Few people put as much effort into letting us know they don't care as Curmudgeon!
Obviously, it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things. But in the context of the NFL I think it's a pretty big deal. And this board is primarily about the Redskins and the NFL. That's why "world topics" are off-topic.
But I digress.
I really don't know what to make of RW's situation. Robert Smith said on ESPN Radio today that what Ricky Williams the player did was totally selfish and disrespectful (anyone remember when exactly Smith retired, was it near training camp?) but the player is not as important as the person. And the person had the right to do what he did. It seemed like Williams had been trying to tell people he was contemplating retirement and since no one listened seriously he figured this would be the only way he'd be heard.
Like others have said, as long as it doesn't happen to our Skins...
