With all of the Brett Favre talk one of the most intriguing figures in the league has not received the proper media coverage, so I thought I would make up for that.....

 Ricky Williams, yes that's right, you remember Ricky. Heisman Trophy winner at Texas, Mike Ditka traded his mortgage, wife and a child to be named later to acquire Ricky in the 1999 NFL Draft with the third overall pick as a member of the Saints. Then after three disappointing seasons he was sent to Miami to dance with Jason Taylor.....I mean run for the Dolphins.

 Long story short Williams retired in the prime of his career to climb mountains, and party with Lenny Kravitz and burn the hippy lettuce. Upon realizing that Kravitz is a B list celebrity Williams tried to make a comeback, but was suspended a year for violating the league's substance abuse policy and went to the CFL. The dream season didn't last long. He got injured, but on the bright side became eligible for medical marijuana. After healing up Williams came back with the Dolphins only to suffer a shoulder injury against the Steelers that side lined him for the remainder of the season.

 Fast forward to this season, The Miami Herald reports that Williams looked like the best player on the field...... not sure if that's because he was playing with the Dolphins or the guys at the Herald got into Ricky's stash.....either way that seems like much bigger news than Brett Favre being upset with the Packers.

Why the media is covering Favre more than Williams is perplexing...Williams is a guy who won a Heisman Trophy at the University of Texas and completely crashed and burned...lettuce....as a pro...aside from a few good years in Miami. With Brett you know what to expect, he's the All-American gun slinger, but Ricky is so much more interesting, when he retires it's because he has a party to get to not a BINGO game..or the early bird special at the IHOP.

 Here's to a great season Ricky.............
