Ricky Williams is cleared to join the Fish. We'll see how good he still it soon.

Isnt he suspended for games 1-4? Can he still play in the preseason?

It'll be interesting if they can trade him now that they have Ronnie Brown

Good, hope Rickey does well. Always liked him, still like him, even if hes a nut.

Knowing nothing about football, he's my favorite player.

Hes a contradiction, unique. Introverted intellectual who happens to also be one of the most talented football players ever. A non-jock jock, if you will. He has a sweet apartment in the french quarter, when most Saints players buy suburban monstrosities out in the metro area. Knew a kid that used to go play Madden with him. Also loaned his Hummer to a high school kid going through some problems. Just gave him the keys. Very cool.

I wouldn't call him on of the most talented footballplayers ever

He's an above average running back, who smokes pot, and seems to have the intelligence of an 8 year old

Did you actually see any of the interviews with him?

With non-guaranteed contracts in the NFL, I just think it's hilarious that a player would tell the team to go fuck themselves for a change.

PS: I think the NBA should have no guaranteed contracts~

Have you seen any interviews with him? Ive seen many. Well-spoken, articulate. When he speaks. Has an anxiety disorder, on Paxil I believe. You sure we are talking about the same Rickey Williams?

Watch the interviews with him from just a couple months ago, the 60 minutes ones

he comes across as an 8 year old, intellectually
