You want to do a story on Ricky nobody else has covered, find out what is going on with THE RICKY WILLIAMS FOUNDATION.
Is it still open? Is any organization working with it still even after he has admitted to doing weed and acting like a lunatic. Not one news source has covered this aspect of the Ricky story and I think there is a story there that hasn't been uncovered. If any money is still being taken in by the foundation where is it going? To pay Ricky's rent since he is out of a job, or to the Foundation and where it is supposed to go.
