Could you imagine how different the NFL would be if Peyton Manning went to the Chargers? Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers would be on different teams, Andrew Luck might not go to the Colts, Peyton might not go to the Broncos
Goes to show you why time travel would be a bad idea. You can change the world with one bad decision.
Patrick Lile thats not how time travel works. we would end up at different universal coordinates. time isnt how humans presume it to be. it isnt relative
May I take your hat sir Also, they would have never drafted Eli Manning.
Rocco S Okay time traveler. Good to know that we have you to set us all straight with your infinite knowledge on something that we really have no idea about.
@@funnystuff9602 except Peyton Manning had nothing to do with that Superbowl win.. defense carried the broncos.
I think it's great that Leaf is finally in a good place in his life and we're hearing some amazing stories about his experiences. And that he can laugh at his past. That's maturity and personal growth. We should always pull for people to get their lives together.
John Chedsey amen
he just got arrested
@@ecoterrorism_liker7251 and 3 days ago he hosted Rich Eisen's show...it's never about how many times you get knocked down...
Ryan is a completely different man compared to when he was in the league. A lot more mature and level-headed now.
Yea its crazy how 20 yr old kids change in 20 years
Time will do that to a person
Most people have a sense of "the bottom" and if they think they can get out of it they will.
Ryan Leaf was in jail for stealing pills from strangers in a scam that gave him unwanted access to their homes. Addiction is a crazy thing and will lead you to "the bottom" on a pillow of broken glass.
Ryan finally saw that he had no options left, got clean, appears to have matured and that's always a good story. It shows that most people aren't inherently "bad". Something is usually pushing us toward bad things and we're too weak/damaged/dumb to do the right thing.
Few are inherently bad people. They exist but they're not the norm.
Tom Bystander Tbf to the Chargers they needed a QB & the chances of him failing was slim but it happened. Only major fuck up was Dallas passing on Moss after promising to draft him
It’s good to see
I love how he can easily laugh at his past ✊🏾
It's called money in the bank. Having F U money makes everything much easier.
Christopher Oswald but he’s broke
@@sanhitgutta32 But he's wealthier than you.
DoNKeY that’s not my point i was trying to say that he has done a great job at maturing and that him having money wasn’t the reason, but rather the fact that he has grown as a person. Also I’m in high school so I’d hope that he’s richer than I am.
@@sanhitgutta32 nah hes good now
This dude has really turned it around.
It's good to see. Todd Marinovich take note.
I think they are different. Ryan had a smaller window of drug abuse. Todd's been wasted since he was a kid.
Ryan got arrested for domestic about a year ago.
@@tretimes9883 Lots of people get arrested for that and completely innocent, millennial that has to debate a year old posts.
@@SouthernSkeptic also got arrested for stealing drugs that he manipulated kids into getting.
And millenial? You have no clue. I made a comment, not a debate.
Peyton Manning on the Chargers with Antonio Gates L'Damian Thomason in the early 2000s would have been massive
Atleast 2 SB
They wouldn't have had them if they took Peyton. They came after. They would've had different draft picks.
@@thisguyrighthere3647 but just imagine though if they still got them
Peyton Manning minis Marvin Harrison though... There goes one of the best qb/wr duo ever.
erik Arellano j Peyton Manning on the Colts with Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne and Edgerrain James in the early 2000s would have been massive, that’s at the bare minimum 2 chips right there
An MRI was the difference between Leaf or Manning? Wow!
That was definitely a blessing in disguise for Manning and the Colts
I also heard there was a test that Peyton did insanely better on before the draft and Peyton had much better answers when questioned by teams.
Markus Steel Wright when asked what they were doing after drat night, peyton said study the playbook, leaf said go party in vegas. Peyton slowly started showing more and more maturity through the whole process
@@fizzyfuzz5878 yea. Manning was a boring guy who was all about practice and fundamentals and leaf was talking about Vegas and rings
Tijuana SIX I wouldn’t call someone as comedic as Peyton boring. He was just more mature and focused
2:45 "SeatGeek" LMAO always reppin
Love it haha
Leaf’s happy life now is really amazing. He’s been through a lot. Talk about overcoming adversity. Very inspirational story.
Got arrested for domestic assault
@@blackalien6873 who tf cares.
