ten thousand dollars for missing day one of the rookie symposium so right away he's an idiot he missed the the actual day that they tell him all the bad shit yeah not to not to do. That's maybe what happened to him. Maybe if he was there for that day, they gave him some notes. He missed orientation. I've heard a story, by the way. It's so funny. I forget who told me

it, but he was an NFL player. They bring a woman in that's hot as shit and she just goes, how many of you, if you met me, would buy me a drink at a bar? And these 20-year-old kids, 18, 19-year-old kids in the back of the room are, like, whistling at her. And they're like, I'll buy you a drink right now, bitch.

And saying, like, horrible shit to her. They're idiots. And the young guys with money. She lets them all catcall her and holler at all this shit. And then she goes, I have AIDS. And then they're all like... And then they're all like, oh, no, bitch, I wouldn't buy you shit.

I wouldn't buy you nothing. It's too late, motherfucker. You already have AIDS by this point. god it's fucking awesome so that's what ryan leaf missed out on he missed the aids talk too bad he didn't miss too bad he missed the pill talk right on day one and watch out for how many of you would buy me pills how many of you would would steal pills for me it would have been a better so leaf said after he got drafted, he says, I'm looking forward to a 15-year career and a parade through downtown San Diego. Holy shit. That's his hubris.

The day after the draft, he goes to Vegas on the owner's jet. The owner lets him borrow the private jet to go to Vegas. Here you go, jerk-off 21-year-old quarterback. He parties all night long. He has a press conference in the morning that's introducing him as the new san diego number one you know 11 and a half million guaranteed dollar quarterback and he shows up red-eyed you can find the press conference somewhere he is red-eyed yawning through the whole thing he's just like he had a rough night he tied one on and then he shows up introducing himself to the world which is awesome so he's essentially like he had a rough night he tied one on and then he shows up introducing himself to

the world which is awesome so he's essentially what is now uh fuck face johnny football yes johnny that's gonna come back too because ryan leaf is gonna tie that in himself i love it he's gonna he you'll see we'll get well there's a johnny manziel tie yeah so this is just idiots about idiot quarterbacks i mean with with the Vegas partying and everything, he's essentially just, he's fucking mirroring Ryan Leaf's career. He's a fucking idiot. Yeah, absolutely. Leaf actually somehow lasted longer, I guess,

because he got $11 million guaranteed dollars. Right, because he became the starter. Manziel was his number 25 draft pick. On a team that had a couple extra quarterbacks. So he comes in right away. We'll get through the sports stuff into the crime crime in a second but he's such an idiot you have to know about his career even if you don't know anything about sports you have to know his career to see the pattern of what a fucking moron we're dealing with the evolution of this guy yeah the

complete just falling apart of a guy who is the world by the balls right and everyone's fawning over him i mean he's gonna be great whatever fawning over him. I mean, he's going to be great, whatever. Wins his first two games. And now he's sitting pretty. I remember this. He was like, people were like, look at you. Number two draft to go to Raw. Peyton Manning had a struggling rookie year, if you remember.

He had more picks than touchdowns. That's true. So, I mean, they were looking like, the first two games, they were like, San Diego might have got the better of that deal, you know. Then he just turned to shit. Things just, after the first two games, the NFL. That's all he could hold it together for. Completely falls apart.

He's doing dumb shit, like, you know, during the week, these quarterbacks watch film for, like, 14 hours a day. That's all they do. He's out, like, golfing at, like, you know, 3 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon. You can't do that if you're an NFL quarterback, you know? Especially a rookie. Also, too, the AFC West was fairly competitive at this time, I believe. It was competitive, yeah.

The Chiefs and Raiders were both good. The Broncos were bad at that point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they had Bubby Brister. That was right after Elway retired. So that was like the Brian Greasy, Bubby Brister. Yeah, it was bad times. Awful.

Terrible. Missing John Elway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's basically what they were doing. So anyway, they get... He gets through his rookie year. It does not go well at all. His rookie year is a pile of shit.

His rookie year, he has a 45.3 completion percentage. Wow. I mean, less than half. Yeah. 1,289 yards. Here's the stat. Two touchdowns, 15 picks. 15 picks.

I mean, without those picks, those numbers are pretty impressive if you're the number one receiver on a team. Those are great. All of the quarterbacks are injured as the emergency. Right, and you're an amazing receiver. That's great. It's good for a punter who played high school or who played quarterback in high

school and they bring him in because all their quarterbacks got injured. But I mean, if you're the receiver and you're catching that amount of yards and getting that amount of touchdowns, you're incredible. Yeah. But as a quarterback doling that shit out to your entire team, you are 100% garbage. You're garbage. That's 11 million pissed away. 1999 season, he is injured, done for the season,

20 minutes in a training camp. Torn shoulder, Lee Abram, done for the year, 20 minutes in. Literally, like, he got his uniform on, got everything pressed, ran out there. Threw three passes. There were still guys tying their shoes in the locker room being like, what you back for, right? You got to take a shit or something?

And he's like, no, done for the year. Shoulder, done, just done. Did you jock strap? What happened? What? My pad's on yet. Your shoulder? You got to take a shit or something? And he's like, no, done for the year. Shoulder, done, just done. Did you jock strap? What happened? What? My pad's on you. Shoulder. You're done already?

