Hunter S. Thompson's advice on Leaf versus Manning.
Apparently he was a Colts fan, but not a very savvy one.

Way too many psychedelics to evaluate a qb.

Wayback machine when I actually used to peruse the ESPN website, some 15-20 years ago

For a guy whose waking meal aka "breakfast" (whether it be 6 am, 6pm, or any point in between) usually included (but never limited to only) :
4 fried eggs
A couple sirloin steaks
A 3-way tab of LSD
Bottomless screwdriver
Bottomless bloody Mary
A half pound of potatoes
4 or 5 grapefruits, which he would half with a giant Rambo-style hunting knife
Topped off with a salt shaker filled with cocaine, with he would take giant bumps of via the tip of the Rambo knife...

All while reading the Post and watching TV...

Dude had a perspective...but a rational one on football was not amongst his perspective.

I just re-read Fear & Loathing in America again...that one and Generation of Swine are two latter day "flawed gems"...some great rants and awesome indictments if everything from Washington and Hollywood to the local weatherman and sports with the occasional pepperings of liberal paranoia.

When he got his Rolling Stone press tickets to the Dolphins' 'perfect season' SB, he got RS to pay for a Betamax to record the game, then he sold the tickets for drugs, went back to the hotel and either wrote the story after the game while watching a replay getting high in the hotel room...or, as he proclaimed a few times, he wrote the story without watching the game at all...which, just because he doesn't remember watching it, may not mean he didn't (look at his 'breakfast', ffs)

I should have typed into a word processor in my 20s.

His 'Hey Rube' columns were must read, and the book that collects them is a fun trek through sports and pop culture history from a flawed genius.

Edit ebay has "Hey Rube" large paperback for $3.98 shipped.

I feel like Leary would be a Marinovich fan.

I think HST might have been right. Maybe Leaf wouldn't have developed that brain tumor of his if he were in Indy instead of SD.

When I was 16 I did an oral book report on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This was in 97, so before the movie was released. I didn't even know a movie was being made, but it was probably nearly finished.

I asked the teacher 3 times, and she said I could choose ANY fictional book as long as it wasn't pornographic. So I searched for something wholly inappropriate for school. That's just how I am.

I got an A on the report. 3 girls asked me out and I legit banged my 10th grade english teacher shorty after (i've mentioned this in the teacher banging students thread).

I love Hunter S. Thompson. He earned a special place in my heart after that experience. Even if he was wrong about Leaf (as were about 50% of pundits)

Plenty of people suggested Leaf over Manning. Hindsight is 20/20. In fact, Manning went 1 and 15 his first year, and the book was still out on him. In basketball, Greg Oden was drafted over Kevin Durrant....most everyone agreed Oden had to go number one. Everyone would have picked Jamarcus Russell, as well.

My point is that nobody knows anything about anything. I mean, nobody knows a single thing that is actionable. Only in hindsight do people have the answers.
