October 1, 2007

You read the headline, so you already know what’s going on here. Ricky Williams applied for reinstatement to the NFL. As you may remember, Williams was suspended in April of 2006 after violating the league’s drug policy for the fourth time. On top of that, he again tested positive for marijuana this past April, which ensured his delay would be longer.

Ricky’s team, the Dolphins, are currently 0-4, after yesterday’s loss to the Raiders (where former Dolphins QB Daunte Culpepper decided to score 5 touchdowns)…the Dolphins could possibly use the help, although Ronnie Brown seems to be a pretty capable running back, and more importantly, Dolphins coach Cam Cameron hasn’t stated if he even wants Ricky back.

For Ricky’s sake, I want him to come back and do well. I know he’s getting old, but I still think/hope that he has some good years ahead of him. There will always be room for a running back of his present caliber on an NFL team; someone just needs to take a chance.

Ricky Williams is represented by Jerry Maguire Leigh Steinberg, whose contact information I don’t seem to be able to find (isn’t that crazy? the guy they made a movie about, and I can’t find contact information for him?)