Shit. So he's done, which obviously is awful. Things in training camp, he gets in a fight with a fan. Has to be restrained. The fans heckling him, telling him he makes Heath Shuler look like a good draft pick. Just a great insult. Heath Shuler's a United States congressman at this point, too, which is funny as shit. But a terrible quarterback drafted in the top five by the Redskins

a couple years before that. It was a disaster. Heath Shuler. And he's a Republican congressman, too, so whatever. Anyway, so, yeah, he gets into a fight. He's held back by security and all that. And also, too, in his rookie year, the most famous fight of all is this tirade he gets into with the San Diego Union Trib tribune reporter jay posner he asked him a question leaf is just says he's not going to

answer questions anymore if he keeps asking guy asked him again and you see leaf on this video and we all saw it a million times you look it up on youtube brian leaf freak out i'm sure you'll find it he stands up and throws something down and like a child that has a tantrum he says he said just stop i'm not gonna talk to you anymore right i'm not gonna just leave me alone he starts freaking out and this poor guy is sitting on a bench and leaf is standing and he's 6 5 240 22 year old athlete and this poor bastard sitting there with his notepad in his hand like uh 22 year old athlete with $11 million in the bank and a fucking career that's already imploding.

Oh, my God. At this point. Yeah, because they're asking him about his poor play. That's the point. He's having a shit fit. Junior Seau, as we know, is a Hall of Fame linebacker who ended up killed himself, shot himself. Junior Seau. He's restraining him on the video, pulling him away. He's like the team veteran. who ended up killed himself, shot himself, that junior say out.

He's restraining him on the video, pulling him away. And, you know, he's like the team veteran. He's great at restraining people. He's great at restraining lunatics, apparently. And, you know, that was a huge deal, too. That was, like, amazing. Leave me alone. In 2000, he has a good final preseason game,

throws a game-winning touchdown pass against Arizona, and the cover of SI the next week, Sports Illustrated, was a picture of Ryan Leaf, and it said, Back from the Brink. It was a fluff piece on how he's going to reemerge as this amazing quarterback, and that didn't work out. No. He ends up having a god-awful career.

He was still on the brink. Another terrible year in 2000. 11 touchdowns, 18 picks. San Diego finally gets shit cans, and they're done with him after three years. They're leaving money on the table. They're paying him to leave. Go away. Go away.

You're a jerk-off. Causes untold problems. 2001, he marries a San Diego Charger cheerleader named Nicole Lucia. They are separated in 2003. And later divorced, obviously. Clearly, that's not going to work out. His career isn't going to last. How's the marriage?

Yeah, duh. She's a fucking cheerleader. So he goes and plays with Tampa for training camp of 2001. Is asked to take a pay cut and a demotion to fourth string. Fourth string? Who the fuck keeps four demotion to fourth string. Fourth string? Who the fuck keeps four quarterbacks, number one? Fourth string? That's basically the peanut guy.

Was that the year they won the Super Bowl? 2001 it was, yeah. 2001 they won the Super Bowl. And who did they win with? Was it Dilfer? They could have been a fourth string. Yeah, Brad Johnson. It was a Brad Johnson, right?

So Brad Johnson and then two other guys and Ryan. And Ryan. But he says no. They cut him. Dallas, of course, the only franchise that picks up jackasses besides the Raiders. They take it to the next level, Dallas. Greg Hardy? What'd you do?

Slam a woman's head in the toilet seat? Come on down, buddy. What was the other guy's name? You killed your teammate in a DUI accident? No problem. Come on. Stand on the sidelines for the Thanksgiving Day. We'll get into Greg Hardy when we do the domestic violence all-star team

because he's the captain. Domestic violence all-star team? We're doing the domestic violence all-star team. Yeah, that's in the future, guys. Like one of those summertime things are real slow. Domestic violence all-star team. We'll charge things right up. It's coming.

It's coming, guys. So, yeah yeah he goes to dallas has a terrible season they're shocking doesn't play that much 494 yards one touchdown three picks pile of shit basically um 2002 signs with seattle but he's released but he retires before the season starts they give him a chance mike holmgren gives him a chance he retires 2004 2000 2002 he retires at the end of the season age 26 that's it he says i'm done 26 years old he's so he has injuries and blah blah blah but mike holmgren later says that he said his wrist didn't hurt there in dallas thinks he was just using it as

an excuse because he just didn't want to do it anymore basically um so he's done before we get into the crime here career numbers 21 games started yeesh 11 and a half million yeesh so he's like making half a million a game basically to start was 4 and 17 career as a starter wow 48.4 completion percentage 14 touchdowns 36 picks i feel like i feel like i could put those exact same numbers up i'm a a 35-year-old 5'8 man. Yeah, well, I feel like this is if you play, like, all pro level on Madden. This is what your numbers are, you know? He has a 50 quarterback rating. That is dreadful.

Career yardage of 36.66. So he had more yardage in his junior year of college. Then he did his entire career. But he made a lot more money. Yeah. Rodney Harrison, who's a broadcaster now and an NFL player for years. Did he make the Hall of Fame yet?

He should if he did. He will. He's great. He said, quote, he took the money and ran. Shit, yeah, he did. Personally, I could never rest good at night knowing my career ended like that.

