Actually, I was just putting it into perspective. The post was not all about pot. Sorry if your comprehension was a little off.
And FYI, his contract was heavy with incentive bonuses which he rightly earned during his time at Miami. However, there was a clause stating if he did not fulfill his contract, he'd have to pay the money back. This is his fault. Because it was contractual, the money should be paid back.
Please read the post again. You will then grasp it fully. Please think before reacting.
Oh well ok, I did read your post. But lets see, if he signed the contract and didn't finish out said contract then he is in default of the contract. It doesn't matter if he earned the incentives or not. Spin it however you want so it makes you feel all warm inside pal. He didn't fullfill the contract, his motives for wanting to come back are questionable.
He is what he is, an immature man, or like you put it a boy in a mans body, but don't make excuses for him or feel sorry for him, he has the resources (friends, agent, medical professionals, money) around him to help him when he felt he needed it. You, me, Ricky can blame it on S.A.D. or pot or whatever...it doesn't make him anymore stable, reliable or believable when he says he wants to play football and that he quit smoking weed.
I've heard posters mention using an incentive laiden contract so it keeps him honest, but it won't, it didn't before, he's aloof, he does what he chooses to do without consideration. And in the middle of a playoff run in (lets say) 07 he decides he's had enough and disappears.Hmmm poor poor Ricky,,,,,,,,,,
he's confused, a little boy in a mans body.
All he did was smoke some pot....
he has S.A.D.
He didn't kill anyone or sell drugs..... :shakeno:
Lets just keep giving him every opportunity to keep screwing people over.
If he signs a 3 year deal and at the end of that deal he says he's going to retire and give the organization an opportunity to draft or replace him then fine and dandy. It's sure a hell of a lot better than how he handled it last time.
