Fascinating stuff, as usual. Some good behind-the-scenes nuggets of information about the 2003 retirement.

Thanks for posting, Skape. I was busy watching the Cavs game (sorry, everyone) and missed the first 20 minutes. I thought it was a very well done show. I always liked Ricky, even when he left the 'phins hanging. He remains one of, if the not the most articulate, introspective professional athletes ever.

The people who thought he was "just a pothead" are ignorant fools.

Imagine a ricky Williams playing for today's saints , packers, etc... I always thought ricky could of gone down as one of the greatest RB of all time. The guy just had bad luck being on bad teams.

Barry Sanders played for Detroit that went 78-82 in the 10 yrs he played yet averaged 1526 yards per year
for his entire 10 yr career. Can you imagine Sanders with a "good" team
