"Trying to hawk a book or not, it takes a certain fortitude to show up and proudly walk around at a Super Bowl in a city grateful you never called it home.

The only place where Leaf's failure would have been more symbolically in his face is San Diego. But we don't host Super Bowls anymore, so Leaf hopped a plane from Montana and arrived Wednesday night at the Super Bowl that Peyton Manning built.

Leaf was in bed shortly after arriving. A decade too late for the Chargers, he doesn't do late nights anymore.

Leaf showed up on Radio Row on Thursday, hat in hand. And plenty of books in hand, too."
