Have you seen the amount of $$$ Ricky has lost because he can't put the weed down.
cLaY's opinions are not welcome.

The Miami Dolphins have responded to the news that running back Ricky Williams lost his appeal of his fourth violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. Under the ruling, Williams will be suspended for at least one calendar year. Thereafter, he will be permitted to apply for reinstatement.
"This is a league decision, and we are disappointed in what it means for Ricky and the team," said coach Nick Saban in a statement released by the team. "Ricky did an outstanding job for the Dolphins, not only as a player but also what he added as a person to the team's chemistry and to our overall success. I know I speak for all of his teammates and the entire Dolphin organization in supporting him in any way we can in his future endeavors."
Said Ricky, per the team: "I'm disappointed with the decision but I respect it. I'm proud of my association with the National Football League and look forward to returning to the Dolphins in 2007."
Compare the two statements, and pay particular attention to Saban's final words -- " . . . in his future endeavors." In our opinion, that's code for, "It's over. We're done. Nice knowin' ya. Get the hell out."
Technically, Williams' contract tolls, meaning that the Fins hold his rights for two more seasons, at $585,000 and $670,000.
Williams also owes the team $8.6 million under an arbitration ruling entered against him after he abruptly retired prior to the 2004 season. When we interviewed Saban last year, we asked him about the status of Ricky's debt to the team.
"I try to stay out of the business side, and I'm not trying to dodge the question here," Saban said. "But the business side of some of this stuff, there's a lot of legal ramifications relative to all this, and I think these are things that are all going to have to be resolved as he continues to play. And it's between his agent and our organization to try to do whatever is fair and equitable for whatever the consequences of all those situations are. I haven't gotten in that arena, nor do I want to."
To date, the Fins have not released the judgment, even though it's unlikely that the team ever will recover much (if any) of the money.
Still, Williams has some football in him, if he plays for Miami or another team in 2007. He's only 28, and he'll be 30 at the start of the 2007 season.
But his reinstatement isn't a no-brainer. While in exile, he still must comply with the requirements of "Stage Three" of the NFL's substance abuse policy, which includes submission to testing and treatment. In other words, if he tests positive again at any time in the next 12 months, his chances of being reinstated after one year will be diminished.
If Ricky had $8.6 million, we'd suggest against letting it ride on whether he'll make it that far

Favre told the pack he'd be back three months ago..
the pack told the NFL (explains G.B. getting national TV games)
Favre may be the most overrated QB in the history of the NFL..
Montana>Young>Elway>Favre

Young was the best statisical quaterback to ever play. Had he played with Elways team for the same amount of time.. he would have won at least 3 superbowls.
how many 2,000 yard rushers did Young play with?
04-26-2006, 06:46 PM
Young left it all out on the field every game, too bad he doesn't have anything left upstairs now.

If stats mattered he'd be #1 wouldnt he?If he played for denver they would have never made the first 3 AFC title games that they made.

How many greatest recievers of all time did Young play with?
You guys realize that its almost an excepted fact that its Montana\Elway at one and two with alot of people arguing that Elways the one?Youngs a great QB but he didnt build anything, he just stepped into a winning system.

Youngs first full season for the 9ers was in 1992.. He played in the 92, 93, 94 and 97 NFC Championship games.. (1998 was his last year) won the 94 superbowl and was MVP.
Elway played in 6 AFC Championship and five superbowls.. he won two of them. Elway played full time from 1984 through 1998.
I think something can be said about playing 8 more years than young. Its hard to compare these guys on statistics because elway played longer.. but I belive Young was the better QB.
