Ricky Williams is a Giant Tool

"Um, I'm back, because I ran out of weed, and um, I never got to do stuff other than football, so I wanted to, you know, hang out on the beach and get baked for a year, but I'm back now, and um, sorry if anybody got hurt because I'm a selfish dick and flaked out yet again."

I hope his knee blows out the first touch he gets. What a tool.

BTW, any Dolphin fans here? Will the team suck less this year because this a'hole is back?

Ricky Williams retired in large part because he was afraid of being overworked. He touched the ball so much in his final season and the talk in the offseason was giving him MORE touches.

Guys who generally get that many touches don't hold up very well.

not a dolphins fan but ricky will either

a) improve the dolphins offense immediately as well as give ronnie brown time to adjust to the nfl or

b) trade fodder (he still is under contract technically, right?)

Meh, I doubt it. Williams doesn't have much left in the tank, and that was apparent 2 years ago.

BTW, Sports forum.

Not to mention he's waaaaay out of shape now. Camp won't be enough to bring him back.

I can't help but remember Jamal Anderson's holdout all the way through camp with Atlanta. He finally signs, plants his leg one time, 'pop' bye bye, career.

This is not why Ricky Williams retired. Hop into the context of reality here. Running backs don't retire because somebody wants them to handle the ball too often.

He retired because he's Ricky Williams. He's off somewhere else mentally.

Yes, very apparent. 1700 yds of total offense, the tank was near empty.

OMFG, another new forum? Now, this is just 'sports' and not 'sports betting', is that right?

Unless you meant this in a "help their offense by giving Brown a breather during practice" way, I don't think so. You know, since he's benched for the first quarter of the season.
