Why does a former Chargers QB continues to Struggle with Life after College?
On Thursday, former San Diego Chargers quarterback, Ryan Leaf was indicted with on drug and burglary charges. What’s is wrong with this story? The fact that Leaf cannot turned his life around in unbelievable. The Chargers drafted Ryan Leaf as their first pick and second overall draft pick in the 1998 draft. But, Ryan Leaf’s NFL career turned out be a was huge disappointment.
Ryan Leaf’s NFL career ended in 2002. After a short stint as West Texas A&M quarterbacks coach, Ryan Leaf was put on indefinite leave for allegedly asking one of his players for a pain killer. In late 2008, he resigned from his position at West Texas.
But, the fact that Ryan Leaf continues to struggle with life after football is too bad. Coming out Washington State, there was so much potential for Ryan Leaf as a successful college player. And for all that potential to not be fulfilled is unfortunate. If Ryan Leaf has hit rock bottom, hopefully he will be able to get his life straight, but we will have to wait and see what happens next.

What’s Next for Michael Vick?
Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, Michael Vick was released from prison today. Michael Vick served 19 months in prison for a dogfighting conviction. Now that he is out of prison, so what’s next for Michael Vick? If you believe in second chances, then after Michael Vick meets all the requirements that the NFL asks him to do, then Vick should be able to play in the NFL again. However, if one believes that what Vick did was very cruel and wrong then he should not be able to have the privilege of playing in the NFL.
Michael Vick first priority should be being with his family first. Then, Vick must focus on his new job at a construction company. But, once is clear that Michael Vick could play in the NFL, should he be able to play in the NFL?
The best thing for Michael Vick to do is that he should meet with both the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Humane Society of the United States and try to figure out the best way for him to make his second chance a successful one. Michael Vick’s future and his chance of playing in the NFL remains a mystery. Only time will tell if Michael Vick has learned his lesson and will become a better person. Stay tuned.

What’s Wrong with being Rewarded?
One of the rewards of winning the Super Bowl is getting a chance to meet the President of the United States. And this year, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the honor of meeting President Barack Obama. However, for one Steelers player, James Harrison decided that he was not going to the White House to meet the President.
James Harrison, the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, told a Pittsburgh news station that if the Arizona Cardinals would have won the Super Bowl then the President would have met with the Arizona Cardinals and not the Steelers. Well, of course, if the Arizona Cardinals would have won, they would have earned the honor of meeting the President. Since the Cardinals didn’t win, they did not get rewarded.
James Harrison has that choice of not meeting the President. But, the President has a busy schedule and for him to take the time away from that to meet with the Super Bowl Champions, Pittsburgh Steelers even if you do not agree with his policies, one should be proud and honor because not everyone gets that chance to meet President.
