Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf charged with domestic battery

[TexasTowelie]

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor domestic battery on Friday afternoon in Palm Springs, Calif., about 110 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Leaf was released late Friday night from Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility on $5,000 bail. He is due back in court on Sept. 25 to answer to the charges.

It is unclear who the alleged victim is in the case.

It wasn’t immediately known if Leaf had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

Leaf, 44, one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history, has dealt with drug, legal problems and mental health issues since flaming out of the league by the time he was 25.

1. What an embarrassment to WSU

Hope the victim is okay and has the good sense to get far away from this asshole.

I’d like to know who at ESPN thought it was a good idea to hire this jerk.

2. He's got quite a past.....

Total bust in the NFL and some serious legal issues, too.

5. Went To Jail

Saw an ESPN interview with him about his prison time & supposedly the light coming on.
Perhaps that bulb was short lived.

3. It seemed like he had turned things around.

At some point, you run out of chances, and domestic battery certainly seems like that point.
