Ricky Returns On Monday

Eighteen months after being suspended and more than three years after retiring for a full season, running back Ricky Williams has returned yet again to the Miami Dolphins.
Williams will return to the practice field on Monday, and hopes to play on November 26, against the Steelers.
''My motivation is to get my life going again,'' he said, according to the Miami Herald. "I want to get my life going. And I want to create a better life for myself and for my family. Being a football player for me is a big part of that.'"
Coach Cam Cameron made the decision to allow Williams back onto the team after meeting with him on Thursday.
''I hated being a football player before,'' Williams said. "Someone asked me a question. They said, 'Do you like playing football?' I thought about it and I thought about it and I thought about it. And the next day, I was doing this exercise and I was writing down my ideal paradise moment. And when I really thought about it, it was playing football.
"I realized that I love to play football and I love to be on the field. But I hated being a football player.''

When is he scheduled to be tested again ??? Could be the same answer.

Honestly I hope not. Three years out of the game will leave him on the rusty side but the potential is always there. That and I'm sure he needs to prove the pundits wrong.

Oh yeah, he loves football all right. Rather he loves the money football brings him.

Cool Re: Ricky Returns On Monday

Believe it or not, as little sympathy I have for today's pro athletes, I actually feel bad for this guy. I think he's a good person and is just really messed up. He had social anxiety disorder for the longest time and he supposedly stopped taking his meds when he quit the first time.

It's a shame too, because this guy was a hell of a runner.

I agree he's messed up but no way do I feel sorry for him. I have heard some of his interviews and I didnt care for the way he came off in them (the term moron comes to mind). Besides, he let down his teammates in a really big way. He comes across as selfish to me.
I agree with the hell of a runner part though and it being a shame for whatever reason.

I just think he's a good person who needs to be in therapy and be on meds.
