I said it before and I’ll say it again. Ryan leafs story is just as important as Tom Brady’s. His recovery and life are an inspiration. Thanks 🙏
Stop
Yeah. Good take. This cat is actually inspirational.
I wonder how much these bots cost to spread false information about somebody you know the way congressional folk use Twitter to boost there likes online lol
Agreed. Self aware and helping others. Much more valuable to others more heroic than if he was successful in the NFL.
Lmfao
This is what maturity looks like. Taking full responsibility for your failures, and sharing your story as a light to others. He took the long road, but ultimately Ryan Leaf arrived at success.
Or he knows if he didn’t take this approach no one would pay any attention to him
@@paleo704 yep. It's all marketing.
My respect for Ryan Leaf is immense. He's genuine, he's honest, he's open and he's about as real as a person can get. Unlike a certain recent superstar QB, he has no qualms about owning his mistakes. And the fact he hopes his struggles can help someone else is also impressive. Leaf is truly human: a good person who has made mistakes along the way but keeps trying to be better. As always, I wish him nothing but good health and good days ahead of him.
in the end Ryan will actually help far more people, fans and former players, than any success of any famous QB
Just made a lot similar comment. Totally agree. It's rare for guys in his position to admit to the faults and make a conscientious effort to better themselves. He's just an impressive dude
Every time I see Ryan on a broadcast for a game, or hear him on the air, or see him speaking with or filling in for Rich, I just gotta smile. He’s got a whole new life and worked tirelessly for it. And Rich, thank you for your help to get him further exposure.
Ryan Leaf sharing his story is really inspiring. I'm happy to see this
Rich's question about stepping away due to mental health back in 1998 vs. now was excellent, and Ryan's response hit it out of the park. We really have come a long way in terms of mental health recognition and treatment since the 90s, even though to me the 90s still feel pretty recent
It a bigger man to admit to his mistakes and I'm very PROUD of Ryan it takes guts God Bless you, remember one thing one day at a time thanks for sharing.
Ryan Leaf is a standard. Glad to see he’s doing what he’s doing. Impossible not to like this guy and respect how he overcame so many things. His honesty is something we could all learn from. Ever forward Mr Leaf.
Incredible, self awareness, and articulate individual. A life journey to educate , inspire , and redeem the struggling
I like Ryan Leaf is rising above his struggles and helping others with theirs. Good for him helping and I'm routing for him
Ryan Leaf is the biggest inspiration in sports today! As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety I can say that I am so proud of Ryan for what he has done to turn his life around and how brave he is for speaking about it
I LOVE seeing Ryan Leaf as such an intelligent, well spoken, fun personality kind of guy. It's almost like he's not even the same physical person. Kudos to him for turning his life around. He has certainly earned my respect and admiration. Greatness!
I’d love to sit with him and pick his brain about which quarterbacks he loves to watch, and which teams he likes to follow.
Ryan has turned it around 100%. Happy for the man. And major kudos to Rich for giving Ryan a chance. Ryan was very good as substitute host last week.
I would absolutely watch or listen to a regular Ryan show.
Mad respect for Leaf for owning his mistakes.
Grew up a fan of the Washington Huskies and hated Leaf with a passion. Laughed when he busted out. Maturing myself and seeing a man own his failures like this while trying to help others avoid them is THE very story of redemption. Now I love and admire Ryan Leaf.
Well said! I’m a San Diego chargers fan, and this makes me feel a lot better n many different ways
I really like Ryan. It's hard for guys like him to admit to their faults and better themselves. Just an impressive dude
As a 3rd generation Wazzu Cougar, I've been following Ryan for a long time including going to the 1998 Rose Bowl. I've heard a few first hand stories of his time in Pullman. This interview was great; both gut wrenching and sincere. Good for you, Ryan, for your heartfelt comments. I'll be listening to your podcast.
Good for you Ryan Leaf, what a face turn
Ryan Leaf is such an amazing story of resilience. Inspiring. Amazing. Thanks, Ryan, for showing us how we can all make comebacks.
