Will be missing come NFL time...
Running back Ricky Williams on the football field. A true maverick of a sports superstar. Retired this week, at age 27. I was never a Dolphins fan, but always a Ricky fan. More on his unique story:
Here & @ www.runrickyrun.com (a site he built himself, if you don't believe him, just have a look!)

Favorite Quote of the Week...
"I didn't quit football because I failed a drug test,'' he told the Herald. ``I failed a drug test because I was ready to quit football.'' -Ricky Williams on testing positive for marijuana for a third time.
