Football Alert

Wow. Do I know some Dolphin's fans that are freaking out!!! Ricky Williams, running back extrodinaire has announced his retirement.

The timing is just so bad for the Fins on this. George just went to Dallas so he's not available and we are just "that far" away from training camp.

I do admire the fact that Ricky never let the game rule his life. He made this decision because he can. He's got the money. He wants to enjoy his life.

But man will I miss wathcing that guy play!!

**btw - I'm not a Dolphin fan At All. I just appreciate talent.

I'm not a fins fan, but you reminded me that college ball is coming up! I love college football.

No mistaking the talent. Football-wise, I hate to see him go. Fantasy fooball-wise, all I can say is, YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!! The man has helped to beat me too often! Now if Clinton Portis would do the same! :)

Ohhh - another Fantasy Football fan!! WooHoo.

I'm not hardcore. I just do the free NFL week to week. I just started last year. It was hysterical. If anyone had seen me they'd have thought I'd lost my mind. I had both computers going, all three tvs blaring, running from room to room and watching the rest on the computers. It was almost as fun as watchin' my Bucs play live. I said ALMOST!!

Yeah - Football, football football. Something to take my mind off of all the rest of the stuff going on!!!

Well, the fact is that he let his team and teammates down and has given them zero recourse to change things at this late date. He may be exceptionally talented, but he seems also to be exceptionally selfish.

If he wanted to retire, I have no argument with him, but he could have done it after the season ended last year. Considering how much these guys get paid to play a game... it pretty much pisses me off. That said - I'm not a Dolphin fan and never have been. My team is now defunct - the St. Louis Cardinals. The St. Louis Rams (as a name) has never sat well with me...

I have much in common with Brooklyn Dodger fans - LOL.
