Ryan Leaf's Career Still Causing Him Pain

Even six years after retiring from the NFL, Ryan Leaf still suffers from his four disastrous years in pro football. He has taken a leave from his position as Quarterbacks Coach at West Texas A&M because he asked a player for a pain pill. Allegedly, he needed the pill for pain in his wrist caused while playing football.

I'm not sure of the exact pill he asked for but if it was Viacaden, Percocet, or Oxycotton those are the same pills I took while painfully watching his NFL career. In fact, with the amount of Leaf jokes told by UW fans you practically need pain pills at the mere mention of his name.

Leaf is also the men's golf coach at West Texas. I can already picture practice: Take a couple pills, down three beers, then play golf all afternoon under the warm Texas sun. And to think he gets paid for that.
