Ricky drawing rave reviews

06:38 AM ET 07.18 | Ricky Williams looked every bit the best player on the field the last time the Dolphins were together for one of their offseason practices. He ran with authority, he showed quickness, and he never let himself shift out of top gear, even in drills that didn't mean much. Williams, with cartoon superhero muscles bulging out of his jersey sleeves, caught the eyes of anyone paying attention. No wonder he was the only player Dolphins football czar Bill Parcells congratulated with a fist bump as he was coming to the sideline after one workout.

YEA, it won't be long PARCELLS will be doing something else with his LITTLE FIST. This GUY has failed other teams, he will do the same to the SARDINES. Jerry

So this black brother gets blamed for failing when all the teams he played for - he made better and why? Because he stated he like to smoke weed? C'mon on man....those NFL freaks are like stoners and many get high and don't be speaking openly. Saints, they sucked....Dolphins, they sucked - too. They both pretty much still do.......

And he has a new connection for the "Chronic"! You go Ricky....

I swear, some of you people are just SO DAMN NEGATIVE for no reason... Like you are miserable in your own lives so you have to come on here and spew hate for no good reason...

Ricky never did anything to any of you... All he did was smoke a little weed (like none of you have) and was man enough to stand up and say he didn't want to play football anymore... It's a freakin game... He has every right to quit if he wants to... Owners cut players all the time that they claim they are committed to, so why is it such a cardinal sin for a player to quit on the owner??

This is where i tell you to get a life!!!

Run Ricky, Run. Run like a choo-choo-train smoking tree trunks!

rickey is just one round of puff puff from not having a career

July 18, 2008  08:21 AM ET

I love weed and think it should be legalized. But it is illegal and Ricky knows it and yet he not only continued to smoke even though he knew he'd be tested for it, he basically flaunted it. Fortunately I have a job where I don't get drug tested...Ricky doesn't have that luxury.

Still a capable NFL RB

Best player on a 1-15 team.

I agree Ricky can live his life how he wants, but he's not a 1500 yard back on a team with Ronnie Brown.

July 18, 2008  08:42 AM ET

Everyone seems to forget how good the guy was before he Pizzed it all away. Im not going to hate on him, he hasn't ruined any team. He is a loser in his personal life, but he has something to prove now, and who knows, maybe he found some love for the game again... Why dont we wait and see.

"I agree Ricky can live his life how he wants, but he's not a 1500 yard back on a team with Ronnie Brown."

That depends on when Brown gets hurt, doesn't it? That's right, I said when, not if.

it really seemed like ricky's problems werent with dope but wth the spotlight. he was prolly using the dope to self medicate, ive heard he has a lot of confidence issues and depresstion issues.

"Ricky drawing rave reviews"

He should probably stay away from any Raves. There tends to be drugs readily available at those things.

(oh, that's not what they mean?)

When giving out man love, it is a good thing to give fist bump. It show who real man is and who is like camel. Hand of real man should be greased first, though, and washed later.