Normally, you get back what you put into it. Says a man with Super Bowl rings. Normally, you get back what you put into it. Says a man with Super Bowl rings. Normally you get back what you put into it, and he pretty much got back what he put into it. 11.5 million in the worst stat line I've ever seen in a quarterback. He got way more back than what he put into it, though. Yeah, he fucking did put everything in. He was pretty good at getting a return.

Plenty of dough back. It's like a Ponzi scheme. Yeah, so speaking of that, what does he. It's like a Ponzi scheme. Yeah, so... Speaking of that, what does he do next? Speaking of Ponzi schemes, he doesn't do a Ponzi scheme, but he moves back to San Diego to become a financial consultant.

What the fuck? Who would consult this guy on what to do with their money? I'd rather give it to Lenny Dykstra. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not doing anything that you do, sir. Holy shit.

I will invest in eddie johnson's fucking vcr pawning business before i will give this guy a dime invest in ed hardy stock first fucking unbelievable um so apparently that wasn't very successful because in 2004 he decides he's going to go back to school at washington state his alma mater he's a hero there they love him uh goes back there graduates with a bachelor's in humanities in 2005. Oh, the humanity. Oh, the humanity that's about to come because then it falls apart. On a side note here, his younger brother Brady is the backup quarterback,

and he's a cornerback too at University of Oregon. Today? No, he was in 2003 through 2006. I had no idea. He's a backup quarterback up there. I didn't either. 2003 through 2006. I had no idea.

He's a backup quarterback up there. I didn't either. In 2006, he goes and joins the West Texas A&M University coaching staff, football team, as a voluntary QB's coach. He's not getting paid. From his statement, it sounds like basically he's just like, I want to go hang out around college shit. No one will hire me. I like football. around college shit. No one will hire me. I like football.

I like football. No one will hire me. Hey, you mind if I hang around? I once got a paycheck from the NFL. Yeah, does that qualify me? I can give you some pointers on what not to do. Let me show you my Rose Bowl highlights. So he joins them as a QB coach.

In 2006, he said, this is when shit falls apart. Prime coming right out of the corner. 2006, he says, quote, in their own words, fire it up. Here we go. He says, quote, about a year after retiring from playing, I decided I wanted to go back to college where I had the greatest time of my life and get involved with college football. Yeah, I want to go back and drink beer. Yeah.

And I'd be a jerk off frat boy. Glory days. Yeah. He's actually going to think he and drink beer and I'd be a jerk off frat boy. Glory days. He's actually going to think he wants to do it though, for real. I want to make some kid do an atomic push up. He's like 30 years old. He's like 30 and he's like, I want to go back to college and be a jerk off. Run around with my balls out and put my ass in a dude's face.

He does this, yeah. I'm sure he did a lot of it. Then we get to November of 2008 where one day out of the blue he's put on indefinite leave of the coaching staff and then resigns the next day yeah because there's a shit storm coming um resigns from here for allegedly asking a player for a pain pill an injured player for a pain pill for his wrist which is a big no-no right as a coach you can't ask one of your college athletes for some of their pain medication. And it's deeper than that because a lot more comes out.

At one point before this happens, this is the last crest of good time for Ryan Leaf here, and I'm going to give you an in-their-own-words about it. He's on the wave right now, and it's about to crush. It's about to crush down. He says, quote, when playing football became a job, it lost all its luster for me. I kind of got out of the spotlight and life has never been this good.

So much for that fucking college was the good times. Enjoy that feeling, Ryan, because it's about to come crashing down real, real hard because it's about to come crashing down real real hard because uh it's not working out there he goes to vancouver british columbia where he becomes a business development manager at a travel company oh my god he's a travel he's selling fucking timeshare packages yeah he's basically a yeah he's a horrible how much to spend on hotels, James? At this point, another timeshare.

No, no, no more. Oh, God, it's terrible. In September 2010, he starts writing a column for Coogfan.com, which is the fan site for Washington State Cougar fans. Wrote nine columns at Washington State. All the fans loved it. It became very popular, so popular that he signs a deal with crimson oak publishing to write three memoirs wow with the theme of hope possibility and determination okay no but there's a problem there because before that

there is no hope he is uh also if you want his book it's called 596 switch the improbable journey from the palouse to pasadena released in 2011 which is even funnier now knowing what happened after that is it that when the book was released he was just recovering from this little stint with crime that he had here that we're about to talk to about which was just an introduction to to his little his little world in may of 2009 he's indicted in texas for burglary and controlled substance uh possession at the time he is in a rehab facility in british columbia apparently the timeshare business was too much for him he couldn't take it he's in a rehab program there's a so they're they're you know whatever he's indicted there so he doesn't

even know it because he's in a rehab facility in another country he hears about it according to him tries to re-enter the country to go turn himself in in texas stopped by customs agents yeah you're wanted in texas there's a fugitive warrant out for you which is a big fucking deal interpol is looking for you yeah so his lawyer uh actually fights for and blocks the fugitive warrant, saying he was in rehab, he didn't know about it, this was his first opportunity to re-enter the country and come to Texas, that's what he was doing, let him turn himself in, that's what he wants to do, that actually works, and he's allowed to come in and turn himself in to Texas. He can clearly still afford a pretty decent lawyer.

He's got a good lawyer. He's got a publicist at this point, too. They say this publicist had no comment. Still got a little bit of cash on him. Still got a little cash, yeah. Maybe he's put in some annuities like Eddie Johnson. Got a Roth IRA or some shit. Yeah, something.

