    ...Or Williams is another inductee for the "Freak Show Contestant Hall Of Fame."

    Ricky Williams smoked a little dope and marched to the beat of a different drummer. BFD.

    Even though he did squat his one year up here with the Argos, he always came across in interviews as thoughtful. Very soft spoken guy who as good as he was, never seemed to fit into the macho world of pro football.

    Ricky Williams smoked dope. Ricky Williams likes dope. Ricky Williams will be puffing like a steam engine when he retires. Good for him. Next story.

    Ricky's not much of a team player, but legitimate individuality prevents that. It's a little disappointing he didn't get more out of his abilities, but the guy seems happy and doesn't cause near the trouble many of his peers do, so he's OK by me.

    When I saw the thread slug I briefly thought legalization had snuck up on us. :D

    Upon gaining whatever certification is required for this line of work, I'm guessing his first client will be LeBatard.
