Leaf

As the executive fry station chef (EFSC) at the Burger Barn I have a direct line of sight to the front counter interactions. Over the decades there I’ve seen some shit.

I’m older, maybe Coach Johnson softened over the years? In my day he would have had Jesus Christ doing after practice bear crawls for calling too much attention to himself. Then again, given Jesus’s 40 time, everyone knew he would never be a D-1 athlete 👍
Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a Curve Ball!!

I don't know. He has the all-time record for high jump ... by a lot.
 
I can’t find the worst fans FCS poll Leaf is referring to but see many with the Griz as the best FCS fans. Even during this undefeated season in Bozeman when the Griz are missing some key pieces WaGriz still outdrew the litter box by nearly 4,000 fans a game.
This is a stupid comment. You have 8,000 more seats. We sell out every game in hours.
 
Doing my best to keep things real for people like you that live in a fantasy land.
What fantasy land is that? Unlike Ryan and you, who apparently condone his behaviors, I was raised:
1. To be accountable for my actions
2. To never hit a woman
3. To never commit an act that results in spending time behind bars.

It’s never been about his dislike of UM.
 
Then why did he put the Griz thing in his tweet. I knew him a bit when he was in high school and he was good to our younger football son. My daughter was good friends with his middle brother. I have run across him other times. I have semi defended him multiple times. At this point, F him.
I'd be curious her take on Jeff. I've heard from friends that were that age that Jeff was the nice one of the 3 in high school. He just had none of the athleticism of the other 2.
 
You got Dave Dickenson 5’10 190 pounds soaking wet with an ok arm but a champion in college and the pros. From the same town you have Ryan Leaf 6’6 250 pounds with a cannon of an arm but never was able to win anything of significance, not even the captaincy at CMR!
He did win the state AA title as a junior.
 
When my friends and I would go to Dinner with Leaf (maybe every other yearish) when he was still in the NFL I believe, he would always try and play a game called "More Famous" where he would go through his phone and ask everyone if they had the phone number to somebody more famous than he did... I had him beat one year, and was never invited to dinner again. (I had Prince, Lisa Loeb, and Peanut from 311... Prince won the table vote). Nobody at the table had any clue that I knew these people, because I didn't talk about it every 10 seconds.
Name dropping on egriz...what an ass you are. 😆 🤣 😂
 
The fact that you gris fans are so butthurt over Leaf trolling you is hilarious. It just feeds his persona.

I don't know him or any of his family. Does he seem like an asshole? Yup. Has he made a ton of stupid decisions. Yup. Has he suffered the consequences of those actions? I would say that he has. Will he do something stupid again in the future? Most likely. Is he obligated to ask forgiveness to Montana (both the school and the state) for disrespecting you/us in the past? Not really in my opinion.

What I see right now is that he is owning his past and not running from it. He is trying to build something with his life and maybe do some good somewhere. Sure he is on about his 6th chance but instead of being butthurt for being disrespected, I think that gris fans should own their own deficiencies and roll with it.

He is a caustic asshole, but he has disowned you, so he is not your caustic asshole, you have enough of those in you fanbase anyway.
Oh cats win and you show up? Sweet. Im still certain I know you since Lewistown is such a small town, and people there know me. That said, suck it!
 
Ryan does this because he can. He's trolling and doing a damn good job at it.

I'm the same age, played a bunch of sports against him, and yes he was a unmitigated tool in HS. I was on the Big Sky HS team (I merely stood and watched) that he lost to in final HS FB game and called us rock pickers. Still one of the best all around athletes I've seen in person at the high school level in Montana.

I got to know him over the years and he's been nothing but personable to me. Worked in two different school districts in Montana with members of his extended family during his descent into addiction and it colored it a bit differently for me.

If you live in glass houses, you probably shouldn't throw stones. I follow him on twitter and he's at least publicly embraced his past failures with a bit of humor. I know that for many when it comes to Ryan, particularly on the western side of the state, they just don't care whether throw aspersions at him for actions that they have/or currently do themselves. Ryan could have stayed in that gutter, but he pulled himself out. To that he should be given credit.

Is he still that tool? Absolutely, and even if was different in reality, it is a simple fact that some Montanans are still bitter about 1994.

But you are getting trolled regardless.
Dude beats women.

You sound like an abuser apologist. Gross.

No real man lays an angry hand on a woman. As such - he can never pull himself out of his gutter. He lives there in perpetuity.

I'm glad he is "trolling." Let's us educate a whole bunch of new people about him.

He's a addict and a convict. He's been given way more breaks than any other addict and convict would because he had a couple good seasons playing at WSU. Now he is on this phony redemption tour that I'm sure he charges groups to speak at. He just got off probation again in 2023 and he still gets a microphone to speak. It's not like this is all in his past. It is who he is.
 
Breaking news Ryan Leaf cut by the Chargers due to lack of football knowledge. Junior Seau and John Carney tried to educate and Leaf responded knock it off!
 
It would seem we have our very own version of PlayerRep. Bummer. Wish he wouldn't post like this.
Leaf and I have very little in common except that we were good athletes. Ha. He made more money, but if I live to 1,000, I may catch him. Ha.

ABQ, do you really think what you said was funny? You are a total idiot, and that’s what I have always thought of you. What a loser.
 
I worked for years with one of his many cousins here in Billings who went to his wedding 25-30 years ago and told me, " Ryan is just misjnderstood !" And this cousin is a nice guy and a big Shi##y Kitty alum !!!

My mom went to school with a kid in Roundup that grew up to become a high-school teacher @ CMR. The way Don explained his former student Ryan Leaf was Leaf came from a great family in Great Falls, really nice people including his siblings, but Ryan was an a$$ hole, apparently born with the a hole gene that the rest of his family didn't have, Thank God !!!
The latter para is more accurate. I have tried to support him a few times over the years when he was unfairly clobbered, but he has huge faults. I met his parents a few times and they seemed nice. However, some friends told me that some of his issues were tolerated
by his parents. I won’t diss the parents.

She liked him. I think they were classmates and both played hoops. He was a good athlete too, just not big like the 2 brothers. We went to the Rose Bowl that WSU year. Our daughter was looking at colleges. I think she was in touch with the brother. A GF friend of mine who knew the Leafs an d was at the Roae Bowl asked me if I would review Leaf’s agent contract during or after the Rose Bowl, but that didn’t occur.

I know more than I should mention on here, by this is generally true per my experience. He ended up paying up for it ten times over.

I don't apologize for his behavior or his actions. I've just chose to move on and hope that anyone has the opportunity to atone for their sins.

I thought for sure you were going to say you had PR's number!

Dude can sleep on the streets. He is as he always was. You are easily fooled by his facade.

Never forget:
