The Curious Case of Ryan Mallett's Florida Farewell Tour (Don't Worry, It Wasn't a Kid Rock Concert)
Ryan Mallett, the former NFL quarterback with a cannon for an arm and a penchant for, well, let's just say "interesting" decisions, made his final Florida exit in a way that nobody expected. No, it wasn't a dramatic helicopter escape or a late-night joyride on a jet ski (although, knowing Ryan, those were probably on the brainstorming board at some point).

The Drowning Debacle: Not Your Typical Beach Mishap
On a seemingly ordinary Tuesday afternoon, Ryan decided to take a dip in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, Ryan was a big guy, but apparently, the ocean wasn't as impressed with his size as some NFL defensive lines were. Reports say he was trying to reach a second sandbar, but the ocean had other plans. Lifeguards did their best, but sadly, Ryan didn't make it back to shore.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
The Plot Thickens (or Maybe Not)
There were initial whispers of dangerous rip currents, but the authorities quickly shut those rumors down faster than Ryan could ever scramble out of a sack. Apparently, the ocean just decided it wanted to play a little keep-away with Ryan that day.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