It's really great to see Ryan like this. I'm a UW fan and he was a local nemesis at WSU. But I'm a big fan of humanity and personal growth and he certainly looks like he has. Good for you Leaf.
Complete respect for Ryan Leaf ..and a hope that he succeeds in his endeavors ..
As a long time charger fan. I wish this was the Ryan Leaf they drafted. Because his raw talent was undeniable. But, he’s found his success in what he’s doing now. Success is measured in different ways. My kids teach me that all of the time.
Brother I feel you! I’m glad he’s better now.
Ryan has a great voice for tv/podcasting
It's good to see that he's turned his life completely around and is doing something creative.
When a person is 💯 real with themselves it's refreshing....
Ryan Leaf and his story.............incredible. I wish the greatest success and PEACE for this man. WOW !!!!
Really can't get enough of listening to this kid talk....Very happy that he's in a much much better place because it could have really went off the rails......Keep it up Ryan....
He should have called it "leaf 180". That's what he's done. Dude filled in for Rich perfectly. I liked Listening ALMOST as much as Rich...
But Damn.. he's still built like the perfect QB!
Yeah, he is clearly a very talented host and speaker who could easily have a career in radio or television.
Good thing you don't do anything creative for a living bc that's as lazy and stupid of a name as I've heard. OK he turned a 180 leaf 180 doesn't even sound good 😆
The Ryan Leaf story is AWESOME!!! GOD bless him.
I was never a Ryan Leaf fan BUT I can tell you, I love that he's matured. 👍🏾
I don't think anyone was a fan, good 4 him
Cheers brother !
His honesty is as impressive as it is refreshing. I wish some of our politicians were this honest
It’s good to see Ryan leaf figuring out that a performance in a sport doesn’t define you as a person, only you can control that. It’s great to see.
I love this guy! He owns it and is moving forward. Good for him!
Absolutely amazed how well thought out and put together he's become! Bravo Ryan!
Ryan leafs story is just as important as Tom Brady’s
Ryan Leaf Show Host and Ryan Leaf NFL Quarterback couldn't be further apart. Great job filling in for Rich and I actually want to listen to more from him!
I have really, really grown to like and respect Ryan Leaf in the later years cause I know first hand about immaturity...I could have accomplished so much in my 20's and early 30's if I wasn't so damn IMMATURE!!
He should have a podcast interviewing all of the busts in sports.
Ryan Leaf is an excellent human, and I’m so glad he’s found family and success in media in his new life.
Ryan Leaf is what we need right now
Thanks for the honest, hard, brutal truth. Respect Bro🖖😎
What a tremendous story of redemption! Bravo Ryan Leaf!
Wish more ppl would see this interview...
I'll keep it simple. I'm proud of you Ryan.
That last bit about owning his agency of choice, instead of playing victim... That's a Gronk level end zone spike into a Tebow kneel.
Ryan Leaf is a real man. It takes a real man to admit his shortcomings
Ryan needs to be the guy that interviews Tom Brady and gets him to come clean about what the reality was with "The tuck rule" ... "The Falcons Super Bowl" ... How they did Drew Bledsoe, among other things.
🙏 for you my guy, love your new attitude 👍
Ryan bravely tells his story that sets up his pod to interview other “busts”. First episode that isn’t Leaf has to be Jamarcus Russell, then who else? Love the idea of what this pod could be
It's interesting he mentioned Dave Dickenson.....and great point, you can have the physical abilities but without good stuff between the ears it won't matter much....oh yeah, GO GRIZ!
Godbless you Brother.👍😉❤️
Episode 1 - Jamarcus Russell
Episode 2 - Todd Van Poppel
Episode 3 - Joe Barry Carroll
Episode 4 - Heath Shuler
Episode 5 - Rick Mirer
Episode 6 - Lawrence Phillips
Episode 7 Henry Ruggs
Episode 8 - Lamar Jackson. Yeah I said it.
@@StrikeTeam0316
Yeah, you said it, but why?
@@aaronstark5060 because he’s a high draft pick that will:
1. Not win a Super Bowl
2. Get MULTIPLE HCs fired
3. set back Baltimore many years.
