Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams might miss another season ... and this time it apparently won't be his decision. According to a broadcast report in Miami, which was later confirmed by two sources in a story posted Sunday on the Miami Herald's Web site, the Dolphins running back will be suspended for at least the entire 2006 season after failing a drug test for the fourth time in his career.

I'm shocked, just shocked.
Idiot.
Yeah, hard to believe isn't it?
Idiot.
Worth an NFL ping?
"Northern California studying yoga and holistic medicine."
I've heard they grow tons of that holistic stuff in Northern California.
Cant put down the bush...sad but he'll get another job as long as he can run with the ball
The Dolphins will be fine, Ronnie Brown was going to be the starting RB anyway.
When Williams was at UT, you could tell he had a ton of talent, and was also a total head case. The rest of the team surrounded him, and kept the rest out. When he showed up for the photo op with Ditka, wearing the wedding dress, it was apparent the handlers at UT weren't in control of him anymore. I think that's where a lot of college players get spanked at the NFL level. In college, they're far more protected than they know. In the NFL, they're a totally disposable commodity, and they've got tons of money, and lots of hangers on that want a free ride.
Yeah but we loved having Williams as a back-up, especially at the league minimum salary.
That word sums him up nicely.
they grow tons of that holistic stuff in Northern California.
making it Holy smoke?
If Williams does get suspended, it will cost him his entire salary for the year, and if he gets another chance, it will be at a far lower salary. Basically he's proven you can't count on him being there, so you can't pay him like a front line running back.
One thing about Williams, though, unlike many players busted for fighting, assault, etc., he just self-destructs.
He was league minimum? Wow. That marijuana cost him a lot more than $25 a bag.
I totally missed this... Rodman II??
Yes, it's a real photo, not Photoshopped.
Oh I believe you. I was just very surprised I never heard about it before, being an Eagles fan. I'd think they city would've collectively sighed a BIG sigh of relief they didn't draft a freak who'd wear a wedding DRESS. That is just revolting.
Oh, I don't think it's Rodman II. Rodman's pretty smart, played the system and got a LOT more money by being a freak. I think Williams is a six year old kid in the Hulk's body. He's going to end up with nothing.
