But "somehow" this guy in cleveland got it, blabbed it all over the airwaves days ago, and STILL no one has anything on it. If it is true why did it just die there?pigskinguy said:

WRONG...he has not already been suspended under any way shape or form....he could be if doesn't enter the NFL's rehab program. But that still remains to be seen. Where the hell do you get your info from pal. If you don't know then don't comment, don't just make sh*t up.Buddwalk said:

As long as Ricky doesnt come back before July, he wont be suspended for the full year. According to league rules, he still owes a 4 game suspension for failing his earlier tests. The NFL gave him a chance to serve that suspension during his retirement, but Ricky did not respond to their offer. So, as it stands right now, Ricky can return to the Phins in July, and can begin playing in Week 5.

not a guy in cleveland, It was NFL insider Fred Edelstein (former big time NFL insider or self proclaimed) called into the show. The deal can't go down until july something. But the peices are already in place for it to go down. He gave excellent details. I just can't remember them all.

How long do you think it would take Ricky to get back to his playing weight? I mean its been well sighted that he's about 30 pounds under his playing weight and hes become a vegetarian. I think if he comes back he should have to suck it up and eat a whole cow.

You just got pwned by my mod. So it's doubtful that you'll ever be back to respond to this. :rofl:
Anyway, if we have two 1000-yard backs, do you not think that Saban would look to trade Ricky?? Of course he would. You've got a young RB making #2 overall money. And you'll have a Ricky Williams who's probably not going to want to be a backup or split time. Odds are he won't be making the minimum either. If he is and he rushes for 1000 yards, he's going to want a hefty raise.
Again, why would Saban not want to explore draft compensation for Ricky if he shows that he's back to his old self again?? He'd be crazy not to.
As a general rule, the ones who yell the loudest and insult most know the least.

Fighting the media, one lie at a time
A couple of things. First, Fred Edelstein was notorious for making up crap. He had it as a done deal that Marino was going to be traded before JJ's first game, and kept brining that crap up as a new "scoop" throughout that first season.
However, despite his notorious lack of credibility, I'm beginning to think Saban REALLY does want RW back, and not just for trade purposes. After drafting Brown, Saban listed his ability to, and I'm paraphrasing here, "play with another significant player", as being one of Ronnie Brown's appealing qualities.
I don't like it, it makes me sick, but I'm curious if there may not be something to this. The part about counting his 1 year "retirement" as his "suspension", with no 4 game suspension for the 05 season sounds COMPLETELY consistent with the way the NFL handles things. I've said it before, multiple times even, if RW wanted back, the NFL would find a way for him to play. He was a superstar, and the NFL treats those guys VERY, VERY differently than the Jeff Zgonias of the world.
Time will tell.
