First of all It may seem that this thread should have been created about 1 year ago, but I want a part of FH then, I just want to see what your first reaction was when you heard the news.

When I read the sports section of the Miami Herald, I first saw a picture of Ricky and I thought ''I wonder what they are gonna say about him?'' Then I looked at the Big bold letters that read Ricky Retires(or something along those lines) I said to myself, ''What the Fuc*, is this some kind of joke'' I just couldnt believe it and after reading the paper and watching SportsCenter and when I saw on the Bottom Line the sentence: Miami Dolphins Running Back Ricky Williams retires, for about the 12th time reality set in and I was fuming, I tore the Ricky poster in my room to shreds, and thats the day I knew theres no way in hell we can have a good season.
 
Shocked doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. I thought it was a joke. Then I hoped it was a joke. Then I realized the team was in BIG trouble.
 
i thought that he had gotten married to Lenny Kravitz just got married (just like trick Daddy)
 
i burned 2 jerseys:cry:
 
Shocked and resigned. My roommate broke the news to me from across the apartment and laughed at me. I couldn't believe it. I knew he was a flake though, so I think I was semi-prepared.

I ended up being VERY mad at his timing of the whole thing. I maintained he had every right in the world to retire whenever he felt like it in order to maintain his health or do whatever he wanted, but the Dolphins would have had the opportunity to trade for a RB or sign Eddie George in FA if he had done it in a more timely manner. I think even Ricky is sorry about that.
 
I was vacationing in Saratoga. I immediately ran to the phone and started calling my offshore accounts. I bet our season wins under 8.5.
 
I thought it was a dream at first, then I just sank into this blind rage. I was so mad and it sucked because it was reported late at night.
 
i found Finheaven 15 minutes after i heard it on ESPN. I need companionship and anger from fellow finfans
 
I couldn't sleep for about 2 hours... I realized that he retired late at night... The next day they talked about it all day and I felt horrible...

Now I look at it as a good thing, Wanny is gone :goof:

ya know, im not discussing how i felt (really bad...) instead im pretending it didn't happen. :drinkers:
 
At first I was I thought it was a joke. Then I checked around. It's the closest I've ever been to being in shock. I just sat there and looked at the screen. Then I cried :cry:
 
Got a call at midnight well I was at a bar..kind thought nothing of it.


Saw it the next morning and was pretty pissed. Even more pissed on why he retired.
 
I didn't believe it at first.

Really, I didn't.

I just got ESPN NFL 2K5 and I was rushing Ricky 350+ yards a game :rofl3::rofl3:

Then the season started :cry::cry::cry:
