Level 3 was formed in late 1997. San Diego choose Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning in early 1998. Though a reasonable argument can be made that this draft day decision was the worst in the history of the NFL, this article in Yahoo Sports suggests the verdict might still be out (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/I-say-it-s-still-too-early-to-call-a-winner-in-M?urn=nfl,78868).
Peyton Manning has had mostly ups and Ryan Leaf has had mostly downs. Level 3, by contrast, has had both very big ups and perhaps equally as big downs. Their quarterly earnings report (http://www.level3.com/newsroom/pressreleases/2008/20080423.html) this week is cause for genuine optimism. Congrats. We will have to wait a few years to find out if Level 3 turns out to be a Manning or a Leaf.