So June 17, 2009, he posts $45,000 bond in Washington for his Texas problem. I guess they're just letting him transfer it doesn't have to do it um at this point he's accused of also breaking into players homes for drugs yeah for players he really had drugs um he obtained this the whole thing he's arrested for he obtained over a thousand pain pills from pharmacies over an eight-month span. He had a little thing where he was stealing prescriptions. He was getting shit mailed to him. He was burglarizing. He had this whole thing, and this was right after his life's never been this good.

Right. Life's never been more out of control now. Life's never been this numb. Shit is bad. Yeah, so he's fucked there. He pleads guilty in Texas, April of 2010. He pleads guilty in Texas, April of 2010. He pleads guilty in Texas. There's nothing he can do.

Seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and one count of delivery of a simulated controlled substance. These are all felonies. Gets 10 years probation, $20,000 fine. His first offense. He's never done anything. 10 years probation. He's saying he's a player. He has pain.

He's addicted to drugs, he's an addict. I believe he was going from doctor to doctor also. Since then, they've tightened up laws on it. But you could go from doctor to doctor and have him sent to different clinics. You could drive around town one day and drop at different pharmacies and just scoop up an enormous amount of pills. And at the same time, robbing people for them, too, and borrowing them from players. All pilled up.

He is just giving me as many pills as I can. He's like Eddie Johnson with cocaine. That's him with pills. I need pills. Where are my pills at? I mean, he is a pill, and we'll get into more insane pill things here. So he's on probation. Things are fine.

Not so great, because in June of 2011, he has a benign tumor removed from his brain stem. So he has a surgery for that. So maybe, you think, maybe that's why he's such a genius. Yeah, maybe that's constricting the blood to the brain. It's not like his frontal lobe or anything. Maybe he's like the bell tower shooter in Austin, Texas. Maybe he had whatever.

Maybe he just needs a lobotomy. Now, Leaf gets to March 30, 2012, and supposedly all is well. And then he has a bad weekend. He has a real, real bad weekend. In March, where at? What city? This is in Great Falls, Montana.

Montana. He's back home. Yep. Where he's comfortable doing dumb shit. Where he's comfortable. And he has a... I mean, he must have just said, I'm getting all the pills I can this weekend.

I don't give a fuck. I'm going to get my lifetime supply this weekend. It's on. So, Friday night, March 30th of 2012, he's arrested. He's found a bunch of oxycodone pills are found in a golf bag of his in his house that his friend accused him of stealing from his home.

How did they find those? Well, the friend said he was in his house without his permission and took his golf bag. All right. And so he took his golf bag and his pills, and it was the friend's prescription. So he just jammed them in the golf bag. Jammed them in the golf bag, stole that. The guy said, you don't even have permission to take the golf bag, never mind the pills.

Let alone my pills. And so he's arrested for that. At the time, he tests positive for drugs. Of course. He tells the police he's taken about seven oxycodone pills in the last few weeks.

Bullshit. Yeah. A lot more than that, including one the day before, which, yeah, okay. He posts $76,000 bond. So, I mean, he's still posting bond. He's still got a lawyer.

Then next Monday after that, three days later, he's arrested again. And accused of some more shit. Some more breaking and entering problems outside of Great Falls. And this is where it gets really crazy, man. He just this weekend, I don't know what this guy was thinking but he went on a bender i mean that's all you can say um the friend yeah the friend said he had no permission to enter his house um on monday when he's arrested the search of leaf's truck uh turned up 28 oxycodones that he had no prescription for um He had... 28 pills goes so fast, too.

When you've got an addiction, they are absorbed and gone in a minute. Well, in his house, he also had 89 loose hydrocodone pills in the pocket of a bathrobe. That's where he kept them. He's like, no one will search my bathrobes. I'm going to lay around in the bathrobe, watch some judge judy and pop these like m&ms and get a fucking nice buzz going so he's got pills all over the place in the golf bag in the car in his house in a bathrobe he's

stealing pills because on sunday the the day before he gets arrested on monday owners of a home walk into their home. They find, quote, a tall man with an athletic build just standing in their living room. Just hanging out. And looked like he had an appetite for pills. Looking like he needed some pills. And the guy said, oh, I'm sorry, I have the wrong address,

and left and walked out the door. That was his response to it. That's amazing. That's how you know how fucking white all these people are,'s awesome yeah because he just they were like they were so like he could just get away with oh my bad wrong address and leave and they were like what i wondered why this couch looked different and the people were like i don't know everything's seems fine or maybe it was really they were like what a weird occurrence that was that ryan leaf in our living yeah they're like what a weird occurrence until they needed

to take their prescription later that evening and they go in and they say, oh wow, three bottles of my prescription medicine are missing

from my fucking medicine cabinet. Wonder what happened there. I wonder if it was that giant man. It was that big guy with the wrong address in the living room.

So they call the cops, obviously. They describe Leaf's truck. Truck, his clothes, his quote, shiny black loafers because a lot of people saw that. What the, his quote, shiny black loafers, because a lot of people saw that. What the hell is he wearing shiny black loafers around for? What a dick.

