ESPN is taking votes on the biggest bust of the past 25 years (and I don't mean Morganna!).

Vote here (http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/listranker?id=128)

Although it is tough to put Heath #1 on a list that also includes Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich and Brian Bosworth.

Now if The Visor was an option...

I put The National at #25. I don't consider it to have been a flop. It was a great paper. But they were trying to compete in an industry that was (and still is) shrinking and they faced some pretty long odds. While they were out there, it was a quality product (which can't be said about the XFL).

I put the Bills at #24. Sure they might have lost 4 straight Super Bowls, but the only way to do that is to play in 4 straight Super Bowls. That in itself is far from a flop.

Sorry, but I had to vote for Ryan Leaf. As bas Shuler was for the Redskins, Leaf was 3 times worse.

His teammates didn't like him.
His coaches didn't like him.
And he was terrible with the media.

And to think that there were "professionals" who thought he was better than Manning.

And there were professionals who thought that Sam Bowie was a better pick than Michael Jordan. I just love it when the "experts" are so wrong.

I won't put Ryan Leaf first only because he can still physically play the game, meaning he has a chance, though slim, to salvage a wasted career. Shuler is done, so he's #1

Leaf is #1... 2 TDs and 16 interceptions his rookie season and he was the QB that was supposed to turn the franchise around.... yeah right
