It also said people often fail during rehab-sometimes it takes several tries.
If all that is true then I cut him some slack but maybe his focus should switch from football to his own situation.
"but maybe his focus should switch from football to his own situation."
See, that's exactly what he did when he left Miami. He said he had only been playing football to make others happy, and it was an unhealthy situation for him. So he moved into a tent, and the Miami media and fans acted like he ate a baby with a knife and fork. Then, the Dolphins went after 8 million dollars they had paid him -- for breach of contract, a legitimate beef but one that they didn't have to take to the level they did -- and he had to come back to football to pay his bills.
The guy's sick. He's had serious issues for years. He likes to smoke pot, it helps him. People should get off his case.
(I feel like the guy's lawyer right now. I've said my piece.)
Go back to your reefer and continue smoking away....your a joke,patheticYou're a f*cking d*ckhead. How's that?
I knew there was something fishy when the Dolphins selected ...
Off course he isn't addicted. He doesn't have a compulsion to use. He just said, "Let's see, if I smoke this I will be caught because I'm being tested thre times a week. I will lose my chance at reinstatement in the NFL. I will not make a million dollars. Let's see. Marijuana or no career and money. I'll smoke it, but I'm not addicted. I could not do it if I didn't want to. I just want to."
You can call it an addiction, or a tendency, or a flummery. Call it what ever you want. He has no control over it. He cannot say no.
But he's not addicted.
Pfui.
Well,when an NFL player moves into a tent I can see where that would be news-call me crazy I know,but he had to know it might attract attention.
Bad time for Ricky to get another failed drug test. Goodell is looking to lay down the law and he may use Ricky as an example. Williams may have played his last down as an NFL player.
Why? What's wrong with spending a summer living in a tent? I've done it before. It was a good time.
I think you could merge this thread with the Ted Johnson one. Ricky has a mental illness and he's self medicating with pot. Although kicking him out of the league may temporarily solve their public relations issues, the NFL should try to help their players not abandon them.
Yes, when it comes to Ricky Williams, I do. I think it's horrible the way the media has treated the guy, that 60 minutes piece where they call him a "freak" was outrageous to me. His post reminded me of that.
Ricky Williams has severe social anxiety disorder. I know people who struggle with it, and they are deeply unhappy and troubled people. He found that smoking marijuana helped make his life easier, and he's been crucified for it.
Worse than RANDY MOSS AND MICHAEL VICK!?!?
When did Ricky Williams flip off his fans, raise fighting dogs, or say "i play when i want to play?" You have to understand this about the kid, he's got mental issues. When he took off from the Dolphins, it was selfish but he felt like he needed to get out of the NFL for his own mental health. He was studying and living in a tent and relaxing, trying to work with his issues, and people acted like he had just killed someone or done some horrible harm to humanity. It's football, folks. This is a man's life. And if smoking marijuana helps him deal with his problems, more power to him. It's not cocaine or hallucinogens, all it does is mellow a person out and make them hungry. It's a joke that the stuff is even illegal.
I just can't stand moralizers. You don't know what the kid is going through, cut him a break.
That said, I apologize for calling you that. It was uncalled for.
Go back to your reefer and continue smoking away....your a joke,pathetic
Its easy tough boy to get behind your little typing skills and say things like that over a forum..say it to someones face and I am sure it will come out differently..now back to your doobie and simply shut up.
This is old news. Ricky Williams, tested positive again... Ok I'm still waiting for the punch line to this continual joke. He's not playing in this league anytime soon. Especially with Goodell cracking down lately.
