I was unable to read all your threads here since I am at work. Forgive me if I repeat anything. Let me start by saying I would take Ricky back in a second. Remember, the media makes things sound however they want things to sound. They have the power to mince words and make people good or bad.
Also, Ricky suffers from an extreme anxiety condition. Remember him in N.O.? When he came to Miami he had a new lease on life and medication that he would speak about (Paxil). He was on the straight and narrow and doing great. One problem, Paxil makes you gain weight, and makes it much harder to stay at a playing weight. So, he falls in with the wrong crowd and decides to stop his meds (like most patients) against medical advice and when he begins to get anxious, he fall back on Marijuana (much like many people fall back on alcohol, xanax or valium). It relaxes him temporarily, and helps.
Then there's the coaching. I believe him and Wanny clashed alot. First of all they did nothing to help him and continued to run him into a brick wall (since there's no blocking) and there was no discussion of change. Then when there was the coaching breakdown last year (Collier whom Ricky liked was obviously pushed out and Trestman was not promoted because he would have passed more). Ricky was fed up with the abuse.
I know alot of this is without being there, but it is an aspect not often discussed, Gotta get back to work
:wink:
