Ricky Williams Retires

Recommended Posts

First of all, provide a source.... and second of all I checked NFL.com and sportsline.com, they do not mention this.

 

ESPN, the Miami Herald and the Miami Dolphins.

Ricky had alot of problems with depression and stuff of that nature. I hope whatever he chooses to do now finally brings him a smile. He was a good guy to watch run.

This gots to be bullshit.

Nope, sadly enough for the sport its not. He said he was going to play this year for his teamates but in the end he couldn't play for anybody but himself. He said going into it half-heartedly would cost his team and possibly get himself injured.

This is a crippling blow to the Dolphins so I'd imagine he'll finish this season out of respect to the organization and give them a chance to make the Playoffs/Super Bowl before hanging the sneakers up. It'll give him a final season and allow Miami to prepare to draft a running back next season.

 

I am a Pats fan but I didn't want to see Miami go down like this. My two brothers and Dad are Dolphins fans and right now they are in shock I would bet.

 

And A.J. Feeley has got to be crying cause he'll be a dead man.

 

ETA: Nope, he's done now....wow. That is...wow.

Wow. This is absolutely shocking.

 

I wish him luck in whatever he chooses to do, and hope that the whole anxiety disorder shit is behind him.

 

I'll miss watching him play, he was incredible.

Ricky always has been a strange one. But I'd have to say that THIS is certainly out there, even for him.

 

I can at least respect him somewhat for quitting if he knows his heart isn't in it.

Lets just say he was no Barry Sanders. But he was much younger than Barry and always seemed to not reach his peak.

Hmm. He pretty much screwed the Dolphins by waiting until AFTER Eddie George and Antowain Smith, the two big FA RB sign with other teams.

 

Yeah see, this is what shocks me. Ricky is a great guy and he held off on this decision until no one was available. It's a great breakthrough he is finally doing something for himself and his family...but damn he left Miami in the middle of rapids while he swam off with the paddles and life jackets.

 

Is there anyone left they could acquire or is Travis Minor now the starting running back of the Miami Dolphins?

I am not surprised at all at this decision. He never seemed truly happy playing football and was always shy about the fame.

 

At least he had the decency to leave when he knew he wouldn't have the heart for it.

They could always aquire somebody in a trade. This is probably crippling to them though since they have an overpaid 2nd string QB now leading them and no RB. Time to start rebuilding it would seem.

 

As a Pats fan this helps my team out alot.

I checked the roster...yep, the Dolphins backfield will be Fiedler/Feely, Rob Konrad and Travis Minor.

 

Minor is an outstanding third down back, but I don't know if he can get any better than that. I'm checking the free agent market and seeing who they could snap up.

Man A.J. Feeley is F-U-C-K-E-D.

Ladies and gentlemen of the forum, this is the TSM "Understatement of the Year"™ for 2004.

I'm sure this has something to do with Williams second failed drug test.

 

Damn, why couldn't he lay off the ganja for a season?