The Colts asked both Manning and Leaf what they would do with the all the money they were about to get from signing NFL contracts: Manning said he was going to put it in the bank and start studying his playbook, Leaf said he was taking to take his buddies to Las Vegas..... The Colts were never going to draft Leaf.
Polian even tells that story and the one how peyton told them flat out he could be happy in Indy but if they dont draft hes gonna beat their ass for years😂😂😂
That cartwheel seat geek ad is epic!
I have never been more impressed by a human being than Ryan Leaf. His story is an absolute whirlwind of emotion but he just keeps fighting
So happy to see this guy doing well
A very interesting interview and a much respectable looking Ryan Leaf.
I have a lot of respect for Ryan Leaf. The fact that he can talk about his past and be good-humored about it shows how far he's come. Even though he's remembered as the biggest draft bust in NFL history, it was still a great achievement to be able to get as far as he did. He has a lot to be proud of.
Hunter S. Thompson with the drug-fueled cold take
This deserves way more likes lmao
As a Chargers fan, it's hard to not still be pissed off at this guy. But it's also good to see he turned it around.
Quick question..which ones are chargers more pissed off at? Ryan leaf for being a bust or eli asking to be trained when they drafted him
@@richardgrace4500 I think whatever sting the Eli thing caused faded pretty quick. The Leaf deal is still hard to stomach.And in getting Rivers instead of Manning, the Chargers got a QB who was just as good, though not quite as successful overall.
Hate them both as a Chargers fan
I stick them them in the same shit box
It's easy to look back now and see how crazy this was. At the time, I remember arguing with people at work that there was no comparison. Manning was born and raised to play QB in the NFL. Most didn't agree and said Leaf would be the better QB. Leaf was the beginning of a line of one year wonders that got drafted early. That has been my one concern about Burrow. I hope he doesn't become the next bust.
I don’t understand your stance on Joe Burrow.
You’re concerned he’ll be a bust because he only had one year of insane, record-breaking, video game stats?
His often overlooked 2018 season wasn’t too shabby. In 2018 he had just under 3,000 passing yards and a tad under 60% completion percentage leading while leading LSU to a Fiesta Bowl win and LSU finished 6th in the final 2018 AP poll. He did all this in 2018 with the worst O-Line in the SEC and a lack of a good running game. Yes, the media voted on the best and worst of each position in the SEC and LSU was awarded the worst offensive line for 2018. They were bad.
In 2019, LSU had an insanely better O-line, WRs, & RBs for Mr. Joe to work with. Basically everything was so much better in 2019.
People seem to not realize Joe Burrow was exceptional in 2018 for what he had to work with. He probably would have had very similar stats in 2018 had Joe had the 2019 LSU team to work with.
@@RevAlSharptonz sounds to me that you understood my stance on Burrow. I was concerned that he could be a bust. There is always a concern when you don't know if a player's record-breaking stats come from a system (see QBs from Houston and Hawaii), the talent around him, or from their own talent. In Burrow's case, he had a pro-style offense with a multitude of talent around him. They were pretty much undefendable. The Clemson defense he torched last year was not the porous defense that Fields destroyed. They had no secondary at all and very little pass rush from the front 4.
From his play in the NFL, he appears to be a good pick. Hopefully, he recovers from his injury and has a long career.
@@g.holland4862 Are you illiterate? I said I don't understand your stance. Please leave me alone.
"In real life very handsome and tall" lmao
I’m glad he missed the meeting.
Great City!
Once I noticed Ryan's hairline, I couldn't look away
Very glad to see Leaf having bounced back.
It’s nice to see Ryan leaf heathly happy and clean.
He should have read the letter in the voice lol
That letter tho!
To be fair, Ryan Leaf was fantastic in college. It’s unfathomable to think about now because we know what Peyton went on to do, but back then there was an actual argument that Ryan Leaf was on the same level as Manning, with some thinking he was even better.
L3 - 37 Big facts. Problem is he had the maturity of an 8 year old. If he actually put in effort and wasn’t such a pain he probably could have a been a really good QB in the NFL
There were red flags out the ass on ryan leaf that teams just ignored (and teams tend to still ignore for whatever reason)... he had SEVERE anger and temperment issues getting into fights with teamates on the regular, a MASSIVE ego, the maturity of an 8yr old, didnt like preparing or practicing, showed up late to pretty much everything (if he showed up at all).. i mean the list of red flags was endless
He reminds me of Tom Green for some reason.
