mk 11 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 here's the thing, I've heard from a pretty reliable source who's a friend of the leaf family that Leaf is NOT busto... that he banked his signing bonus ( which was around 10 million) with friends of the family who are in fianance ( notice how different life is for the white quarterback as opposed to the black cornerback) and still has all that money, plus how ever much it's grown. He may not have access to it right now, or easy access to it... but he's not really at rock bottom either yet.doesn't quite jib with the multiple burglaries jibe Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 doesn't quite jib with the multiple burglaries jibeKinda, but dope is weird like that. Chuck Negron (lead singer, Three Dog Night) talked about when he was at the depths of his heroin addiction, selling his flat in Manhattan for some trivial sum- that amounted to whatever cash a wealthy friend had on him- to score. Townes Van Zandt sold (or tried to sell) the publishing rights to his first four albums for $20, same addiction. Even if Leaf still has all (or much) of the NFL loot, when that monkey comes-a-clawin' , you're going to do whatever you have to do. In the case of pill heads, that means buying them if you have a connection and the money. If you don't have a connection or money and know someone who has a scrip, trying to cajole them into giving you some. If they have some but won't give you any, breaking in and stealing it. If you don't know anyone who has any, don't have money to buy it and/or don't have a reliable connection, its Drugstore Cowboy time. Go talk to any pill head, the progression is always exactly like that. Money makes it a lot easier to live high but all the money in the world doesn't mean much when you have an addiction and can't score easily. Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) was in the Playboy mansion sucking coke dealer cawk to score blow when she still had plenty of money. It's just that the d-man wanted something different from her but if he wanted money, she would've given that too. Link to post Share on other sites

NickCave 194 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 He was recently remanded to prison to serve out a 7 yeaer sentence, due to busting out of rehab. Â I don't think that's right. He was just being an ass in rehab and they finally had enough and violated him Link to post Share on other sites
NickCave 194 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Also, prison is rarely the best option for anything. Place just ****s people up and often leads to impotence, helplessness, desperation and eventually a kind of unavoidable and predictable recidivism. Going to jail makes you a lot more likely to go to jail in the future, because jail. Â Â Edit: I've never been to prison, but I have spent some time in jail for nonsense stuff. It was like summer camp for fake hardasses. Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I lived in E-WA for many years. The stories of Leaf's escapades around Pullman (Where WSU is) and Spokane are legendary. Typical golden boy who had everyone telling him how great he was, giving him gifts, flying him to parties in L.A and Vegas. (Several) Million dollar arm and a .10 cent head. Just could not deal with failure and, for the first time in his life, not being the best. His jail time was mostly for crimes committed trying to get drugs. You can't just ignore breaking the law because he's a drug addict. Though it is a sad story. Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to argue his problems are best handled by courts and prison, fine, but you have to at least try to make sense.

Roll the Bones 74 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 This is a little off the topic, but did you guys see that Florida has a law going into effect in 2 weeks that bans any smoking device, pipes, bongs, etc.. Get caught twice and it's a felony. What it really boils down to is ALEC owning congressmen in certain states and getting them to pass ignorant legislation that benefits their business. In this case, it's private prisons who stand to make a fortune housing non-violent offenders. Gov Scott is obviously just a tool for the corporate cronies and people are too damn stupid to see through the mess. He bills this as being, "tough on drugs" and people aren't the wiser. Incarcerating non-violent offenders only makes them less employable and more prone to commit further crimes. There is no monetary benefit for the state, and in fact it will likely cost them money. It's all batshit insane. And the funny thing is, other states like Colorado have gone the complete opposite direction making it legal, and in fact hired government agents to actively seek drug dealers and convince them to go into business legitamately since they have the actual business experience. win/win.

Balloon guy 158 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Getting drug dealers to go legit because they have 'actual business experience'? Â That's not even remotely right. Â I mean they have more business experience than Obama, but 'actual business experience'? Â Colorado is such a mix of smart and stupid Link to post Share on other sites
