This is not all the fault of Ricky Williams. Miami needs a QB in the worst way.

As a Chicagoan, we got our fill of Wanny's World. Miamians should thank their lucky stars.

So do about 20 other NFL teams.

Maybe they can hire Steve Spurrier so they can actually go winless next season.

Ricky's retirement is moot, he failed his third substance abuse test which would have suspended him for a full year anyway.

The way I see it, he retired several days before the test results were announced, so he gave them a couple of extra days to find a replacement. Plus now he has to pay back all that money.

Any chance you guys might take Aaron Brooks off the Saints' hands? I think we've got just the coach for you too...:-)

I disagree. You can just look around the league and see several examples of mediocre quarterbacks performing like stars -- look at Brees and Plummer in the AFC for object lessons on this score -- the one thing they all have in common is that they have an excellent running game. The counter-example is Brunell, as the Redskins have a solid running game, but he still sucks.

I watched this clown do nothing to increase the viability of the CHICAGO BEARS during his entire tenure there.

Then, to my amazement, MIAMI hired him.

Then, I watched him do nothing to build on the team he inherited from Shula.

1) Why did MIAMI hire him in the first place?

2) What took them so long?

It's amazing how that phenomenal Dallas Cowboy coaching staff, which directed four straight championship appearances and three Super Bowl victories, was so ineffective wherever they went: Jimmy J. failed in Miami; Turner in Washington, Wannstedt in Chicago, now Miami; Campo in Dallas . . . . and isn't Turner back in Oakland now? Strange.

And that QB needs to stay on his feet and have a clean jersey.

Miami has little choice. If I lost to Dennis Green, I'd consider hanging it up too. :)

Actually, Wannstedt was quoted as saying, "First Ricky Williams, now with Bush getting re-elected, I'm going to the CFL...."
