Ricky watchers: John Riggins weighs in; has more sympathy for Ricky than T.O.

I read that article in the Post today. I loved it. I don't necessarily like Riggins, but I respect this specific article.

We'd be stoked if we found out T.O. was suddenly on our team.
That being said, he's being an a$$ IMO.

We would?

the real problem is, when teams in the league give rookies (A.Smith--S.F.) stupudly huge money, and they havent even played a down yet.. guys like T.O. who are veteran players and bonafide stars in ths league.. are going to want to make more $$$.
Should T.O. *****... no.. he has a very good contract. But after what San Fran paid out to Alex Smith, Im surprised more vets arent freaking out!

TO's a greedy ba$tard. Last Year he made 9 million plus endorsements. Click on the link http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/salaries/playerdetail.aspx?lname=O&player=1762 and look at his total salary. I'm never gonna see that kind of money in my life and he's complaining. Shut up already and report to camp.

T.O. certainly got more than his share. But this is a very interesting link. It shows that Fiedler made more than twice what Culpepper did last year. Also shows the Dolphins payroll was quite a bit more than New England's. Things that make you go hmmmmm. Thanks for the link.

Ahem...

Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin. And I've got a lot of it. The only thing I would be stoking would be the fire to burn in effigy the idiot who brought him to Miami. That would be like the Darwin award winner who investigated the inside of a fuel tank with a cigarette lighter.

Interesting column from the Washington Post via MSNBC.com.

Riggo weighs in

Here's a money quote from writer Michael Wilbon on why we should care what Riggins thinks:

Wow. I suddenly like Riggins. He's pretty smart when he's sober.