For a second I thought Mark Schlereth lost 25 lbs..
Looking good Ryan Leaf.
Everytime I see Pat do a cartwheel onto the screen I realize he is the most athletic man ever to play the position of punter.
Jarrett Shaw Ray Guy was not only a punter but an All-American safety at Southern Miss with 8 passes intercepted in his senior year. Along with his 93 yard punt against Ole Miss he kicked at 61 yard field goal in a blinding snow storm in Utah.
The ghost of Rick Tuten says hello.
Ryan Leaf was amazing at WASU (as was Bledsoe obviously)
Ryan Leaf explaining life decisions is hilarious.
Hearing him say I NEED premium seats at sporting events tells you all you need to know about R Leaf.
"I wasn't thinking clearly. I didn't realize that Marshall Faulk and Marvin Harrison were in that locker room."
To be fair to Ryan Leaf, Marvin Harrison wasn't the Marvin Harrison we remember in 1998.
The offensive line situation would have looked a lot better in San Diego. Both the Colts and the Bolts got new left tackles in 1998. SD was getting a veteran left tackle from a playoff team and Indy was getting a converted guard from the worst team in the league. (Tarik Glenn wasn't Tarik Glenn yet, either.)
If you wanna see how much being an NFL veteran ages you, look at Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning. Both 43 but Peyton looks like he’s 56 and Ryan looks 38. All those years in the league have really taken a toll on Peyton.
I met Ryan when I was a freshman in high school in 1996, during Cougar week at Wazzu. He was a giant of a man of course I was only 5'3 130 Haha.
Ryan Leaf turned into an awesome and interesting dude
At the time, this was a toss up. A lot of us in Indiana thought Leaf would be more durable.
Always great listening to leaf, such a different person now (for the better obviously)
"success is money, power and prestige"
Ryan Leaf: Oh yeah, the colts really wanted me but I didnt want to play there so they drafted Peyton instead.
Real Life: Sure, that probably not made up...
He didnt say that tho...
I don’t remember Leaf really being considered over Peyton. Feels like a story people just like to tell.
Close Quarters It’s true. It was such a tough decision, that Jim Irsay brought in famed sports psychologist Jon Niednagel to learn his opinion. He told Colts management that Manning would be one of the greats, while Leaf would most likely be a bust.
Ryan Leaf looks and sounds like James Hetfeild
Im happy to see leaf landed on his feet and is a matured level headed dude
Wow
I still think if he went into the NFL with a clear head and didn’t deal with what he did mentally and did the thing he was doing he could have been a good quarterback
Watch him against Michigan (Brian Griese).....Leaf looks good.
Subliminal message at 245 saying seatgeek.
Good to see Ryan Leaf has his shit straight.
Leaf talks like he doesn’t remember he sucked
He doesn’t need to care, but everybody definitely remembers haha. But hey you got me
L3 - 37 I won’t argue that part of your point. My point is simply he didn’t. Regardless of the talent he had and could have been, he didn’t achieve any success besides the success of being drafted
I'm a colts Fan. I like leaf, the guy is cool and hella funny.
Why do my chargers always get FUCKED. GIVE ME BRADY DAMN IT IM TIRED
This guy definitely came a long way. Much respect
Funny interview man but your T-shirt mr. McAfee stole the show
Collin Jost’s older brother?
Everyone’s like WOW he’s matured so much he’s so different!!!! Like no shit he got humbled in the biggest way was a major bust and has been scrutinized like hell. Plus you just mature as you get older and he’s in his 40’s.. No shit he matured
Have you seen the girls in San Diego? Smart choice
My guess is coked up Jimmy wanted Leaf lol.
Ryan "Bust" Leaf
Back then, I thought Leaf would be a better QB. He was bigger with a million dollar arm. I didn't know he had a 5 cent head though.
I thought this guy was still in prison
I have full respect for ryan leaf. His NFL career does not define him.
Much respect to Ryan for turning his life around and even poking fun at himself
His voice sounds like Tom Selleck. No homo.
