HELENA, Mont. -- The West Texas district attorney who prosecuted former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf in 2009 said Saturday that he'll file a motion to revoke Leaf's probation following his arrest in Montana.

Leaf was arrested Friday in his hometown of Great Falls on burglary and drug possession charges, police said.

James Farren, the Randall County district attorney who prosecuted Leaf in Texas and negotiated a plea deal with him in 2010, said he would file the motion Monday to revoke the 10-year probation Leaf got in the agreement.

Kinda surreal to look back now and remember that there was a big debate on whether Leaf or Peyton Manning would be the better NFL player.

Apparently they think he broke into houses on Sunday, right after getting out of jail.

"Montana police say they are seeking a warrant for the GPS in Ryan Leaf's pickup truck to get information that will link the ex-quarterback to two break-ins and possibly lead them to a stash of stolen prescription painkillers.

The former NFL quarterback is accused of breaking into homes on Thursday and Sunday and stealing prescription medication. He was due to appear in court Monday afternoon.

Central Montana Drug Task Force commander Chris Hickman says Leaf broke into a home outside Great Falls on Sunday, just two days after he posted $76,000 bail for his first arrest.

Hickman says the owners returned home Sunday afternoon and found Leaf inside. Leaf told them he had the wrong house, and the owners later discovered three bottles of prescription pills were missing."

They should build a special Longest Yard prison for all these ex-jocks, so we can buy their games on pay per view.

Maybe do a reality show from inside the joint.

He's had a very open and public addiction to pain killers... and from the sound of things was actually handling it well for the last couple years... i wonder what changed recently to cause him to slip back into it

My guess? He's just a ****-up machine that has the "repeat" button jammed in.
