Here's something I've spent a quantitative seven minutes pondering -- which is a persistently due amount of time squandering over Ricky Williams for me.
America loves drama, and America's biggest drama queen Ricky Williams has seemingly tattooed himself all over the NFL as late in epic 'Tom-and-Katie' like branding. But how much does the drama, the shorthanded storylines play into ratings??
I'd be willing to bet that if Cheech took his hike-to-divinity back to Miami a few months ago, we'd have some primetime games. Good, tangible beer-raising media. Yet we get short-strawed by the blandly amazing force of the Arizona Cardinals, the token 500 primetime games dished to Kansas City and Oakland and heck, even 'them damn 'Niners' get a hero-parade one Monday night.
Ah, I'm just dead-veined here. The media coverage has been crazy over this Ricky thing lately....yet our 'foward progression' is seemingly invisible to most. So do any of you think Ricky will bring ratings back to us? Or at least break us even?
I think we'll be alright as long as he doesn't open his mouth too often. He'll make Wyatt Sexton seem like a conservative liberal.
