Ricky Williams is the ing
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2336760
Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams has violated the NFL's substance abuse policy for a fourth time and is facing a one-year suspension for the positive drug test, Denver television station KDVR reported on Sunday.
The Miami Herald, citing two sources of its own, confirmed the station's report that Williams had failed the test, but neither media outlet would say which substance Williams used.
An NFL spokesman told ESPN that the NFL had no comment on the report.
Williams has tested positive for marijuana three times and served a four-game suspension when he returned to the NFL last season following a one-year retirement.
Dolphins coach Nick Saban told ESPN he was not aware that Williams had tested positive and he was not allowed to comment, citing the confidential nature of the league's substance-abuse policy.
Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene declined to comment when reached by the Herald on Sunday night.
"Because of the confidential nature of the league's substance abuse policy, we can't comment on any aspect of that program," Greene told the newspaper.
Williams was also fined the equivalent of four weeks' salary after his second and third violations of the NFL policy, in December 2003 and the 2004 offseason.
Williams abruptly retired from the NFL in July 2004 and the Dolphins fell apart, losing their first six games and finishing 4-12 -- their worst season since the 1960s.
At the time of his return, Williams was ordered to pay the Dolphins $8.6 million for breaching his contract, although there has been no financial resolution between him and the team. He was scheduled to be paid the league minimum of $540,000 last season, but was docked four games' pay due to his league-mandated suspension and was fined another four games in pay, reducing his take to $285,882.
Williams' base salaries for the two coming seasons are $545,000 and $670,000, the minimum for a player (he entered the league in 1999) of his NFL tenure.
Motivated partly by the need for a paycheck, he accepted Saban's offer to return for the 2005 season. When he reported at the start of training camp, Williams publicly apologized for the impact caused by his retirement and teammates unanimously embraced his return.
The Dolphins finished the 2005 season 9-7, winning their last six games. Williams gained 743 yards and scored six touchdowns.
Williams won the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award, the Walter Camp Award and the Doak Walker Award following his senior season at Texas, in 1998. The New Orleans Saints traded away all their picks in the 1999 NFL draft in order to get him.
In six seasons with New Orleans and Miami, Williams has 7,097 yards on 1,757 carries -- four yards per carry -- and 47 rushing touchdowns. His best season was in 2002 with Miami, when he gained 1,853 yards in 383 carries and ran for 16 TDs.
Ricky Williams is the ing
*shakes head*
What a dumbass.
This guy doesn't get it.. unbelieveable
He had to know he was going to get caught, is this just a way to get another year off without losing pay or what?
He's beyond stupid.
Who actually thought he quit? Come on now.
giggles
Who gives a ? He doesn't like to play in the NFL...its just not a big priority to him. And can you blame him?
What does he owe to anyone? He was the greatest college running back of all time, became a millionare, had to carry ty teams his entire career, and is not allowed to chill back on offdays and smoke an L or a cone?
that ...if marijuana was not on that drug list he'd still be playing ball. It's not like he's a meth addict.
I bet 50G's in vbookie he didnt lose 1 seconds worth of sleep when he took and failed that test.
He's saved a hundred ass beatings and gets to smoke more weed (and you know he isn't blowing bull , he's blowin endo)...when they get serious and want to win some games, they'll be running right back to him, and he knows it.

...and then you wake up and realize, hey, he isn't the greatest running back in college football history.
What does he owe? Um, keeping his word maybe? Or does that mean too?
Sounds like you been partying with the Rickster?
Without even trying hard:
Herschel Walker
O.J. Simpson
Barry Sanders
Marcus Allen
Archie Griffin
Earl Campbell (i.e., he isn't even the greatest UT running back of all time)
Or maybe he 'gets it' more than the rest of us. If he's not into football very much and would rather spend his time smoking cheeba and doing yoga, who are we to say he doesn't 'get it' if that's what he's content doing?This guy doesn't get it.. unbelieveable
In my world, the stupid people are the ones who are afraid of doing what it takes to make themselves happy. I don't know for sure that Ricky is going to end up in a world of bliss now that he's failed a drug test, but I think we at least have to consider that he might be doing exactly what he wants to do.He's beyond stupid.
I'm so ing sick of football on national sports shows.
IT'S OVER.
BASKETBALL TIME NOW.
yeah but he already ran out of money once, if you are going to spend your time smoking at least invest well.
Heard a good one from a jungle caller:
Trade Ricky to SF so he can get a prescription...
i'd say naw i got shows to doLast edited by Cant_Be_Faded : Today at 03:32 AM. Reason: they might see me on jay leno they be like flip can you listen to my demo
and after the concert i got hos to screw
If they want to keep him from playing just cuz he likes to party then he doesn't owe them ...
If he quit for no reason at all (like he did when he took his 1 year vacation) then it is bull but this isn't the case
Ricky Williams was the greatest college football running back of all time...
Do you really think those old bas s faced the same quick defenses that Ricky faced? Please. You might as well pick the 1927 all-star Aggies and say they had a chance against the tiest 90's UT team ever. Please.
Well, this makes my FF keeper list a LOT easier. I had both RW and Ronnie Brown, and running back by committee is a killer for your team, because you never know who to start. Keeper 3 league, and I'll now be keeping Ronnie Brown, Cadillac, and Carson Palmer.
If Ricky Williams had attended and played for USC, people would talk about him more than Reggie "quick laterals" Bush
didnt so much run out as get forced to give it back
and i agree with cbf, if he does what he wants and is content then let him be. imagine your job coming to you on the weekend or your vaca and asking for a drug test. its the offseason, hes not hurting anyone. leave him be.
You're a dumbass. What does any of that have to do with him being an idiot pothead in the pros?If they want to keep him from playing just cuz he likes to party then he doesn't owe them ...

They're not trying to keep him from playing. That's moronic. Quit sniffing his jock so hard. He could have 8 million in his pocket if he could just lay off the bong.
Damn, it's illegal for Joe Public to smoke, but we should make an exception for potheads who play sports?
He had the whole world in his hands and he blew it to get high. Dumbass.