Kind of a dickhead. He's in Montana. He's a classy pill popper. You're in Montana, too. Put a pair of fucking Reeboks on and go rob houses, you pill junkie scumbag. We're in Missoula, goddammit. Goddammit. Then they also pick him out of a lineup like

that's the guy pretty easy to find that man fucking worst draft pick ever i know him so they just said they search his home after that they find all these pills in the bathrobe uh they get a warrant to search his gps also to check his gps very smart it showed that he was indeed in the driveway in the time frame of the burglary his house was there also showed that his truck went to uh over 10 other houses in the neighborhood and was in their driveways so police started checking with people going hey check your houses make sure you don't have any check your medicine cabinet don't take hydrocodone or oxycodone or anything because if you do it's not in your cabinet it's not there anymore so be careful so literally he wasn't stealing anything else he was stealing pills it's in our urine stream he

might have went in a dozen other houses and just didn't find any pills and so he just dipped so i mean they but then other people in the area once this all came out tons of people started reporting that they had their prescriptions right so i mean they were checking into that but they couldn't have they didn't have proof because nobody saw it. Unbelievable. Like, in this area, they had a little, like, you know, an area that they paid, just tons of people all over. So this guy was serially, basically, probably, allegedly,

definitely a few of them, but allegedly, probably stealing. When there's smoke, there's fire. All just going around, just breaking. I don't know if people don't lock their doors in Montana. It's probably not a big security town. Yeah, I can't imagine there's smoke, there's fire. All just going around, just breaking. I don't know if people don't lock their doors in Montana. It's probably not a big security town. Yeah, I can't imagine there's a lot of door locks. You probably just pop your credit card in there and knock it open. I think it's one of those things.

So, yeah, that's terrible. I've got a feeling there's a lot of windows open, too, because in the summertime it's beautiful up there. Yeah, that's a thing, too. And springtime, this is March. Windows are open. Yeah, that's the thing, too. And springtime? This is March.

Windows are open. Yeah, I mean, he says at this point, basically, his quote here is, after his first arrest, this is great in their own words here, quote, I've made some mistakes. I have no excuses. I'm confident that there will be further understanding when the facts are revealed. No shit. Yes, further understanding of how many people's houses were fucking robbed for pills you jackass

that's like a beautiful blanket statement for like his NFL career and post NFL that's his whole life I don't know if that's about the arrest or not that might have just been everything since I was 12 everything since game 3 yeah since game 3 of my rookie year we won those first two games guys and then i've made some mistakes i saw an interview with him

it was so funny it was before the fourth game of the year in his rookie year they were two and one and he's like look guys man it's not a big deal we win this game this weekend we're three and one we're in a good position right now so it's like so funny because it just went the complete opposite way. Things went in the shitter. So that's like after game four then when he was 2-2. It's just like, I made some mistakes.

I made some mistakes. Look, guys. I love that. Made some mistakes. That's a great starting apology. That one sentence. I have no excuses. I made some mistakes.

Yeah, and I have no excuses. But the truth will come out when the facts are revealed. You know someone's full of shit in a criminal situation when they're like, when the facts come out, I will be exonerated. What are the facts? Just tell us if they're such exonerating facts. What are they?

And by the way, the truth will be revealed when the facts are presented. You just said the exact same thing. Yeah, the truth will be presented. Rather than saying the sentence, the truth will be revealed when the facts are presented, use that time to just tell us the fucking facts that reveal the truth will be presented rather than saying the sentence the truth will be be revealed when the facts are presented use that time to just tell us the fucking facts that reveal the truth you stop wasting your breath stop fuck so you just said you've made some mistakes you just apologized for the truth by the way you idiot so at this point he's making court appearances uh because he bonded out he's making court appearances uh he gets in trouble and he's being a jackass in court.

Of course. An idiot in court. Arrogant. Arrogant jackass. Arrogant is what they said. What? Confident to the point of almost being obnoxious?

Yeah. And arrogant. And arrogant. He was the judge. He got in trouble from the judge for wearing clothes that he was instructed specifically not to wear.

Yeah. I don't know if he was wearing like a suck my cock t-shirt or something. Don't show up in FUBU. I'm wearing FUBU. I'm wearing FUBU. He didn't like his shiny black loafers. Like I don't know if he was wearing a suck my cock t-shirt or something. Don't show up in FUBU. I'm wearing FUBU. I'm wearing FUBU. He didn't like his shiny black loafers.

Like, I don't like shiny. What are you? What are you? What's going on here? What are you, Sammy Davis Jr. in my courtroom? You're wearing baggy jeans and black loafers?

What is this? He was found in contempt of court when he wouldn't cooperate when addressed. He was just like ignoring the judge. They were like, Leaf! Mr. Leaf! Mr. Leaf, you're going through withdrawals. Can you please focus? He's just, like, ignoring the judge. They were like, Leaf! Mr. Leaf! Mr. Leaf, you're going through withdrawals.

Can you please focus? He's like, nah, I got time for you. He was served papers in court and refused to sign them and threw them on the floor. So they had to, like, physically make him take those in court. He is awesome.

He's a total fucking idiot, this guy. They're making a pile of the shit they want him to read. Oh, it's great. He's charged with two felony burglaries two felony criminal possessions of a dangerous drug two misdemeanor thefts and a probation violation uh ten years yeah texas uh rearing its ugly head yeah no doubt they are strict texas at this point issues an arrest warrant for him and sets his bond at $126,000 because he violated his probation. On the 8th of May, 2012, he files a plea agreement with court and the court for one count of felony burglary, one count of criminal possession of a dangerous drug.

