Hopefully Chatman will be more than just a flash in the pan. The ‘Fins D was a little soft back then but it could’ve been worse. Off topic: wasn’t 41-38 also the score of that infamous Buffalo-Houston playoff game?

I can’t believe anyone would take a phone call from this loser, let alone the Dolphins, who can trace their collapse as a football team to four years ago, and Williams idiocy.

It's pretty sad when this is actually good news for the Dolphins.

Ugh. You're correct. We have slap run out of running backs, linebackers, safeties, and quarterbacks.

Then again, I'd rather go 1-15 and not have Williams.

At least you’ll get the draft pick ... but with this “management” that might not mean a thing. It is really amazing to see these “decision” makers pulling down big bucks to make decisions like bringing back Williams, isn’t it?

Chatman is what he is: a solid backup. I didn’t want him on the team this year—instead I wanted Patrick Cobbs, since I thought Lorenzo Booker was going to figure heavily into the offense. Booker hasn’t been activated for games despite making the 53-man roster, and Chatman’s been given a big chunk of the load, so it looks like I was wrong about him.

I thought Williams flunked a test just a few months ago.

You read a false report. Ricky applied for reinstatement a few months ago, as soon as he was eligible, but consideration of that reinstatement was deferred due to some specifics regarding the drug program and the NFL doctors. He was instructed to reapply after a certain date, did so, and was reinstated.

He’ll be in stage 3 of the program for the rest of his NFL career, meaning if he misses a drug test, fails a drug test, or generally does not comply with the program, he’s suspended indefinitely.

Ricky Williams' reinstatement is complete, with the Miami Dolphins saying they'll welcome him back on the field beginning Monday.

Let us hope he can regain his killer form, and his situation ain't Chronic.

No, a false media report about Ricky’s status.
