It is often said that one of the attributes of a great quarterback is to have a short memory. If that is the case, it appears that Ryan Leaf may finally be evolving toward his potential. For the second time in a four day period, Leaf has been arrested for burglary and drug possession.
It’s nothing new. Ryan Leaf has lived a life of allegations. The most famous allegation leveled against the Washington State product is that he possessed more measurable attributes to play the quarterback position in the NFL than Peyton Manning. Thus far, it is the one allegation that has proven to be false.
For the uninitiated, Ryan Leaf is Peyton Manning’s mutant twin. He is the Danny DeVito to Manning’s Arnold Schwarzenegger. His story is tied entirely to the NFL Draft, the annual pro football meat market which, historically, has used a flawed system...

Tom Waits: Bad As Me (Anti)
This starts out as Waits getting by on gestures and timbres. That's actually pretty good, since Waits is the master of such sonic legerdemain (he uses a wide variety of voices; "Talking at the Same Time" is especially striking) and the energy exuded is infectious (the weird rockabilly hybrid "Get Lost" is hilarious). One could listen to this album solely to get off on the way the guitars sound (longtime collaborator Marc Ribot and Keith Richards both shine). Halfway through, the title track offers a solid song with amusing lyrics, and it's followed by the brilliant torch song "Kiss Me." Another quiet ballad, "Last Leaf," is even better (because the lyric uses a more original image). With this being the first Waits studio album of new material in seven years, I was hoping for more in the way of songwriting, but this'll do.
