Ricky Williams Suspended

dmek25 · 05-11-2007, 06:40 PM

the sad part is there would definitely be another team willing to give him another chance. what a chuckle head

Espn or comcast did a special on him a few weeks ago and he seemed the most at peace then than I have ever seen him. He has settled away in a very quiet area teaching yoga, enjoying life with his kid, and he said it'd be nice if he got reinstated but in the end he's happy with his life either way. In a way it's sad because he was extremely talented, but it's also cool to see someone who's had a lot of anxiety issues finally be at peace with their life and not live their life to how everyone else thinks he should be living.

Ricky doesn't need to be playing football anymore. He's had his time in the league, and I really don't think this is what he wants.

He wants to be financially secure, and then chill the hell out. I'm not sure how secure he is financially, but I imagine he's not in terrible shape.

That's why they call it DOPE......fools like this. HE'S DONE! Smoke on tardo

I have NFL Network and they did a thing on him like a month back and I FRIGGIN BELIEVED THE GUY!!! He seemed calmer and more comfortable and WAY more socially ready. Oh, and they said it was weed. Something I read earlier said they werent releasing what it was but, they said it.

Besides, we all knew this was coming anyway. Vick was just holding Ricky's bottle for him...

Ricky Williams and Pacman Jones need to start a hip hop group.

I have a question: Does this make him a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf? Ryan has had a lock on that title for a while now.

No way, Ryan Leaf will never live that down. Hes the biggest bust of all time. At least Ricky had 6 productive nfl seasons. I think Leaf played 2 years for the Chargers and then split the last one with the Cowboys and Bucs.

Yea I saw that clip this is the biggest moron of the year!

My ex girlfriend is from Grass Valley Ca. where Ricky currently resides. She smoked weed almost everyday before she moved here and according to her it's basically a way of life there. So I'm not surprised this happened at all.

I wonder how many of you guys who call Ricky Williams an idiot,moron,or whatever feel the same way about Barry Sanders and Jim Brown?Who basically made the same decision.That life without football is better than life with football.All three of these guys left a boatload of money on the table so they could live the way that they wanted to.Me, I respect all of these guys decisions.They chose to live life by there rules ,and if you ask me deserve respect not ridicule.

For selfish reasons I wish Barry Sanders hadn't left early. He was awesome to watch and I would have loved to have seen him break the record.

However, unless I'm mistaken, Barry Sanders and Jim Brown came out and said "you know what, I had my fun but I'm done." Just like Robert Smith did. None of them said I'm anxious to play again, can't wait to get out there and then get busted for doing something illegal (again).

If Ricky doesn't want to play in the NFL anymore, if he wants to smoke weed all day and play in the CFL or do yoga in Santa Fe, whatever it is just say it. Stop with the games.

And if he needs help, get it.

Unless im mistaken ,Barry Sanders and Jim Brown didnt have to come up with 8 million.Ricky's hand is clearly forced.He had to say those thing to get out.

Jackass of the year award for Smoking weed? You have gotta be kidding me. Chris Henry has been arrested like 10 times, Pacman Jones is always in legal trouble, Tank Johnson is actually in prison right now. This is getting rediculous, if the guy wants to smoke then leave him the hell alone, hes not hurting anyone, unlike the players i mentioned before.