I wish so bad that Irsay would have been stuck with Leaf
This is great, especially since he low-key burned leaf a couple episodes ago
Lol listening to this confirms the FACT that Jerry needs to turn over the reigns to a football guy that more qualified than him
The fact that Hunter S. Thompson watched football is something that I would've never imagined, granted he's not a very good football scout.
You're kidding, right? The dude was literally paid to write about football...
As a colts fan, thank fuck we didn't get Ryan Leaf..
Also, that letter proved that Hunter doesn't know fuck all.
Hide your pills.
Leaf was my hero. Sucks he didn't succeed but when he played for the Cowboys you could see what was there...
They took manning coz he impressed them in the meeting and at the end he told them "if u dont pick me i'm gonna kick your butts for the next 15 years" haha
I'm a Colts fan and wanted Leaf over Manning. Damn that was a dumb wish.
That letter makes you wonder just how much of a BUM Ryan Leaf feels himself to be after letting down such an icon who had such faith in him. And THEN to mention Harrison and Faulk as guys he COULD HAVE been teamed with... Somehow I believe what happened with Leaf IS what informed Archie on telling Eli to stay away from San Diego in 2004.
Unless Leaf is high, I don’t believe a word he says. Hunter Thompson knew zilch about football. Ryan Leaf calling Thompson a druggie??? A guy who could have been in prisoned for the rest of his life for burglary, possession of illegal substances, repeatedly, labeling anyone a drug addict, wow
Dude the only clip of Leaf off field is that locker room clip where he freaks out, but listening to him now, I really like him lol I could never understand the stress of a first round first pick qb on a team that gets him beaten to hell, I'd be mad too lmao good on you Ryan Leaf, have on you
Thank God Jimmy didn't listen cuz Hunter S Thompson had no clue what the fuck he was talkin about Leaf was a bust in Manning is a legend
All due respect to a man that turned around his life, after peyton interviewed it was done.
Leaf could have been a great NFL QB. Immaturity & Drugs played the biggest roles in his failure. I'm not saying that he would have been better than Manning. If he went to a better team with a better coach that was all huggy and developed a relationship with Leaf his story would have turned out much different.
Make Ryan leaf permanent
This why u don’t listen to an author when it comes to sports.
Which author you talking about or do you mean authors in general?
Hunter S. Thompson was originally a sports writer for a long time.
Love HST but he was wrong on Manning. - He who makes a beast of himself relieves himself the pain of being a man.
Whoa
Do you think Peyton would have flaked like his brother if he was drafted by San Diego?
Its nice to see that hes turned his life around
Ryan Leaf makes Peyton 1000x better than the 🐐 he already is
Let me comment again, RYAN LEAF was a BUST. San Diego Chargers eternal ⚡️
Eric Rios boltz for life
Dylan Decker life
Brett Favre Favre has the record for most consecutive starts. And I just looked where Peyton Manning is on the list and it says he is number 8 for most consecutive starts which is still impressive
They mean starts by a QB. Peyton is 4th.
At one time Peyton was second to Favre, now he is 4th after being passed by Rivers and his bro Eli.
Flawed definition of success.
Colts dodged a bullet with this guy.
God it’s unreal how terrible Ryan leaf turned out to be and we all know Peyton was not slipping in that draft
The bears mri helped colts get manning. You're welcome colts fan 😠
RMTGames and lost the bears a potential Super Bowl
Marshall Faulk and Marvin Harrison shaking in their boots knowing how they dodged a bullet having this quack for their QB vs Manning.
I mean faulk only played a year with Manning and a qb made no difference with faulk because indys offensive line was a prison break for 3yrs
Thank god they didn't draft him
Fucking bust. He let my chargers down.
Dude looks like he has giant hands, even for a pro QB.
Ryan “I like pills” Leaf
Wack
What a legend Ryan Leaf is. More interceptions than any other player.
I love all the people in the comments like, "Im glad this guy pulled his life together..", lmao from what? getting payed millions of dollars to suck at playing professional football? Gimme a break.
Jesus 🤔 pats reading skills could use......so..m..e.....wooo...rr..k?
Didn't he do prison time?
Ngl, pat needs some work with his reading skills
Reminds me of: "Fooooootball Treee-Outs.......WHAT THE HELLS A TREE OUT??"
