    Ricky Williams Retires. Again
    such a strange career. tremendous talent but wasted his youth. You could even argue that he was one of the top draft busts, that we never talk about in those terms. (for the saints)

    How much weed do you think he smokes today?

    Not exactly a waste of talent in his eyes. He just wasn't up for all the shit.

        a waste in the sense that he had the physical but not the mental
        a waste in the sense that New Orleans gave up like 9 draft picks for him
        a waste in that he got paid nothing near what he was worth due to using a Rapper as an agent
        a waste in that he only had one year worthy of his talent (the first year in Miami)


        juxtaposed with the fact that he ended up with a nice career after his drug problems, and yoga hiatus. Hell not too many players can say they ran for over 10k yards.

        strange career

            Some people call his career a waste because HE didn't end up the way THEY think he should've.

            Maybe Ricky thinks you're a waste.

                Ricky will be fine
                Smart guy
                Good family man
                He got screwed this year, he was sharp as ever but did not get ball

                4th qtr ravens driving Ricky gets ball and gains 5 yards and comes out of game

                  Ricky wasn't always a good family man.

                    Don't forget a waste in that he had to settle for playing in the CFL for a bit before an NFL signed him again

                      He will get his Pention, which is upwards of 100k yearly. Although he will spend 50% of it on high Grade Weed.

                          I thought he came to the CFL and stay in shape while he was suspended.

                            That's right, he was suspended, I don't know if it was for the entire time he was in the CFL. My bad

                              It wouldn't have gotten the buzz like it did this morning.
