After his comments criticizing just about everyone, either Ricky Williams is done in Miami, or Tony Sparano, Chad Henne and Brandon Marshall are. Yeah, Ricky's gone. Just another chapter in his odyssey. More »

Williams credits his success and durability this season to a new type of alternative medicine. No, he doesn't mean weed, as we're all assuming. Ricky's "pranic healing" regimen is far stranger. More »

In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like Ricky Williams and Tim Lincecum, who yesterday inhaled deeply the vapors of success. And perhaps some other stuff, too. More »

Ricky Williams is no longer searching for enlightenment in the bottom of a water bong. Oh, he still wants enlightenment, but now he's looking for it in a second career as a holistic healer. More »

In the December issue of Playboy magazine, our buddy Pat Jordan penned an enormous profile on the ganja-toking, yoga-loving problem child, as he attempts to rejuvenate his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins. In the piece, we learn about his many quirks, his relationship with the mother of his two children, the hefty child support payments he makes to the mothers of his other two children, his "social anxiety", and being alienated from everyone on the Saints due to his erratic behavior. One of the more interesting anecdotes is when Williams talks about the classic ESPN the Mag cover, the one when he posed in a wedding dress with Mike Ditka. It turns out this idea didn't come from anyone at the magazine — it came from Ricky Williams: More »

I give credit to Miami Herald reporter Armando Salgeuro for asking running back Ricky Williams prior to the Dolphins' bye week if he had the urge to smoke marijuana, but it's equally baffling that Williams, already a multiple drug offender in the league, would actually say "Yes" to the question.

It's easy to forget that the Miami Dolphins will once again have Ricky Williams in the backfield in 2008, but he's received Bill Parcells' support (amazing) and is rehabbed and ready to go for next season. In an interview with the Austin American Statesman, we find out that Williams, at 31, is much more focused, in great playing shape, and ready to do what he can to salvage a football "legacy" that has been marred by weed smoking and existential wackiness.

In case you were wondering how Ricky Williams is keeping himself busy these days, he is of course indulging his true passion. No, not that passion: The other one. More »

The ball is rolling for Ricky Williams to get himself back in the National Football League. His agent, Leigh Steinberg, claims that Ricky's in the best shape of his life (though I don't know if an agent has ever said that a client of his wasn't in the best shape of his life) and has passed all of his pee-pee tests.

The ludicrously stretched gentleman here — if we could do that, we'd never leave the house! — is Ricky Williams, and if you're the type to never get tired of Ricky Williams stories, well, here's another one. More »

For those of you not up on your Grey Cup, the East semifinals are this weekend, featuring the Winnipeg Blue Bombers against the Toronto Argonauts and our old friend Ricky Williams. During a practice interview — the interview was real, but it was after practice, if you'll forgive our somewhat misplaced modifier — Williams was asked typical dumb "can you step it up for the playoffs?" questions by a TV reporter, and Williams, doing a poor job of hiding the fact that he could give two shits about the freaking Canadian playoffs, went off a little bit.

Ricky Williams made his Canadian Football League debut last night in a pre-season exhibition game for the Toronto Argonauts. It looks like Ricky's domination of the Canadian game is not a given. He had seven yards on four carries. And I think his numbers get even worse when you consider the exchange rate. More »

In what seems like a logical move to us, the CFL's Toronto Argonauts are making a run at Ricky Williams, now that he's suspended from the NFL for a year. More »

It's clear, at this point, that Ricky Williams, who was officially suspended for the 2006 season yesterday, would have had a much better life if he had just never played pro football at all. If he would have just decided to travel the world and smoke weed right after leaving Austin, he would: More »

Somewhere in New York City right now, Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams is in an office building, appealing his suspension for drug abuse. (Hey ... we're in New York! Is that Ricky over there?) Apparently, they moved the location of the hearing to avoid all the reporters camped out in front of the NFL offices, which pretty much proves that there is, indeed, a media offseason in the NFL.

Ricky Williams is reportedly appealing his most recent failed drug test, which if proven true, could end his 2006 season for the Miami Dolphins. Williams previous failed tests were for marijuana but, according to the story, the latest failure was for another illegal substance. The ruling on his appeal won't be until April. More »

Ricky Williams' 2006-07 season has apparently ended before it began, as Denver TV station KDVR reported late Sunday that the Dolphins running back has either failed another drug test, or failed to show up for one. Either would be a violation serious enough for the running back, who has been suspended twice before for testing positive for marijuana, to be suspended for one year. More »

• Ricky Williams had six more yards yesterday than he's had droning "60 Minutes" profiles about him in the last year. So you know. Fortunately, that eight years is still about 50 less than the interviews Esquire writer Chris Jones has given about smoking pot with Williams. Maybe Ricky will catch up next week. More »

We will confess confusion about "60 Minutes" decaying muckraker Mike Wallace's strange obsession with Dolphins running back Ricky Williams. After his infamous interview last year — in which Wallace all but asked Ricky where he could score some good weed — last night's revisit with Williams consisted of Wallace showing up at a press conference during training camp and firing questions at Ricky.

We find it strange that "60 Minutes" second-place curmudgeon Mike Wallace has such a fascination with Dolphins stoner Ricky Williams, but apparently he does: He's in Dolphins camp this week for another round of interviews. Remember when you used to be scared when Mike Wallace came to interview you? Like, you were some corporate criminal ripping off investors, or taxpayers, or whoever? Now he interviews mediocre druggie running backs ... twice. Or, as coach Nick Saban might put it, Wallace is interviewing "mouse turds." More »

We still can't quite believe running stoner Ricky Williams is really going to play this year. This guy quit football to smoke pot — and hey, we're not gonna mock him for that; the only difference between him and a lot of our friends is that he actually had a job to quit — and left all his teammates (and soon-to-be-fired coach) sleepwalking into a terrible season. We didn't really blame him too much for that; whatever, man, we're all young, maybe he just didn't want to play football anymore. But we can't quite figure out how he really thinks this comeback is going to work. More »

In the wake of the news that Ricky Williams is eager to rejoin the Miami Dolphins, Florida Today's Carl Kotala gives five reasons why Ricky should return and, to be all schizo on us, five reasons why he shouldn't. Being a sportswriter, he throws a couple lame Whizzinator and Lenny Kravitz jokes in there, but ignores the real question: When will Dave Chappelle do his first Ricky Williams skit? It can't be long, can it? More »
