Ryan Leaf In British Columbia, Canada... Will Turn Himself In Per His Lawyer

[Apollo Creed]

I need to get ahold of Leaf. When I had my hernia operation I got a prescription for 30 hydrocodone and only took 10 of them! I still have 20 left...

I still have a bunch of those left from my broken ankle. But apparently we need to be locking our doors the way people like Leaf want those things.

What I should really do is go flush them down the toilet. I don't need them anymore.

BRB.


Done...deal. I only have the bottle left...


Glad I did that...

BRB.

there should be companies to take those things, I don't know how the regulations work out, but there are a ton of people who need pain killers, like cancer patients and people like that.

shame they can't help anyone.

sorry tangeant thought. Just when my grandmother died, they flushed all her medicines and it just seemed wrong.

not to mention you don't know where your toilet water ends up and flushing drugs might not be as responsible a thing as it seems.

You have to throw medicine away. If you could return portions of old medicine for a good cause...some creep will then try to make his own pills that might be toxic and mess the whole damn thing over again.

I am almost positive I watched a show on discovery about water treatment and they said they couldn't pull some medicines out of the water.

And for a good cause would be a good cause, I am pretty sure a pharmacist or someone like that is trustworthy.

I didn't mean to call you out, just something I have been thinking about since my grandmother passed.

It makes sense to me too. But it is what it is right now and maybe that could change...

creeps really do screw a ton of things up for decent folks.

 

[sonnyboy]

Anyone have an idea how much money he earned from 1998-2001. He was the 2nd overall pick. I'd have to think he banked 10 mil plus over his short career.

Point I'm making is you'd think he'd be set financially for life. This story reeks of someone who's broke.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I for one wish him well.

Sure, he failed in the NFL, but the signs where there and he never should have been drafted that high to begin with. He was immature. A lot of people are.

But until now, he had never gotten into legal trouble that I recall.

He was on the Dan Patrick Show a while back and Dan was busting his balls but Ryan took it well. He even agreed to send Dan an autographed Colts jersey (Colts gave it to him prior to the draft, saying he was their pick) if Dan would hold an auction and give proceeds to charity. I believe they followed through with that.

As for the hydrocodon thing... it sucks for sure, but appearantly addiction to pain killers is a powerful thing. Addiction in general has taken a lot of people down.

All in all, Leaf is the butt of many jokes, but I don't think he is a bad person and I certainly don't think he deserves to "rot" as someone else suggested.

Best of luck Ryan.

Leaf to turn self in next week


Associated Press




CANYON, Texas -- Ryan Leaf's lawyer says the indicted the former NFL quarterback will surrender on drug and burglary charges in Texas.


Bill Kelly told The Associated Press late Thursday that Leaf is "not a fugitive from justice" and will return next week.


Prosecutor Lacy Miller says a warrant was issued May 20 when Leaf was indicted. Miller says Leaf has been working in British Columbia.


The ex-Washington State University and San Diego Chargers quarterback is charged with burglary to a habitation. Leaf also was indicted on seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and one count of delivery of a simulated controlled substance.


Leaf coached quarterbacks at West Texas A&M in Canyon, where the indictment was returned.

What a total headcase........some people will never learn.

How sad were we as a franchise when we gave this clown the QB job for a short period.

People need to think about that when they start bashing Romo.

Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman to QuINTcy Carter and Ryan Leaf... :ralph:

 

[dogunwo]

As usual, he'll be intercepted fairly quickly.

Zing.

 

[MONT17]

Ryan leaf is the hands down winner of the worst QB in Cowboys history and may be top 3 for the worst QB in NFL history...


I guess Drew Henson fans are stoked about this news

 

[BoysFanInAustin]

And to think in 2001, we had Leaf and Quincy battling to see who was going to be our "Franchise QB" for years to come. And Now look at how their lives are turning out.

 

[Frozen700]

Speak for yourself there buddy. I certainly deserve to see it happen.


As for Leaf...wow. What an idiot.

well i wasn't talking about everyone i take it back, but a ton of fans are quick to switch out...when things go south

and yea leaf is a fool

Well said.

 

[Longboysfan]

No to sound stupid or what....

Maybe he was in Canada picking up the same exact thing over the counter.....

 

[FLCowboyFan]

I don't usually defend people who get caught doing stupid things.....but...... The drug he is trying to get is a pain killer. He no doubt started taking them to be able to play through the pain of his wrist and got hooked. Look at Rush when he got hooked, he broke the law to get the drugs and he has more wealth than Leaf!

I can't help believe this guy has a serious problem and can't fight the cravings for the drugs. I had an aunt that got hooked on pain meds and she screamed because the thought she hurt so bad. It was basically a reaction of not having the drugs in her system. I personally think it is a sad result of his injuries in the NFL. Unfortunately I suspect pain killer adiction is more common that we will ever know.
