Hello to all the depressed fans, and that includes me. I spent the day at the DOlphin Mall today, talking to hords of angry fans, as they saw just how much Ricky Williams apparrel and merchandise was scattered on a front table---with a clear markdown sign that read...."Good Riddance to RICKY"...All his namesake merchandise is currently 25% off, and this is going to be a continuing saga if this holds true, as all retailers are stuck with losses in Ricky sportswear, memorabilia, and novelties that are going to reach perhaps an unorecedented level of pure profit losses for any athlete in any recent memory. I actually talked to the manager of the Dolphins training camp pro shop today---and all he was fielding today....was calls from fans, wanting to return their RW merchandise back to the camp store...and like I heard today...its going to be a continuous cry for refunds or store credit---because there is absolutely no way that any real fan is going to take a #34 DOlphins jersey out of their closets and wear it proudly, much less wear it at DOlphin home games. I am not sure right now that we can even give away Ricky Williams jerseys... as much as the fans down here went bonkers of SHAQ and wanted to scoop up everything that they can get there hands on...this is just the opposite. I mean this is incredible....in 2 weeks...South Florida has had such a high and such a low...I cant remember a time since I havebeen down here...where there has been such a buzz from two different athletes---one coming and then one going. But Heat basketball does take a vacation now...and next week...the circus tents will be set up at Dolphin training camp....as the media waits for that little volkswagon to come up...and the start of 2 a days officially begin....as out of the car...here comes Dave and Rick...and then here are the Running backs...out comes LEONARD HENRY, TRAVIS MINOR, FREDDIE RUSSELL, and SAMMY MORRIS. The Ringling circus music is playing now....and the clowns are the ones that are applauding... Thanks alot Ricky...good riddance I say. You quit on your team...and the fans...and the merchandisers who depended on you. You may have turned your former team into Barnum and Bailey officially now....but you are the real BOZO that all of us will remember you as now. Its no laughing matter...but your merchandise may be just how you may like it.... they are going alright... "UP IN SMOKE"...
