Throughout the past five months, several Dolphins employees have observed a unique relationship building between Ricky Williams and Bill Parcells, the Dolphins' vice president of football operations. The new boss likes Williams' diligent work ethic, taking note of his desire to build his body back into elite form during the offseason. According to one team employee, Parcells also has reminded Williams, who turns 31 next week, that he isn't too old to make an impact in this league, pointing to former Giants and University of Miami running back Ottis Anderson as motivation. In 1989, under Parcells, Anderson was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year and the MVP of Super Bowl XXV. At the time, Anderson was 32.

Ricky !

Ricky has always been talented and no doubt has the legs for 3-4 seasons. The issue is he loves drugs and feels little concern with using them. He is an issue waiting to happen. He might end up as one of the most talented RB's that will be a "what could have been"?!

Plug it
Unplug it
Don't strain
I love you Mary Jane
She never complains
When I hit Mary
With that flame
I light up the cherry
She's so good to me

As long as Bill keeps drug testing away Ricky will feel like he can do anything at his age.. until he gets hit and is hurt. Pot affects not only the brain but muscles. What a sad story of a great athlete that clearly does not care of his life and team.

I don't understand this "love affair" that some of the top coaches seem to have for Ricky Williams. First it was Ditka trading away his whole draft to get Ricky. Now it's Parcells.

There are servicable RBs on the street with much fewer problems than Ricky. Ryan Grant and Willie Parker were both undrafted. Who would you rather have...a young guy with speed who's clean or an over-30 guy with issues?

I don't think he is planning on using Ricky as his #1 guy Trainwreck.

i just read a story saying that ricky was invited on cedrics bensons boat ride, and he said if he was their that all that stuff wouldnt have happened because he has a calming effect on people.

Bill like's his work ethic...do a hit, run a lap and come back for another
brother......He's not the same runner he was a few years back...

Bill, Ricky meant something else when he said he could help you score some

May 16, 2008  08:54 AM ET

You don't condem a man because he smoked pot. If he gets caught again you don't have to pay him simple as that. Ricky Williams is 31 not a kid anymore I'm sure Bill relates to him on alot of levels other than just football and potsmoking and "Work ethics" means alot more than what he does to get ready for football, it carries over to life as well. Anybody knows Parcells knows that too.
