  I'm a 65 year old guy, older than most who probably watch this channel.  But Flemlo produces the best sports and human intrest story's I've seen.  The man is talented.

  I battled drug addiction; I’m proud to say I’m seven years sober.  If you’ve lived in the depths of addiction’s stranglehold, you know Ryan’s struggles.  I look back at the things I did when I was hitting my rock bottom, and they’re unthinkable....I was literally a different person.  Luckily I knew I needed help and sought it, which is where so many addicts fall short.

  Ryan leaf is the only narcissist I actually feel bad for. Happy for him and how he changed his life. Someone should make a movie of it for sure

  Manning- “I will study hard &amp; continue work hard on my game”<br><br>Leaf- “I’ll be honest with you. I’m going to Las Vegas and go party all night” <br><br>…..and that’s all you need to know.

  Seeing Ryan Leaf turning his life around no matter how many times he’s fallen down, is truly awe inspiring. Flem -Lo, you did a great job in telling his story. Because of you I now look at Ryan Leaf not as a failure nfl draft bust but as someone who has worked hard to turn his life around. Truly inspiring. Great Job!!

  You could have just shit on the guy like everyone else did. Instead, you chose to see the guy as a human being. I wish the major sports networks could have that ability as well. Great vid!

  I hope Ryan gets a chance to see this video. &nbsp;This was great and very respectful to a resilient man.

  “During his time in prison Ryan was forced by his cellmate”<br>Oh no<br>“To teach some other prisoners how to read”<br>Yeah not what I was thinking a lot happier though

  &quot;Peyton manning grew up around pros, Ryan Leaf grew up around average joe&apos;s.&quot; - Flemlo

  Dang man. That ending was powerful. I’ve heard the ryan leaf story a hundred times but I never considered that somebody who is thought of as a textbook failure could literally be a more powerful source of inspiration than actual hall of fame qbs. There’s a lot more to life than the game of football