Strikes a plea agreement. We get to June 19th, 2012. It's his sentencing. Uh-oh. He is sentenced to seven years whoa in montana prison in 2012 it's yes with with two years suspended if he abides by the conditions opposed imposed by the judge so he gets five years so these conditions include he's supposed to spend the first nine months of his sentence in a locked down drug facility yep

but he gets kicked out of there for being a fucking moron he gets shipped off to deer lodge state prison on on january 17 2013 for quote behavior that violated the conditions of his drug treatment placement and threatening a staff member so now he has to serve seven yeah threatening a staff member director pam burke of the program wrote that quote leaf was quote too great as security risk to leave in a community setting and that the staff had exhausted all resources and keeping them there it basically said we try we deal with drug addicts that's what we do jerk offs are our fucking bread and butter right he. He is the biggest jerk-off. There's nothing we can do with him. He's like a six-foot-five man behaving like Linda Hamilton in The Terminator.

And he will not take those loafers off. We've told him specifically no loafers in here. Put your fucking house shoes on. Come on. Right. They're provided for you, for fuck's sake. The issues that he had in there were that Leaf told his roommate that he wanted to drag one of the program staffers by the hair.

So then he had to write, Leaf had to write in this thing, and this is so, like, rehab. Like, this makes me, like, just, it makes me want to die inside right now. Clearly smoking a Marlboro Red while he pens it. No, it's just one of those stupid rehab things. He had to write a, quote, thinking error report. Oh, Christ. Write a report on how your thinking was flawed.

Like, it's just so stupid. Thinking error. He's got to... Stop doing pills. A brain that's polluted with fucking pill-billy heroin is going to try to write a what? A think? a thinking error report like you tell a kid you sit down and write your thinking error report of why you shouldn't have

thrown that eraser a little so and so thinking it's so politically correct in the report it's just called a fuck-up paper that's what that is yeah it's a jerk off your report you're stupid right why it's up on your jo fucking r there jerk off report uh he said he wanted to in the report he wrote that he quote wanted to throw the staffer against the wall and smash a glass into the man's head so he had a plan anyway which is more than i could say for most anything else he's doing so i give him credit honestly That's the first thing he planned out in years. I wish we were in a bar. I'd blast him in the face with a beer mug.

And the funny part that I have about this is, at this point, there are people 10 years ago that gave him money to invest for that. Those people are like, I gave that guy money. How stupid do they feel at this point? Not only was he a terrible quarterback, but holy shit.

San Diego Chargers gave him $11 million. How do they feel? Let him borrow the private jet. Jesus Christ. Go to Vegas. Go to Vegas and be an idiot. So anyway, he ends up going. He finishes that.

They send him to prison. In prison, he's talking about drugs in jail, obviously. And he says this. He can't wait to get out. I think this is great, too. He says that, quote, this is a good, this is a long quote, but it's a good one about him. It's so him, too, and some of it's just so wonderful. Quote, it was pretty rampant in there, the drug use.

Quote, it was pretty rampant in there. the drug use quote it was pretty rampant in there pills which were my thing too those were really prevalent the guards would bring them in i was always worried it was my biggest worry that they would just toss them in my cell one day and plant stuff on me and i get stuck in jail longer and longer you always need to toe the line with them one of my friends told me you know if you ever want to see the worst people in the world go to a prison and shift change that was the running joke there that's his fear that's his like i figured that's him like inoculating himself or when they find shit yeah like that's so i'm so scared they're just gonna plant it on me what what is that i don't do that i was in rehab they're gonna plant

it on me i told you they'd plan yeah they were gonna plant it on me. We found these pills in your cell. I told you they'd plant it on me. I told you they were going to plant it on me. Like, complete jerk off. So after a couple of years, he is actually paroled. But May of 2014, he is put in the Crossroads Correctional Facility in Montana, which is like a rehab type place. That's a popular one. Is it Crossroads? I don't think it's that. No? That Crossroads.rectional Facility in Montana, which is like a rehab type place. That's a popular one. Is it Crossroads? I don't think it's that Crossroads. No, no. I think this is just

a shitty correctional facility that they named, ironically, Crossroads, when no one's crossing any road except... Ryan Leaf? Yeah, except Ryan Leaf to get to another neighbor's house to rob. With his shiny black Michael Jackson patent leather platform shoes shining in the sun.

With his knockoff Bruno Mollies. In the Montana sun. That's all he had left from his playing day. A real nice pair of shiny shoes. And goddammit, he was going to sport them. The house was gone. The cars were gone. These shoes here.

These are $11 million shoes. $11 million. What do you get for $11 million? Look at these loafers. That's what you get, pal. And a nasty pill habit. An arrogant attitude. A really arrogant dipshit attitude.

I can still wing that ball. That's where he's going to serve the remainder of his sentence. They're kind of transitioning him in because who knows if he's been doing pills in jail. We don't know. So they bring him in there to go out. bring him in there to go out um uh august 27 2014 the texas judge sentences him to five years on the probation violation right uh suspend five years each for each drug drug charge but it's a suspended sentence yeah and they're basically saying that it's time served with montana and they're basically okay with what montana is in their path. Release him to rehab and then parole.

