And The Bunghole Of The Week Award Goes To.....

Wait for it.....

Wait for it.....

Ricky Williams.

.

Yes, THAT Ricky Williams (perish the thought of more than one running around). I guess Irie Ricky has decided that maybe he's not quite ready to retire yet, but he'll only come back if he can play for the Raiders. Let's see, can we tell he's stoned out of his freakin mind?

Hmmmm....let's think about this for a second (obviously he didn't) -- first he fails a drug test for the THIRD time in his five years in the NFL and is facing a suspension for the first few games of the year. Next, he decides that, rather than get suspended, he's just going to retire and travel the world (although, I think he woulda got sidetracked in Amsterdam for 10 or 15 years). Never mind the valliant Pat Tillman, this guy wants to just go get high and bum around rather than make MILLIONS - now that's just fuckin stupid!

Now this normally wouldn't have been that bad if he would have retired right after last season ended, but he and his 6,300 career rushing yards retire about five days before the start of training camp and leaves his whole team in the lurch. Hell, if he would have retired a week earlier, the Dolphins would have at least been able to make a run at Eddie George for the season. No dice.

Now, as if he hadn't proven himself to be an immature, misguided flake enough (can you say Mike Tyson?), he's decided to hold his team hostage and tell them that he'll honor his contract, but only if they trade him to the Raiders. Whatssamatta, Ricky, did you look at your bank account, realize how much pot you smoke a day and do the math? Or did a member of your 'posse' do it for you?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Dolphins fan (Cowboys fan here), but when an athlete wastes his talent and his actions prove him to be a selfish asshole, it totally disgusts me. Fuck off, Ricky. The NFL doesn't need another walking bag of THC residue.

Why couldn't this have happened to the Eagles?
