So, where's the $8 million that he's supposed to return? Probably in some offshore account in the Cayman Islands.
Ricky Williams 60 min interview
- Thread starter kneifl
- Start date
Regardless of whatever disorder he has....
-He seems to have little regard for the future of the various children he has spawned. Someone needs to tell him, that Denver announcer, that other NBA fat **** that use to play for Seattle, that their is more involved in raising a kid than money. Keep your F'n shlongs covered.
-He came across as quite arrogant. This is the same guy that has all the answers (or is at least in a constant "state" of looking for them), yet contradicts himself constantly. Don't know what disorder that is. Think it's called stupidity.
-Uses the media at his will and his public perception, then questions others when they make their own opinion.
I wanted to take a match to that shit growing all over his face. Bet you he gets to taste his veggie food all day.
He'll end up assuming room temperature soon enough.

If you believe that wisdom and harmony, not money, lead to happiness, then is it better to provide your children with wisdom and harmony or with money?
Their best opportunity is if he has a nice life insurance policy. They should be able to cash that in in the near future.
Wisdom doesn't lead to happiness....who told you that?? And Harmony? What are you going on about? You just must be a SoCal, no other explanation for it.
Williams is another low-life scumbag who found he could run a football and get people interested in him. He proceeded to huckster them out of as much as he could so he could go off and procreate and hit the Ganga.
He is one lump of turd. But I tell you this, gentlemen. There is a team out there who will sign him and he will suit up next year.
Isn't America great??

There are only two rules someone needs to live by in order to have 'harmony' or lead a semi-responsible life.
1. You can do anything you damn well please.
2. You have to live with the consequences of the decisions you make.
Or, in Ricky's case:
May the bridges I burn, light my next joint.

part of me understands what he is saying if i really stop and think about it but then the otherside of it is .......the things that i do not understand about Ricky I am not even remotely close to understanding where he is coming from......i think he has some valid points tho...........like when is it "ok" for him to retire when he wants to or when something bad happens or he gets cut.....he might be a whole lot smarter than what we all are thinking.......different kinda fella thats for sure
Williams clearly said that he still is a part of his children's lives in the interview. Of course, IntenseOperator is avoiding answering a straightforward question because answering it will crush his entire argument.
I never said I believed that wisdom led to happiness. I just said *if* you truly believed that it did, then you might think differently. Say what you will about Ricky, but it seems to me that he truly believes that in the search for happiness, money is secondary to wisdom and harmony.
I agree strongly with what marine wrote. There are no shortcuts in life. That applies to Williams, who clearly shuns money as a false idol, as well as to those who make morally questionable efforts to get what they think they want out of life (money, women, Mark Jacobs handbags, etc).

I agree Nick, back when our great grandfather lived we could have gotten any, but with the slave trade ugly people such as me and you don't get laid. Ricky Williams IS stealing our women and we do have to make a stand! Power to the people.

I really do wish Ricky well. He obviously has some issues but he has to live with them. The NFL is just a job. I know several active players right now and 2 of the 3 have told me it hasnt been "fun" to play since high school. The NFL is a business and if Ricky wasnt contributing they would have cut him in a heartbeat. So I dont feel sorry for them at all.
On a side note I took a 40k pay cut three yrs ago and took a part time job so I could care for my grandmother. We lost her Jan 13th of this yr. If anyone would say I was immature or stupid for taking the pay cut I took at the time I would have just laughed at them.

Didn't want to avoid anything. Didn't feel the need to get into another one of "Nick's" philosophical discussions. You seem to direct all threads in that fashion, whether you start them or enter another's. I was trying to do something you are not capable of, and that is staying on topic. Since it seems fashionable to pre-determine others motives, I'm thinking you generally operate in threads this way to feel more "educated". You can get into long diatribes with others on the "big" picture. I was in a thread about Ricky Williams and a 60 minutes interview. I tried to direct my responses so.
And I wasn't arguing nothing. It's an observation and opinion.
If I say red, you'll say green anyways.
GL on your action
And his children will never get the upbringing they deserve. And that's not because of society's social structure, or that he's been disfigured or handicapped, or that some horrible accident happened. It's because he's an irresponsible arrogant puke that doesn't have a clue. Either he's pissed away the millions or he's tucked that away to avoid responsibility of one form or another. He's pulling the standard "I'm the victim" crap which irritates me to death and DEFINITELY does not apply to his situation. Whatever ailments he has have no bearing on his judgements or lack there of.
Ask Karl Malone's kids or Larry Bird's daughter what the money their fathers have made has done for their lives.

Wow,
Lots of responses to this thread. I was just giving my feedback on the interview the way I perceived it. However, I think there has been a lot of good responses to this thread. Also, I think it's quite easy to seperate the idiotic responses from the good ones

I don't understand why so many care what Ricky decides (unless they are Dolphins fans). Its his life so let him decide for himself what makes him happy. Bottom line is football IS only a game. If he comes back, he comes back and if not what does it matter to us? It baffles me why some are so upset with what Ricky does. I mean it isn't like he has been accused of child molestation like Michael Jackson.
Did anyone consider that perhaps a very long daily weed addiction is what led to his "poor mental issues"? Possibly led to his eccentric behavior? Might be responsible for bad decision making?
---Ricky don't lose that 'number'..........it's the only one I've rolled.

I just completely fail to understand so much of what you post. How can you claim that Williams "shuns money as a false idol"?. In that case, why doesn't he return the $8 million he owes the Dolphins, Nick? You know, the $8 million that he took as a signing bonus under a written agreement that he would play out his contract.
Williams is just like so many of his kind....money and drugs, that's all that counts. Nick, I have no idea why you would try to assign a higher motivation to him. Why on earth would you give him any credit? As for his kids, why does he leave the country for long periods of time, live alone, and make no commitments, despite having several kids with three different women.
Nick, try this word for "Ricky": Scumbag
Money and dope....how long can it be before Williams finds a home in the NBA.
