Ricky Williams says he failed 3rd drug test But running back says 'I didn’t quit football because I failed a drug test' Ricky Williams could owe the Miami Dolphins as much as $8 million because of his early retirement. The Associated Press Updated: 12:42 p.m. ET July 29, 2004MIAMI - Retired Dolphins running back Ricky Williams said he failed a third drug test for marijuana use, which would cost him a four-game suspension if he decides to return to the NFL, The Miami Herald reported on its Web site Thursday.....

i dunno. the loss of $650k in salary doesn't seem like enough to persuade someone to quit the nfl by itself. i think maybe he was leaning towards retiring, but the impending suspension was the last bud in the doobie, so to speak.

Rockin' the tables, rockin' the mikes, rockin' the young lay-dees.
Ricky said you have to be an idiot to be caught for smoking pot. And he got caught three times. He's probably too high to call himself an idiot right now.

He probably don't remember making the statement....
at 1st I figured him retiring was just Ricky being Ricky but to do it to avoid the fine and the 4 games he would have to sit out is just sad

My favortie line from the Simpsons:
Flanders: "Looks like someone is having a pre-rapture party!"
Homer: "No Flanders, it's a meeting of gay witches for abortion , you wouldn't be interested!"
He's had problems since day one--whether disturbing the neighbors with noise (which, in the kinds of communities he lives in I'm sure is tough to do); or like the reports from his roomates on road trips who said that he'd leave food just lying on the hotel room floors.
The guy, though a good player, has never realized what's going on. Too bad that he's quiting, though, it was pretty fun to watch him play (except for that Monday night game against us this past season )

He must have picked up that bad habit from playing The Sims. That's how I started talking to people who show up at my door uninvited for hours until they're my best friend.
I got your number. I steal your thunder. I got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm.

Not that I condone drug use, but....
do you know HOW MUCH dope $650K can buy?????
I'm sure Ricky does. His "fancy" for "the pot" was more important than training camp and his team.
I think it is important to note, however, that the guy has been self-medicating himself with weed instead of paxil. That may be a big reason for his disturbing behavior.
