Ryan Leaf’s first tweet in three years was about Deflategate
How polarizing of an issue is Deflategate? Let’s just say a former NFL quarterback — one who recently was released from prison after serving two years — felt so strongly about it that he decided to send his first tweet in nearly three years.
On Monday, Leaf criticized the NFL for reportedly obtaining a video of a Patriots locker room attendant doing something suspicious with footballs but not being able to get its hands on the infamous Ray Rice elevator video.
It's troubling that the NFL can find the video of a locker room attendant in a week and never see the Rice elevator video ever!

Leaf isn’t the only person who feels that way, and that is likely one of the reasons the NFL has hired a private firm to literally do a forensic investigation into whether the Patriots intentionally deflated footballs. The league is trying to prove it is competent in the wake of the Rice disaster.
Leaf, a former No. 2 overall draft pick, is considering one of the biggest busts in NFL history. He was released from a Montana prison last month after serving more than two years of a five-year sentence for breaking into houses and stealing prescription drugs.
If some of the recent reports we have heard about Deflategate are true, the NFL could end up looking incompetent once again.
