Ryan Leaf kicked out of rehab center, sent to prison

[ram29jackson]

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been moved from a central Montana drug treatment center to the state prison in Deer Lodge.

Regional probation and parole administrator Dawn Handa told the Great Falls Tribune on Thursday that Leaf was terminated from the Nexus Treatment Center in Lewistown after violating the conditions of the placement, including threatening a staff member.

Leaf was charged with breaking into two houses and stealing prescription painkillers. He pleaded guilty to burglary and criminal possession of dangerous drugs. He was sentenced in June to five years with the Department of Corrections with the recommendation that he spend the first nine months in a locked drug treatment facility.

It's amazing that in one draft the top 2 QB's ended up being one of the GOAT and this guy. Polar opposites.

I wish this dude's entire life was on TV ala the Truman Show.

First person to ever OD on live television. Talk about ratings!

Dumb.......you'd think he would have gotten it after all of this time. Don't really feel sorry for him at this point.

Hard for me to feel sorry for him either at this point. I think he's fried his eggs with too many drugs over the years and prison is probably the best place for him.

When he looks back over his life with where he was and what he could have had I'm sure he gets deeply depressed.

Wait....people actually felt sorry for him in the first place?
