Ricky Williams Suspended

My ex girlfriend is from Grass Valley Ca. where Ricky currently resides. She smoked weed almost everyday before she moved here and according to her it's basically a way of life there. So I'm not surprised this happened at all.

Well, with a name like Grass Valley...

I wonder how many of you guys who call Ricky Williams an idiot,moron,or whatever feel the same way about Barry Sanders and Jim Brown?Who basically made the same decision.That life without football is better than life with football.All three of these guys left a boatload of money on the table so they could live the way that they wanted to.Me, I respect all of these guys decisions.They chose to live life by there rules ,and if you ask me deserve respect not ridicule.

For selfish reasons I wish Barry Sanders hadn't left early. He was awesome to watch and I would have loved to have seen him break the record.

However, unless I'm mistaken, Barry Sanders and Jim Brown came out and said "you know what, I had my fun but I'm done." Just like Robert Smith did. None of them said I'm anxious to play again, can't wait to get out there and then get busted for doing something illegal (again).

If Ricky doesn't want to play in the NFL anymore, if he wants to smoke weed all day and play in the CFL or do yoga in Santa Fe, whatever it is just say it. Stop with the games.

And if he needs help, get it.

Unless im mistaken ,Barry Sanders and Jim Brown didnt have to come up with 8 million.Ricky's hand is clearly forced.He had to say those thing to get out.

This guy is just an idiot. Its a shame because he could have been one of the best ever to play if he had a brain under that rat infested hair of his. I think he might very well get the jackass of the century award.

Jackass of the year award for Smoking weed? You have gotta be kidding me. Chris Henry has been arrested like 10 times, Pacman Jones is always in legal trouble, Tank Johnson is actually in prison right now. This is getting rediculous, if the guy wants to smoke then leave him the hell alone, hes not hurting anyone, unlike the players i mentioned before.

I have a question: Does this make him a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf? Ryan has had a lock on that title for a while now.

Ryan leaf never won the rushing title (I guess most passing yards or TD's would be the comparable stat). Ricky was pretty good in New Orleans and great one year with the Dolphins.

Leaf never had any measurable success and is the biggest bust of all time if you go by the Classic Sports list.

I agree. Pacman just got a speeding ticket for 24 over and went to a strip club the night before meeting with the commissioner.

Pacman may be the most unintelligent athlete in the history of pro-sports. What a complete waste.

Pacman has really learned......the boy is a lost cause and will NEVER GET IT! TRASHBAG

I realize that some here are more liberal in thinking than I am when it comes to drugs like pot, but is it the drug that is allowing Ricky to be "mellow" and to be content without the NFL, or is it Ricky himself being more "at peace" with smokin' the herb and not being a role model (like it or not, that is what NFL players are.)

What if pot is preventing him from reaching his fullest potential? I'm not talking just in terms of the NFL, but what if his life was meant for something so much more than some guy who teaches yoga and smokes the wacky weed? Isn't that a crime in itself? The worst thing I believe one would have to face is to say at the end of his/her life is "I believe my life was meant for so much more and look what I made of it." That's just me though.

man ricky williams annoys the hell out of me
