Frinklin points out that the SDUT is still beating the Ryan Leaf dead horse. Frinklin speaks:

When I moved to San Diego, I learned real quick how much everyone here hated Ryan Leaf. It is not dislike either; it is a visceral, seething hatred, which everyone seems to have. They treat him here as if he went around killing children, instead of being a lousy pro quarterback. Today, the San Diego Union Tribune felt the need to point out he’s moving away, and getting a divorce. C’mon, does it really matter? The Chargers have been terrible since he left; they have a bright shiny new QB of the future. Let us just get on with our lives. I won’t ever defend him as a person; he’s a jerk and always has been. I will say this though: Ryan Leaf was the best college quarterback I have ever seen. He did what was thought to be impossible: took the Cougars to their first Rose Bowl in 67 years! As a Coug, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for Ryan Leaf. So please people, just move on.

    I saw Ryan Leaf play in the in the Rose Bowl, when my beloved Wolverines beat the Cougars. Both quarterbacks played pretty rotten games as I remember, and when our Chargers picked Leaf with the #2 pick, I was staggered. The PAC-10 must have been pretty weak that year. Leaf sucked.
