    And the prison football team just got that much better for the next 10 years:

    Is it possible that he is the greatest waste of talent in NFL history?

    Ryan Leaf was an earlier version of Roethlisberger.

    Leaf at WSU did some amazing shit.

    I disagree. It's sad. Here's a young man who obviously had issues, but could play football. As long as he played, people gave him what he wanted and got him out of numerous jams. Society is as much to blame for Lawrence Phillips as he is to blame for himself.

    To blame: Lawrence Phillips 90%, Tom Osborne 8%, society 2%

    Phillips is a grown man but his perception of right and wrong is skewed. This goes back way before Osborne.

    That's what is wrong with society. People blame everything and everyone but themselves for being dumbshit assholes while dumbshit assholes like you give them a reason. He had a bad childhood. Boo fucking hoo. How many people in the world had bad childhoods and grew up to be good people?
