I guess the millions Ryan Leaf made getting his dozen or so touchdowns (and twice as many interceptions) in the NFL playing for the San Diego Chargers near the end of the century just wasn't enough.

The number 2 pick for San Diego's Chargers was arrested trying to cross the US/Canada border on a warrant out of Texas for drugs and burglary charges.

Leaf posted a $45k bond in Washington State and promised to appear in Texas to face burglary and like 7 counts of drug related charges involving fraud and delivery.

Ouch!

So I wonder... as a disgruntled fan, can I get a refund out of some of that bond money?

This is going to lead to a rant, I'll just tell you right now.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently said:

Michael Vick has paid a significant price for doing an "egregious thing" and will have to show genuine remorse and that the experience has changed him in order to get a chance at resuming his career in the league.

Wait... What!??

Is he actually considering letting him get back into the NFL? The guy's a liar AND an ef'n nut job who already lied once. What makes Goodell think he's not going to lie to get back in the game?

Now don't get me wrong, I'm about forgive and forget. For some things. What this a-hole did to those dogs while we paid him a very nice chunk of change is un-forgivable. Period.

Hey, Commish... if you're reading this, I would like to give you a piece of advice; Don't. Do. It! You will lose a lot of viewers, and not that I'm a big deal, but I WILL remind both of my regular readers that you're spitting in the faces of those that pay your salary.

Last year the Lions had the season of the century in their 0-16 season. It was truly epic in its own right.

The are now in a league of their own. As well they should be. Now if we can just find a good high school team to play them we might get a good game...

Jay Cutler. Bear fan as a child, Broncos Quarterback as an adult. He threw for more yards last year for the Broncos than any Bears Quarterback in any season. Ever. Now the Bears have him and Jay Cutler couldn't be happier. He said it's a dream come true, and for the Bears, their dream (of a Championship Title) is now a very real possibility.

Lets face it, the Bears have been in hibernation for decades. They've had a few shining moments in the last half century but overall they have failed to produce an effective offense. One that could confidently march down the field and score. in a hurry. They've relied on a ground game for longer than I can remember and it's going to be nice to see what Cutler can bring to the gridiron.

The NFL's Denver Broncos Quarterback Jay Cutler wants to cut his ties with the team after Josh McDaniels tried to get Matt Casses last month. Cutler feels like he got stabbed in the back, and the damage is likely to be permanent. He wants out. If he didn't come out and say it, he showed it loud and clear by not attending a "non mandatory" team meeting this week.

Cutler will move on, there's no doubt in my mind. He's going to be gobbled up by a hungry team for cheap. Denver will have its hands full trying to find a replacement. And if they don't find a winner, they'll be finding a new coach soon, too.

Chargers, Tomlinson agree on new three-year contract

The National Football League's San Diego Chargers announced a new 3 year contract with LaDainian Tomlinson through 2011.

Here's the kicker... it's for LESS than his original contract. LT is almost a sure bet for the Hall of Fame and I can't imagine him not getting offers for more money from other teams.

"I love San Diego and being a part of this team with my teammates," said Tomlinson. "My number-one priority was to stay here in San Diego. I truly believe this is the place that gives me the best chance to be successful and win a championship. I want to finish the job we started when I got here eight years ago. My heart has always been in San Diego. I couldn't imagine putting on another uniform."

LT is deeply involved in the community here and it's great to see him stay. Now lets hope the entire team doesn't up and move away.

Coast Guard Capt. Timothy Close said Search and Rescue crews were finishing up their search at sunset on Tuesday for the 3 remaining people that were lost at sea when their boat capsized.

The Coast Guard The news came after crews combed choppy waters off the Florida Gulf Coast for a third full day since NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith and friend William Bleakley disappeared. Their fishing boat capsized in stormy seas Saturday evening.

One of the four on the excursion, Nick Schuyler, survived. He said the group stayed together for a while, then separated and were lost.
