November 23, 200421 yr Maybe we could have kept him if our offense wouldn't have been so bad and if the media wouldn't have been all over him... :confused Link SAN FRANCISCO -- Ricky Williams is living about three hours from where the Dolphins are spending the week preparing to play Sunday against the 49ers. But when it comes to Williams' future in football, the retired tailback may as well be another world away. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that while he may change his mind, Williams has no plans to play again despite attempts by his agent and lawyers to pave the way for his reinstatement. Williams had toyed with the idea of emerging from retirement a few months ago but decided to change his career goals. Williams is studying holistic medicine at a small college about 45 minutes outside Sacramento. "I decided I don't want to do this," Williams said of playing football. "It's not worth it. I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. "In football, I loved to practice and I loved to play. But I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things." Williams doesn't appear to have much sympathy for the Dolphins amid their 1-9 season or for ex-coach Dave Wannstedt, who resigned two weeks ago. Williams said he was especially dismayed with how the offense performed in the offseason under new coordinator Chris Foerster, whom Wannstedt promoted after Joel Collier resigned for medical reasons. "The offense didn't make sense," Williams told the Chronicle. "We weren't doing anything that was productive. We couldn't get a play off in practice. It was just a really crappy situation." Williams said he believes his life situation has improved since becoming involved with Ayurveda, an ancient Indian holistic science that the healersoftheworld.com Web site describes as "the knowledge of complete balance of the body, mind and spirit, including the emotions and psychology, on all levels." Williams is enrolled in a 17-month study program. "I've let a lot of things go, and obviously football is one of them," Williams said. "I think the hardest thing to let go is your self image. That's what I'm working on now."

November 23, 200421 yr yes, but a tailback is a type of running back. 620640[/snapback] I don't think there as specialized as they once were. Its the main back and the third down back really.
November 23, 200421 yr People like this need to live under communism. :plain 620653[/snapback] :blink:
November 24, 200421 yr Well, now he's being reinstated and gets to come back next year. Next week he'll want to be an astronaut, and the week after that an actor. I say we get the man a reality TV show.