The podcast was AWESOME!
Dude looks better in his 40s than he did in his 20s. Respect
Ryan Leaf was a Bust as a human being point blank! I hope that he truly has learned how to treat people. Good for him now realizing he is above no one!
It is so good to see him so solid, iits therapeutic
glad dude pulled out of his early failure and is making a go of it
This guy is the poster child of redemption
RYAN!!!!!!!! Stay positive brotha.
I wish him the best!.....
goes to show you God has a plan. Some of the things we go through in life are necessary to prepare us for our life's purpose.
fucking awesome and very inspiring...thank you Ryan...addiction is a serious disease.
this is excellent
America needs to watch this
This is the most insane comeback I've ever seen. OK second after Vick but still I never thought I'd hear from leaf after going to prison for stealing players opioids
he's such a great story. and guy.
I think you’ve got Brett Farve and Brandon Marshall as pioneers of those who were willing to openly say “I need help/I have this issue.”
My grandad always used to say that only those who try, fail. Meaning its better to try and fail then not try at all. Lets all face it he played in the NFL at its toughest position if we did that we would look far worse.
If you really think about it he’s not a failure. He was a top pick of the NFL. How many can say that.
He basically got fired, but that's happened to most of us too at one point or another.
I believe he became aware of Kwame Brown's cast and realized it was needed for his thearapy and to tell his side like Kwame did
San Diego!!
This is a modern day story of Biblical redemption. So awesome.
I just learned before that Kansas city game where Leaf had his poor performance. He was sick during the week leading up to the game and even spent time in the hospital. As tough Arrowhead is to play in that environment. Not that his career would've been a complete180.. As a coach, definalty wasn't doing him any favors.
Kwame had it first
Yuuppp
Facts but he can use it because he definitely was called a bust.
hes right own it
Cool man...cool. I'm glad for you Ryan.
"It's called "bust" named after what I do to my spouse's lip"
- Ryan Leaf
Ryan Leaf may have been a bust in the NFL, but not in life. His story, is inspiring, and most people in life can relate to it. Best of luck to Ryan. Can't wait for the podcast to start.
getting the last laugh! why NOT use that tag to an advantage!? very astute. as for people taking joy in others not succeeding, I guess trolls do that but many others just want to exercise their sympathies, understanding and pardon from wherever they are because they need the same back
Do we really need an explanation?

This vid randomly popped up for me day after ridley got kicked out for gambling and they talk about him lol
Wow
Mental health and being absent from the team will never take precedence because of the fact that you are in a performance producing industry.
Maybe Ridley would be best served in his mental capacity to get off all social media sites has that happened? Does he drink or do drugs? These are all mitigating factors and to improving mental health,
Make your mess your message!
He using Bust like we use Nigga actually
Should've been called 'Branching Out'...
Ridley stepped away to place a few bets
Who here after Ridley got suspended lmao
I wonder what he could've been had he not had his personal problems would he have turned into something near what Peyton Manning became or not?
Personally, I’m rooting for Ryan Leaf but not only bc of his past struggles but bc he lost to that damn Michigan team in the 1997 Rose Bowl. 🌹🏟🌹
That ruined my year. 🏈😡🏈
Go Buckeyes!! 🏈🤠🤚
Oh, too bad, so sad!
Lol Kwame Brown had the Podcast "BustLife" first!!
we should change for the better from a young man to a man in his 40's but Leaf is a complete different person also ridley will get all the time off and more than he wants now
He can't take Kwame Brown name
Kwame Brown Bust Life did it first..but much respect to RL16
Do you really have to ask why Ryan Leaf chose the name 'bust'?
Get Kwame Brown in there!!
Calvin Ridley example didn’t age well…suspended now for gambling.
What else would he call it?? Wtf
Anything but Bust? It's kind of a horrible reminder of what he was. It's cool that he faces that word everyday and lives with it without regret.
Kwame Brown story sounds just like Ryan Leaf only a basketball story.
Stole Kwame Browns thunder
