Ryan Leaf in hiding

*yahoo blog*

I've already been asked twice today if I'm hiding Ryan Leaf, so I'd like to go on record and say that no, I'm not hiding him, even though I'm still a Ryan Leaf fan and I'm still holding out hope for a comeback. Leaf is now officially a wanted man in Texas, after failing to turn himself in on drug and burglary charges.
At the time he was indicted, the district attorney said Leaf was undergoing drug rehabilitation in British Columbia. The D.A. said efforts were being made to get Leaf to return to the United States on his own, but I guess that didn't work out.
Here's a quote from the prosecutor, via the San Diego Union-Tribune:
“At one point he said he was going to turn himself in. He hasn't turned himself in yet, and if he gets picked up he's going to be arrested,” Randall County prosecutor Lacy Miller said. “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.”
When the news of the initial indictment broke, I figured that was rock bottom for our fallen hero. Looks like I was wrong about that. Worse than being indicted on drug and burglary charges is fleeing from the law after being indicted on drug and burglary charges.
That's my mistake. If there's anything I should have learned from being a fan of Ryan Leaf, it's that there is always -- always -- a way to make things worse.

Dan Fouts

NFL Draft: 1973 / Round: 3 / Pick: 84
College: Oregon

Fouts helped lead the Chargers to the playoffs from 1979 to 1982 and twice to the AFC title game (1980 and 1981). He led the league four times in passing yards; ending his career with over 40,000, the third player to surpass that landmark. Fouts was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993.

Fouts was a 6-time Pro Bowl selection (1979-1983 & 1985) and compiled passer ratings over 90.0 for a 3-year stretch (1981-83). Fouts threw for over 4,000 yards for 3 consecutive seasons (1979-81), led the NFL in passing yards in 4 consecutive seasons(1979-1982) and 6 times eclipsed the 20-touchdown mark with a career high 33 in 1981. His career high of 4,802 passing yards during the 1981 season was an NFL record at the time.

if it was, i don't think rjb and jared would be members still... i can only imagine the posts that would have been made:

"Leaf... a one year wonder... LMFAO How many Washington games have you guys watched?? He had the best three-cone drill of any QB at the combine."

you know i'm kidding guys, but the bumps would be classic