Agreeing with their sentence. So he is actually released from prison, paroled, on December 4th, 2014. He walks out a free man. Wow. Ready to go out there and take in the world. Pop some pills. Shine up those shoes. And he's got like a, he kind of lays low for a while yeah and

then all of a sudden recently 2016 early 2016 he's been fucking everywhere i i did hear him yeah he's everywhere talking about he's writing another book he's writing another book because he has a three book deal yeah that's still that's right he still has a three that's only 2010 he's only had one out so far and that's a three book memoir so he Yeah. That's still out there. That's right. He still has a three. That's only from 2010. He's only had one out so far. And that's a three-book memoir deal. So he's got two more. I suppose he got out of it for prison. That's extenuating.

They gave him, like, Gavin Grant's lawyer. Like, you know, he's still training. He might be under the charges, but we haven't dropped him yet. So he's, like, he's doing that. And now he's, and I feel like, like, everybody right now is, like, they're writing so many, like, Ryan Leaf redemption stories. like calm the fuck down yeah he has a long i remember sports illustrated yeah that's what they're doing now repeatedly with him he's this guy that like i don't know what it is if you show promise at throwing a ball when you're 18 people will just repeatedly let you

fuck they just want to root for you middle-aged silver-haired white men will just repeatedly let you fuck up. They just want to root for you. And middle-aged, silver-haired white men will just keep giving you chances. I'm sure this judge was a middle-aged... It's like, it's just unbelievable. And I don't... Honestly, me personally, I don't know.

I hope his life is going well. Like, he had a girlfriend I know with him in the Dan Patrick show. I don't know what delusional bitch this is. You look crazy broad. But, I mean,

I guess she's one of these people, too, that's like, saw the flash... If you see flashes of greatness, people just let people get away with murder with this. And then with their ego being stroked for so long, they're just like, I can get away with it. Exactly. And I don't buy the fact that he's coming out now with the whole Johnny Manziel thing.

That's what the big thing is now. He's out there acting like he's like the big brother of. Learn from me. Learn from me. The big brother of fuck-up draft bus quarterbacks. That's what he is, basically. He's just going to embrace of... Learn from me. Learn from me. The big brother of fuck-up draft-bust quarterbacks. That's what he is, basically. He's just going to embrace it. And he is.

And he's going around. And I feel like... I mean, I don't know. I hope he's not on pills. I hope he's got his life together and all that kind of thing. But he might still be a fucking disastrous pill addict because that shit comes back hard on people. It's hard to shake that shit.

It's hard to shake it. And he might have pain, too. That's the other thing, too. He probably does. He probably does. He probably does. He had surgery, wrist surgery, shoulder surgery. Four and 17, is that what his record was? He got the piss pounded.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. He was going to get smashed. He threw interception after interception. He was rushed. And you play football from the time you're a high school kid. You have aches and pains and whatever. So, I mean, whatever. I'm not judging the guy for his... I'm not judging... I'll never judge, and I know you're a high school kid. You have aches and pains and whatever. So, I mean, whatever. I'm not judging the guy for his...

I'm not judging... I'll never judge, and I know you're the same way. I'm never going to judge somebody for a drug problem. That's why people... I've been asked by multiple people, are you going to do Lawrence Taylor?

Are you going to do Lawrence Taylor? And I don't want to fucking do Lawrence Taylor. It's just drugs. For a reason, number one, he's my favorite athlete of all time, and I could not be unbiased and fair to the audience. It's hookers and blow. It's the dream.

The man had the dream. But the drug thing was 98% of it. Daryl Strawberry. I'm going to do Daryl Strawberry because it's all drug addiction. But this guy was a special kind of an asshole is why we're doing this because those guys weren't breaking into people's houses and burglarizing. This is a different thing. And he fucking blew it.

Yeah. Those guys actually fulfilled their promise. They did what they were supposed to do yeah garner's tale is the greatest defensive player in the history of football think so eat a dick go look up on youtube lawrence taylor highlight reel watch it's crazy it is you're you looks like he's playing with children he's grabbing find how you play the linebacker position. Yeah, he redefined pass rushing. So let's not, yeah, so it's hard. Anyway, off the subject completely. But I feel like whether he has got his life together or not, I feel like he's using Johnny Manziel as a way to get himself on the Dan Patrick show

and act like I'm just trying to give, I'm trying to be the godfather and give a big brother and give advice. And, oh, by the way, my book's coming out next year. I feel like it's one of those things. You're trying to push your book deal and then meet more people so you can get into people's houses. And he wrote those articles. I feel like he's trying to get into the media, too. I feel like he would love the Ryan Leaf National Radio show.

Whatever. He would love that. He'd love to be an analyst. Not that anyone's going to fucking hire him. He would love to be an analyst. He'd love to be one of those Sunday morning jerk-off roundtable fucking circle jerk sessions that they have there. How many guys, too, have made such huge

mistakes, gone to prison, turned their life around, and then were just a success the rest of their lives? It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen that often. Especially with a massive drug problem. That's the thing. We've already covered guys before that have gone and talked. They went and spoke to places.

Yeah. About, who was it? Eddie Johnson. Jason Williams, too. Jason Williams. Eddie Johnson was speaking to kids all summer before he was selling

crap to undercover officers on video. Jason Williams, he's going, learn from me. Don't look at my past. Look at how I act now. Hoops, not guns.

