That dumbass has done more to screw up the Dolphins than any other person (including Wanny). [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I feel for the guy. He has such great talent. He isn't using anything that is going to enhance his performance on the field and he hasn't gone after anyone physically or though the press like say a T.O. has. I know it is a illegal drug but I still feel for him. He seems like a good guy, a little misguided yes but you don't have to worry about him blowing up at anyone and causing trouble or shooting anyone.

I dont see nothing wrong with it if the guy wants to smoke it in his free time. The thing I never understood with these athletes like Bam Morris and oh Newton is, your in the NFL, your making millions of dollars, why do you need to sale drugs? If you got 222 pounds of marijuana you plan on smoking, then good for you, but dont be trying to sale it, you dont need the money.

The Miami Herald reported Monday that two "sources" said, "Williams failed a test for a substance not publicly known." I wonder if this is something new?

or he could have used something to screen his urine, and it showed up on his drug test. ( the screening agent ) Either way I hate it for the guy, I would have liked to seen him come back the way he did and be succesful. They tested him several times throughout the season and he alledgedly passed all of those, and he was running the ball pretty strong towards the end of the season. My question is, after his year susension does he come back? will he have to repay the dolphins for breach of contract?

Saban and the Dolphins praised Williams' attitude, work ethic and leadership. Dispelling his reputation as an aloof, selfish pothead, Williams became such a model of good behavior that he was chosen co-winner of the local media's annual postseason Good Guy Award, given to the player most cooperative with reporters.

Williams laughingly described himself as weird and compared his career to a roller coaster. Since returning last season, the NFL has required him to undergo drug tests up to 10 times a month
