DAN LE BATARD......Nose up Rickys butt

[Novacane]

He makes Ricky out to be some kinda hero

lines like.....

He wants to study, learn, search, travel, question, write, meditate, read, wander, find himself, climb mountains, take pictures of waterfalls and be Dad without being interrupted by another 8 a.m. meeting to dissect film.


:puke:


Society and the NFL say he can't smoke marijuana, for example, and that's one of the many rules of his confining workplace he will no longer abide




So it was about the drugs :up:




He's done.

Perfectly Ricky, right up until the end.

He's done running for money.

Now he runs free



talk about dramatization :rolleyes:

Hey just because the guy had hall of fame talent doesn't mean he should put down the crack pipe.

Oh yeah, it does. Nevermind.

It should read, he wants to smoke pot, eat junk food, drink 32 ounce fountain drinks, play video games, light farts, watch cartoons, recycle his sandles, hug trees, play bob marley songs on his guitar, collect beads, trade trinkets, stare at the moon in his ever increasing diminished mental capacity that makes him more easily amused, snort coke, drink beer, and maybe save water by showering only once a week.

I think Ricky was a classless ass for how late he decided to retire (especially considering that it was public knowledge about 2 weeks ago that George was probably going to get cut).

However, I do think it's one of the most intelligent things he has ever done. He's not been a stable person at all during his time in the NFL - so I can't imagine that the stress of being in his position was adding to his life. He's made more than enough money to enjoy the rest of his life and take care of any dependents ... so why not get out?