And by the way, when I leave here, I'm going to throw a few back and hit a fucking tree. Yeah. Hit a tree, shoot my limo driver, buy horses and cattle like an idiot. Yeah. It's ridiculous. So this idiot here, Ryan Leaf, says about Johnny Manziel, here's another quote, quote about Manziel, quote, it's like a mirror. It really is. I listen to when I hear stuff that's being said and what's going on. And it's like a mirror. It really is. I listen to when I hear stuff that's being said and what's going on, and it's like a mirror to me. I can relate to certain things. Yes, you're a jerk-off also.

And he's saying it's... You're a jerk-off drug addict that was a first-round draft pick that is a fucking bust. That's a bust, number two. Your career is shit. And Johnny Manziel is told already by Drew Rosenhaus, Drew Rosenhaus, Drew Rosenhaus will not represent him until he goes to fucking rehab and figures his life out.

Leaf actually reached out to his old agent to get a hold of Manziel and got like his number to call. And he said he's trying to reach out to him. He's trying to tell him of the path. Johnny, don't call it back. Yeah. And it's like also too, they're going to end up doing pills together in Vegas. That's what's going to happen with these two idiots. That's it. You don't want to get these two together.

Brian Lee's going to get a hold of him and say, you've got a deep checkbook. That's all it is. I want him out of prison for a good five years before I trust him to mentor anybody, okay? Let's get you. You're out for two years right now. Not even. You still smell like a lockup. He got out in December of 2014. You don't wash that off in in two years

no you still stink he is barely out of prison and barely and he's still in the parole program let's see when you're on your own out there not being drug tested on a regular basis before we go crazy your bones are still built with the prison food yeah exactly exactly but so yeah so he's out there being an idiot with that and trying to get the attention with Johnny Manziel. And he tried to get a hold of him and, oh, I want to tell him and all that stuff. Don't call him back. Don't call him back. Don't.

And he's not going to listen anyway. No. Would Ryan Leaf have listened to somebody? Absolutely not. Because he's on top of the world. Right. He thinks he's hot shit. Right.

You've got to let these people fade out. And then in ten years, we'll do a story on Johnny Manziel. Right. Breaking into people's houses and stealing hydrocarbon from them. I hope it's sooner. I really do. I have a feeling he'll be a little bit sooner. That guy's a piece of shit.

He keeps getting arrested. Yeah. He keeps doing stuff. He's gonna kill someone by accident one of these days. It's gonna be a DUI. Or like a drug overdose at his house where there's like a weird situation. And then we're gonna dig deep into it. He's having like a six person orgy

and then one of them just fucking strokes out in the middle of it oh shit yeah they had like some weird experimental like you know eastern european

ecstasy shipment that came in and it's a mess and it's super strong and they didn't know yeah and they're looking around he's like shit

oh my god she's dead what am I gonna do and she's like who's that guy in the living room the tall guy with the athletic build who is that

and he's like sorry wrong address. And he just walks out. The fuck? I thought you were trying to mentor. Ah, never mind. Screw him. I thought he was my mentor.

So yeah, guys, that's Ryan Leaf. Right now, you can catch him, like I said, makes tons of media appearances. If you look up Ryan Leaf, like 2016,

it's just all radio, national, Dan Patrick interviews. Find the YouTube of him freaking out. That's the all radio, national, Dan Patrick interviews. Find the YouTube of him freaking out. That's the best

Find the YouTube. We'll put it on our social media when we release this. We'll release it. We'll release the pictures and all

that and then later on in the day we'll also tweet out the video of him freaking out going, leave me alone

right? Leave me alone. His voice cracks and everything. I have a nine year old son and it sounds exactly like my nine

year old son when he freaks out and he's mad because he didn't make a basket or something. He just didn't go in. It's not fair. He runs away. I quit. That's what he did, basically. I need to get Junior Seau back from the dead to rally him, but it's not working with Leafs.

Consol your boy. Consol the boy. But that's Ryan Leaf. Guys, we hope you enjoyed our draft special. So fun. We had fun doing it. I'll give you a little bonus. And every once in a while, if something weird happens or if we get an update on one of our cases that we've been doing earlier,

like if they decide what the hell's going on with Jimmy Snuka or things like that, we'll throw out a bonus episode. We'll release it on Thursday, and we'll give it to you guys. You know what? I'll go out on a limb. And when Ryan Leaf fucks up again. When he fucks up again. Because it's happening. We'll be back to you. I'm confident in that. Yeah,'ll give it to you guys. You know what?

Before you go, tell us about yourself by completing a short survey at wondery.com slash survey. If you don't know when Crystal Pepsi was discontinued, what was in Al Capone's vault, or which famous meteorologist is Lenny Kravitz's second cousin, then you haven't spent enough time on Wikipedia. But that's okay. I am here for you. I'm Darcy Carden, and I'm inviting you to listen to my new podcast, WikiHole, from SmartList Media.

Discover the craziest rabbit holes on Wikipedia with me and my funny friends as we bring the cyber frontier directly to your tympanic membrane. And if you listen to my podcast, you'd learn that that's the science-y term for eardrum. We embark on a hyperlink rollercoaster as we start out on a Wikipedia page and go from link to link to link to link,

careening through trivia, oddities, and unexpected connections until we collectively shout, how the hell did we get here? Follow WikiHole on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen to WikiHole ad-free by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app

or on Apple Podcasts.
