Well many of these are similar, but good thread anyway. I was helping my cousin move, and was moving a couch up a set of stairs. My phone went off, and since we had to wait for traffic in the bedroom to clear out, I rested the couch against my thigh and answered it. My brother the Giants fan, told me ricky had retied from the dolphins. My exact words were: "dude f--- off, I'm busy right now." And hung up. I finished moving the couch upstairs, and started to replay the call in my head. What if he wasn't joking? I called him back, and he was laughing, so for a split second I was relieved. Until he said, he was serious, and he was laughing cause the situation was so insane. My heart sank. I ran to the TV, turned on TSN (Canada's 24-hour hockey station, but will mix in a couple other sports when it feels like it), and saw the bulletin scroll across the bottom. I was sick to my stomach. Never have I seen an entire yet-to-be-played season flash before my eyes that quickly.
 
I was at home around midnight or whatever time it was that ESPN news originally announced it. My buddy who is a Pats fan no less...called me to tell me to turn on ESPN News b/c Ricky Williams just retired. Figuring it was a cruel joke he was trying to play I laughed at him...then when I realized he was serious I flipped to ESPN news and about had a heart attack. Couldn't someone other than a Pats fan have broken the news to me?
 
i was in my room and i turn to espnnews and i saw ricky williams to retire i didn't believe then i put on the radio and it said that i felt sad and angry
 
I was in concord nc. at my uncles house. Turned on the tv about 4 and saw it flash at the bottom of the screen. I was very angry, but my uncle and his family being panthers fans. I really think they could care less

But i told them just wait till Mushin Muhammid died,got traded , or retired and see how'd they react..

Got my wish, saw it on espn " mushin muhammid traded to Chiciago"...lol

called my uncle and started laughing at him, we havent talked since...LMAO
 
i was in bed about to goto sleep @ 12. I saw it on espn n felt like crying. well actually i did cry, as pathetic as it sounds.
 
I was on vacation in Newport beach. I got out of the shower and my punk *** friend said "I have a feeling ricky williams retired this morning". I lauighed it off and went about buring my hair. Moments later he turned up CNN and I heard the news behind me.

Holiday ruined.
 
I was asleep and when I woke up it was on the news and I was like what the F?
 
I was at Finheaven. I didn't believe it at first.

Too bad he didn't except that deal to unretire and serve his 4 game suspension last season. He could've been playing in week one this year.
