Hey guys just thought I'd share this after hearing about the piece of paper that was the gameplan for the Steelers game left in a hotel. Well that was nothing, I New Orleans he loaned a high school kid his neighbor where he lived in New Orleans his Hummer to drive to school. Not only is it crazy he allowed a teenager to drive his $80,000 vehicle, but inside the vehicle that the student borrowed was a notebook computer and during the Ditka era all Saints players were issued DVD notebook computers with guess what? Yep the team playbook, the lap top was left in his backseat when he loaned out his Hummer for the day to a student.

I don't remember exactly but I think Ricky mis-placed that notebook computer several times, needless to say the Saints didn't use notebooks again the next season. So leaving a page of a gameplan was nothing, the moral tell Saban to have someone keep an eye on Ricky's playbook.

I used to cover the Saints for an online magazine from 1997-2000 so I became quite familiar with the antics of Williams on a daily basis. I just thought I'd share that funny little moment.

:rofl3: yea Ricky is not too bright, but he is a talented player no doubt.
 
interesting. I bet that a bit of fun covering that team. Ricky gives headlines that write themselves.
 
looks like wonder boy ricky needs some extra supervision. not because of the latest news about the " blown out of the water piece of paper" he just looks lost all the time during interviews. or am i the only one that notices that?

i totally agree with you on that. Im scared to ask what the peice of paper had on it. "run up the middle...avoid getting tackled...go through the 4 hole..."

He's not lost, he's thinking about how to fit the microphone up the *** of the sideline reporter.
 
playbook. think about that for a second when thinking sensationalism. playbook = piece of paper.
 
I once had to interview him from the shower room, he sat down in full gear, including helmet sat against the wall by the showers and forced the media to interview him by having to kneel down, without touching the floor that was wet from showers, he was quite and interesting subject to cover, I will say I defended him even after he was traded, he was a great player, just had personality issues.
 
heres your playbook. QB hands off to Ricky, Ricky runs into wall, bounces outside for 20 yards. Its no wonder he left the damn thing at the hotel.
 
Guitarist Slash, during the early days of Guns-n-Roses, hired a bodyguard whose sole duty was to make sure he got home (or to the hotel room) safely if he got too drunk to make it there under his own power.

Maybe Ricky needs to hire an assistant whose sole duty is to make sure Ricky holds on to the materials that he is supposed to hold on to.
 
If Ricky looks "lost" it's probably just because he thinks at a higher level of abstraction than most of us, and is busy thinking about other, more important things, than the interview at hand.

I mean, if somebody was asking you something asinine like "How would you say the offensive line played yesterday" and you could focus brain "cycles" on that or pondering the nature of the universe, what would you do?

I think Ricky is just bored by the tripe he usually has to deal with.
 
oh my god.

we need to cut this guy NOW.

he sucks. he can't run anymore. id rather have a bowl of soup than this guy on the team.
