Resiliency is the key.
On Saturday I was on my way back to Montreal from Antigua. However we had a stop-over in Toronto. After the plane landed in Toronto and passengers are boarding, who do I see walking down th aisle, Ricky Williams. Noone even recognized him! As he approached me we made eye contact and he said "what's up", I smiled back and said "hey Ricky", he smiled back again and proceded by sitting 2 rows behind me, not even 1st class! He was wearing a white t-shirt, white track pants and sandals. Man at this point I felt like it was a dream.
After the plane was in the air, I gathered enough guts and went and crouched down next to him. I asked him if he liked the CFL and if he was looking forward to being back in the NFL. He kind of avoided the CFL question and told me how he missed his fellow teamates down in Miami. He told me that Ronnie was the man and that "the team down there was a great one" He especially highlited COACH SABAN as being great. I then told him how I wished he was with the team this year and that he had alot of supporters and fans out there and that he should take andvantage of his carreer as a proathletes career is a short one. He then noded his head and the feeling I got from his look was oone of ' man I wish I would have done things differently'. I also gave him an example of myself being 35 yrs old and living in Montreal and being such a die hard Dolphins fan who has maybe missed 3 games in the past 14 years. He gave me such a look of suprise and I really think that my statement kind of hit home. Not to say that I affected him in any way but it kind of surprised him. I then wished him all the best and shook his hand and went back to my seat. (no autograph or anything)
When we landed I expected him to meet up with this hot chick. But to my surprise who greeted him...................a 5'2" Buddhist monk dressed in orange. WOW! Ricky you are special. Still felt like a dream.
I know there are alot of Ricky haters and bashers and all that bad stuff. BUT, Ricky is a special invidual with rare talent. He is a very kind and gentle human being who would never harm anyone except for his selfish reasons. After all he is only human.
My feeling is that the CFL is only a stepping stone for him for whatever reason , maybe to stay in shape or for the money. Ragardless, I don't think he likes it too much. But I think he still has alot of milege in his body and that he will be back with Miami next year.
P.S. I don't post too often but I really appreciate all your informative comments and feedbacks to one another. I must check in 3-4 times a day with Finheaven. Thanks go for this site. You are all great and I hope you all enjoyed my experience on Saturday. I was really lucky especially that he had just played a game that same day.
