The True Origins Of The Ryan Leaf Photo
Unfortunately, this photo of Ryan Leaf isn't a recent one. Nope, it's from January of 2008. The man who took the photo emailed us to share what exactly happened that evening. More »

Deadspin Reader Heroically Attends Screening Of Ryan Leaf Movie
In a simpler time, Mike Sebeckis was known as Seabass, Deadspin commenter extraordinaire. A software engineer who has been living in San Diego for 2 1/2 years, he doesn't have much time to frolic in the comments section these days; although he is still a regular reader and thinks Baby Mangino is a lock for SHOTY. But when Sebeckis heard our request for someone to review Tim Carr's new documentary on former Chargers quarterback Ryan Leaf, he jumped at the chance. Well, OK, I had to offer him free stuff. But he came through in a big way.

Coming Soon To A Library Near You ...
If you're like me, you're constantly writing to Paramount and TriStar demanding to know when the life of Ryan Leaf will be made into a movie. Put away that spec script, because it's already here. Filmmaker Tim Carr has made Leaf, an 82-minute film about the former Chargers quarterback, which, according to his MySpace page, is in "limited release." I guess that's true, because tonight it will be screened at the San Diego Library. OK, Deadspin Nation San Diego; time to mobilize. If anyone can get to this screening and give us a report, you will be handsomely rewarded. More »

Ryan Leaf Has Gone and Ryan Leaf'd Himself Yet Again
And...scene. Former inept NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf seemed poised for success while coaching at DII West Texas A & M , but thanks to a recent pill-popping scandal, that career path might also be over for good. At first, Leaf was given a leave of absence by the university for him to work on his "personal " problems, but Leaf ended all chances for a return by gracefully stepping down. More »

Pill-Popping Trouble In Ryan Leaf Land
It was just a couple months ago when Portfolio.com did an interesting feature about the post-NFL career of quarterback Ryan Leaf, detailing his remarkable success as football and golf coach at West Texas A & M and, most surprising, the fact that he's still a multi-millionaire thanks to past endorsement money. But there may be some trouble in Leaf's post-NFL oasis, as ESPN.com is reporting that Leaf has taken a leave of absence from his assistant coaching position at West Texas A &M for "personal" reasons. ESPN also dropped this little nugget of info in the story: More »

Surprisingly, Ryan Leaf Is Actually Winning At Something In Life
Ryan Leaf's story is never one that's regarded with much empathy, given how cantankerous and bitchy he was throughout his brief, spectacularly awful NFL tenure. He's main accomplishments as an NFL quarterback are being consistently ranked in the top three of all-time draft busts or the top three all-time locker room freak-outs. A couple of years ago when Leaf took jobs at West Texas A &M as both head golf coach and assistant football coach, it appeared as if he'd finally reached the most pathetic and darkest depths of a failed career. How could a one-time first-round draft pick even get up in the morning to face the day as a lowly coach at Division II school? Well, as we find out in this Portfolio.com piece on Leaf, the man has come to terms with his former life and is extraordinarily exceeding at his current one. Oh, and he's still filthy, stinking rich: More »

Ryan Leaf Cleans Out The Attic Of Tearful Regret
Was it really 10 years ago that the Indianapolis Colts made the fateful decision to draft Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf in the NFL draft? To mark the occasion, Leaf is showing off his No. 16 Colts jersey — yep, one such exists — which he found while rummaging through some personal belongings recently. More » -

Ryan Leaf About To Be Immortalized On Digital Film
Six months ago, Football Outsiders told the tale of "Leaf: An Almost True Story," a mock-documentary about Ryan Leaf. Apparently, the movie has progressed a bit since then: It looks like it's going to be "released" in October. More » -

Ryan Leaf: Demoted, Promoted Or Just Sad?
If you were watching the Las Vegas Bowl between BYU and Oregon last night — and who wasn't? — you might have seen a sideline interview with none other than former Washington State Cougars star Ryan Leaf. (He is also known by some for his postcollegiate endeavors.) Leaf's brother is the quarterback at Oregon, so it was nice of him to stop by and, you know, completely curse the Ducks. More »

The Ryan Leaf Movie Will Probably Be Just Like "Brian's Song"

Ryan Leaf For The Heisman!
A reader doing a random Web search came across one of our favorite parts of the Web: An Internet time capsule. Still hanging around on the Washington State University servers? The Ryan Leaf For Heisman 1997 Homepage. Even though Leaf was considered a star back then — and we therefore can hardly blame the Cougars' athletic department for being so ebullient — the site is still pretty fun to sift through, in a "this boat can't sink!" type of way.

The NFL Network's Brilliant Idea
On the list of entertaining moves by a network, The NFL Network's decision to pursue Ryan Leaf as an analyst for this year's NFL Draft is a rather brilliant one. We love this idea; bringing back old athletes to provide commentary at the site of their biggest failures/embarrassments. More » -

Ryan Leaf Comes Off Couch to Mold Young Minds
Hear that? That's the sound of high school quarterbacks across the United States ripping up their commitment letters to West Texas A & M University(alright, listen really, really closely), after it was announced that former first-round bust Ryan Leaf will be the Division II school's new quarterbacks coach. This is the equivalent of hiring a 12-time DUI offender to serve as a student driving instructor. More »
