Re: Ricky Williams
I know, it's pretty F-ed up. I heard he retired so he could "see the world". I also heard he was now in Asia and has no plans to return to the US for another 6 months. From all reports it sounds like the guy is going through a Manic phase.

Re: Ricky Williams
I agree with Homer and Daryn. If some guy sells his company for millions at 28 and retires to travel the world, everyone is amazed and thinks that is so cool. Why is it different for a football player?
If he was sick of playing, good for him. Hope he invest wisely and is set for the rest of his life.

He starts off his pro career by letting Master P negotiate his contract, which could be argued as one of the worst rookie contracts ever. He then decides to do all of his post goame interviews while still wearing a helmet. He then is diagnosed with a social anxiety disorder, gets on his meds, drops master p, drops some pounds and becomes arguably one of the best RB's in the NFL. I heard that he then stops taking his meds, tested positve for Mary Jane (for the second time), and goes on tour with Lenny Kravitz where he decides he doesn't want the same life as Lenny. WTF! I guess he was going to be fined 4 game checks because of the pot incident which wasn't going to be much money since he's still working under his "Master P" contract. Also, if I remeber correctly I beleive the NFL has a 3 strike policy for drug use so he's next positive test would cost him a year. With all that said, I have no problem with what he's decided to do , because it in no way affects my life. But to quit on your team 6 days before you go to camp, I can see why some of his teammates are pissed.
