No excuses for Ricky

[PerfectFinz72]

I'm already tired of hearing the excuses for Ricky. If he failed the drug test or missed the test, doesn't matter.......it's a one year suspension regardless. I have seen too many posts already trying to bail Ricky out.

I can let the first time he retired slide, because he chose to do what makes him happy. This time, is inexcusable. Even if he was on a "vacation" in India, doesn't make it ok to miss a test. Now, if he was only in India for a few days and the NFL tried contacting him and could not, I can understand him missing the test. BUT, if he goes away for weeks at a time, he has to know that the NFL could hit him with a test.

I also don't want to hear the NFL is too harsh with these tests. Ricky put himself in this position where if he screws up, it's one year out of the game. If this turns out to be true, he let down his teammates, coaches and the fans (I'm not talking about the average fan, I'm talking about the Dolphins fans that welcomed him back after the early retirement).

I don't care what anyone says, Ricky doesn't love football. He may not even like it. I'd rather him do what makes him happy and be happy in life rather than him feel imprisoned by the NFL.

I was trying something different. Every thread is failed drug test. This is more about the excuses being made for him already. Besides, merging every single thread doesn't allow half the posts to be read.

You're just now realizing this?

Right, it is speculation. But, if he was in India and it was for more than a couple of days, he has to know he can be asked to take a test. If he misses a test, it can be considered a failed test, which could be a year suspension. You can't sugarcoat a suspension.

I don't care where he is. He gets paid a lot of money and gets a couple month vacation to boot.

Whether he failed it or missed the test matters little. This idiot has one offseason task in addition to staying in shape. Show up for the test and pass it.

Maybe he shouldn't have gone to India if it was going to interfere with the testing.

Either way he's earned permanent scumbag status in my book.

Yep agreed a scumbag that can run the football. Id rather let him go and try Ronnie enough of this ying yang stuff. 04 we lost our tail when we lost Ricky this year is different we got Ronnie, better line, and HC. If Ricky is gone for a year oh well lets move on regardless our team will make a playoff push in 06.
