DaFace and I were just talking football, and we looked something up and remembered this little fact.
Not only was Ryan Leaf a colossal bust with the #2 pick in the draft, but San Diego traded up to get him. The Cardinals held the #2 slot and the Chargers held the #3 spot. To move up one spot in the first round, the Chargers gave the Cardinals...
the #3 pick in the first round in 1998 (Andre Wadsworth)
their first-round pick the next year (#8 - David Boston)
their second-round pick in 1998 (#33 - Corey Chavous)
kick returner Eric Metcalf
linebacker Patrick Sapp
I didn't remember that the Chargers traded into that spot. Ouch. [Reply]

In some parallel universe, Ryan Leaf is running off the field after his fourth straight Super Bowl victory, sweat streaming down his face and a three-breasted Suzy Kolber chasing him for an interview. [Reply]

How about this, this year you can be the best team under .500, and the best team to have a bottom ranked defense.
