Ricky Williams is a bit eccentric, but a one year suspension for pot? That's like sentencing a man to life in prison for having too many parking tickets.

Because if it has ... then let HIS employeer (IE whatever team he plays for) fire him, not some higher-than-thou moral-enforcers dressed in business suits who haven't played a lick of football in their fucking lives.

I really doubt he did herb, I think it's some weird holistic crap, I bet he'll win his appeal. Gay policy, though, it clearly has no affect on his game, in fact it probably clears up his social anxiety.

CFL team eyes Ricky Williams
Ricky Williams has to sit out the 2006 NFL season for failing a fourth drug test, but a Canadian Football League franchise is making a pitch for the suspended tailback.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seahawks/2002958110_nfl28.html
The Toronto Argonauts placed Williams on their 35-player negotiations list, which means they own exclusive CFL rights to contact him. Greg Mohns, the Argonauts' assistant general manager, spoke Thursday to Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to Ricky about it, but any consideration given to that opportunity would be done in consultation with the Dolphins because [coach] Nick Saban's perspective and their permission is imperative," Steinberg said.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello and Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene both said Williams is under contract with the Dolphins through 2008. Greene refused to "speculate about any hypothetical situations."
Every NFL players' contract contains an out in which a player could play for another team if he receives written consent from his club.

Actually, if you look (scroll up), I had participated in the thread before ... therefore it can be concluded that
a) his AV wasn't the one he is currently using today (or else I would've noted it before; and
b) you're taking a weak (albeit +1) shot at me in a non-bareknux subforum for no apparent reason (other than you're a part of the I [HEART] Delta fanboy club).

Ricky and the Argonauts: Williams joins CFL team

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/dolphins/2006-05-28-williams-cfl_x.htm
Suspended Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams participated in his first practice Monday with the Toronto Argonauts.
The NFL suspended Williams, 29, after his fourth violation of the league's substance abuse policy. But Sunday, the Dolphins gave him permission to play the 2006 season in the CFL.
"I don't think there are very many benefits to the Dolphins, and that speaks volumes to the type of guy Nick Saban is," Williams said in a news conference Sunday. "A lot of times in professional sports, and any kind of big business, employers are accused of looking at their employees as things and not being people. I've had conversations with Nick and expressed to him how important this opportunity was for me. Respecting me as a human being, honoring our relationship, he voiced his opinion that he doesn't necessarily condone what I'm doing, but he's not going to get in the way of this happening."
The Argonauts signed Williams to a one-year, $240,000 deal Sunday, making him the highest-paid running back in the CFL.. He made $585,000 last year when he rushed for 743 yards and six touchdowns.

Theismann says Ricky Williams is ?a disgrace to the game?

?I don?t ever want to be mentioned in the same breath as Ricky Williams as a football player. He?s a disgrace to the game. The man doesn?t deserve to play football. He should go on with his life and treat his drug addictions or go do whatever he wants to do. He?s been suspended from the National Football League on multiple occasions. Doesn?t anybody have any class anywhere? For gosh sakes, let the kid go do what he wants to do. He doesn?t want to play football,? Theismann said.

fuck ricky. whether or not you condone smoking pot isn't the real issue here, the issue here is that ricky continually let his team down. if ricky wants to toke it up every single day of his life after he retires, more power to him. but he knew that smoking while under contract was against the rules and he didn't have the self-control to stop, even after being caught twice. so i say once again, fuck ricky williams. i personally hope he sustains a career ending injury in his first game.

dont other players get caught with hookers and coke? wats the big deal about alittle pot?
two wrongs don't make a right. and while weed isn't nearly as bad as coke, the reason why ricky williams is a special type of fuckwad is because he failed 4 drug test. not to mention the whole expedition to india. the guy makes t.o. look like a model teammate.

Ricky Williams Has Lackluster CFL Debut
? 2006 The Associated Press
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/football/3924165.html
TORONTO ? Ricky Williams looked less like an NFL rushing champion and every bit like a running back less than a week into training camp with a new team.
The former Miami Dolphins star was held to just 7 yards on four carries in his first CFL game Friday night as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Toronto Argonauts 31-3 in the exhibition opener for both clubs.
"The biggest thing was to see the game, to see the speed of the game and get a feel of what's going to be expected of me," Williams said. "It's hard to do it in a meeting room or the practice field but when you come out here at game speed you have a better idea.
"I did a decent job on pass protection. Obviously I didn't have that many yards running the ball but I felt pretty good about my performance. It felt good, it felt natural. I wasn't nervous, I felt comfortable with the offense."
The game capped a whirlwind week for Williams, who signed a one-year deal with Toronto on Sunday.
Williams had been suspended for the 2005 season by the NFL following a fourth violation of the league's substance abuse program.
Williams, a four-time 1,000-yard rusher in the NFL, had just four practices to get acclimated with Canadian football, yet, judging by the hundreds of Miami jerseys featuring Williams' No. 34 present at Rogers Centre, it was clear who many had come to see.
But they had to wait, as veteran John Avery started at tailback. A loud ovation erupted midway through the first when Williams, who is wearing No. 27 with Toronto, was shown on the Jumbotron patiently waiting his turn.
Williams quietly slipped into the game with 5 seconds left in the first and the Argos at their 35-yard line trailing 14-0. Predictably, Williams got the ball on his first play from scrimmage, resulting in a 2-yard gain, but it wasn't until the PA announcer called Williams as the ball carrier that the Heisman Trophy winner received a rousing ovation.
"It's hard to tell with just one quarter of play but they came ready to play," Williams said when asked about the level of competition in the CFL. "It's a team sport and one player isn't going to make much of a difference unless he's able to help everyone else raise their level of play and match the opponents' intensity."
But Williams liked being able to go into motion before the snap, something he has never been able to do in the NFL.
"It's fun because you get a head start on the defense and they don't know where you're going," he said. "It's just learning the game so you can take advantage of it more and I'm sure that will come."
Argos head coach Mike (Pinball) Clemons wasn't surprised with Williams' rushing numbers in his first CFL game.
"It's about what I expected," said Clemons, a former Argos running back. "With a running back like him it's not his first three, four or five touches in a game that are going to make the difference, it's the 10 in the fourth quarter when they wear you down that's going to be the difference for him.
"I think it's good he struggled ... because it's going to let him know to be successful in this league he's going to have to work maybe the hardest he has ever worked to this point in his career."
Fans got a rise out of a vignette in the second that made fun of former Toronto quarterback Joe Theismann's condemnation of the club's signing Williams.
On Tuesday, Theismann called the move a "feeble excuse" by Toronto to sell tickets, lashed out at Williams and said he was ashamed to have worn the club's old A emblem on his helmet.
During a stoppage in play Friday, a video ran on the Jumbotron showing Theismann wearing a helmet with the A emblem. Suddenly, a giant pencil appeared and rubbed out the A, after which the worlds "Happy Now Joe" appeared, again drawing solid applause.
Ticats coach Greg Marshall downplayed suggestions Williams' presence provided extra motivation for his defense.
"Anytime we play the Argos we don't need any extra motivation," he said. "Personally, I didn't even know when Ricky was in the football game.
"I don't know if our defense was even aware."
