Chris Carter interviewed Ricky Williams this week on Inside the NFL. He came off very likeable. Ricky showed himself to be intelligent, introspective and really seems to have the right attitude and be mature enough to learn from his mistakes. I was hoping he would mention his website, but he didn't...
Ricky told Chris that if he'd been today's Ricky Williams back the first year after Ditka drafted him, that Ditka would still have his job...
Ricky also talked about the first time he met with Haslett... He said that he was excited to meet the new coach but all that was ruined when Haslett told him that he had heard Ricky was a Premadonna(<-sp) and getting special treatment from ricky.
Ricky went on to tell Chris Carter that Haslett would act surprised when Ricky had a good practice, like Haslett forgot how good he was and the Ricky paused and said "I guess alot of people forgot how good I was..."
Also, when asked if Saints fans should feel cheated because they never got to see the real Ricky Williams. He responded with a grin and said "They will get to see the real Ricky Williams, he'll just be wearing a Dolphins uniform..."
On another note...
Watching the "Highlights" of the Jets-Patriots game (for Jets fans thats a contradiction in terms) was really enjoyable...
I particulary enojoyed watching Vinny pass get Picked off in the 4th qtr and returned for a TD by a guy the Jets cut last year! What a bitter pill to swallow for Jets fans. To have to watch someone they cut last year running down the sidelines carrying the Jets last chance at salvaging any kind of dignity from a horrendous game into their own endzone... Wow, ya know its the little things in life that make it worth living... what a satisfying moment in football history.
Next week it will be the Fins turn to make the Jets pay, and 8 games of frustration is gonna be one hell of a tab to pick up...
