that the NFL has suspended Ricky Williams for one year for failing his latest drug test.
I almost feel for the guy, but I think it's because I enjoy watching him play. Another year off could very well be the end of Ricky " I smoke alot of pot " Williams! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
You give someone the world and they just throw it away. This is more than likely the last straw for his career.
What I really hate is that he isn't a trouble maker, yet a trouble maker like T.O. plays with no problem. Don't get me wrong. I think TO's work ethic is second to none and his ability is amazing but he has so much off the field trouble making while Ricky doesn't do anything to hurt others, just himself.
Supposedly, and this is coming from several sources, it was a false positive. The league wouldn't give him a break though because of his previous problems.
How could you get a false positive on a drug test?
He took some kind of herb that made him test positive. It was under the area of amphetimines/cocaine/etc, something he never had tested positive to before. He gave them samples of what he was taking to prove his case but because he had been suspended before, they wouldnt let it slide.
I guess the league is saying that drugs are drugs. He won't recover from this, not even if he gets into playing shape again, who would take a chance on him. I remember seeing a thing on ESPN about how he has an anxiety disorder and he is prone to freak out in public places and stuff. A shame, he was a great talent.
They also just mentioned on SportsCenter that it is reported that Favre has let GB know he will return for the 06 season.
I hope Green Bay drafts Vince Young, that would be hilarious.
Favre and Green are a mean combo without a doubt, they just lack talent at receiver and the interior line.
Walker and Driver are more than capable when healthy. They do have some problems on the O-line but the bigger problem has been Favre's poor decision making as of late and trying to do too much.
Walker said he would never play for the packers again.
Terrance Murphy was released due to a condition with his spinal cord.
So other than Driver, they are pretty thin. Right now its Driver and Robert Ferguson.
They do have Rod Gardner as well which that isn't really saying much unless he turns his career around. I wouldn't count Walker out completely...who knows he might change his mind.
