Re:: Ricky Williams Retired

For one I am sure he loves fame and fortune.

Who knows, but I don't think so.

Number two, he is the most overrated running back ever!

Wrong. He wasn't one the greatest, but I can think of 20 other running backs that were WAY more overrated than he was. Anthony Thomas anyone????

Or Antowain SMith, Eddie George.

Weizy you're wrong the guy isn't interested in the fame. Yes, the whole issue should be the bad timing not his performance on the field, or his character. Just because the guy is very shy and doesn't handle himself like most overpaid premadonna's then he's labeled as selfish. He was a bad ass on the field a top 5 back.. Yes, I do remember that Buffalo game. Antonio Winfield whose is a 180lb DB was lighting him up all night.

is he going to get to keep all his money?

is he going to get to keep all his money?

There talking about they could possibly get up to 8 million back from him. They haven't said whether or not they are going after him. It would include this years salary plus his 5 million signing bonus when he signed with New Orleans.

[Steve Graham]

well, that would suck for him then huh.. he retired because he wants to travel and whatever.. yet he has to give his money back, and has to get a job and cant do shit, lol.. or play football again, but who wold take him? think anyone would trust him?

[Jenks]

someone would pick his nancyboy ass up in a heartbeat.

if Lawrence Phillips got that many repeat chances to play, sissy boy Williams will surely get another chance if he so decides to.

[Steve Graham]

yeah, what ever happened to phillips? is he playing anywhere?

Re:: Ricky Williams Retired

weed isnt legal here. the guvernment is trying to pass legislation to decriminalize it for possion under 30 grams or something. you would just get a fine for it.. like a parking ticket

shitty deal though for miami. awful that he decides to do this at this time and not earlier. i respect the decision.. just bad timing

[Jenks]

it's only a misdemeanor here for less than 32 grams.

it goes on your record, but it's just a fine.

Williams told the newspaper that marijuana played a larger role in his retirement than he indicated when he walked away after just five pro seasons. He said he learned of the failed test and possible suspension days before telling coach Dave Wannstedt last week that he was through playing.


Williams said, however, that there were "a hundred reasons" for his surprising decision to retire, and his desire to continue smoking marijuana was only one of them.


"I didn't quit football because I failed a drug test," he told the Herald. "I failed a drug test because I was ready to quit football."


Williams said he's not addicted to marijuana.


denial

just heard on the news. RW quoted as saying, he failed his 3rd drug test.. and he didnt quit football because he failed a drug test, he failed a drug test because he was ready to quit football. HAHAHA

I also heard the hated Dan Lebetard say that RW had gone on tour with Lennie Kravitz and that he didn't want that kind of life. Puhleeze.
