Ricky to Argos?
By PERRY LEFKO, TORONTO SUN




The Argonauts are going to take a run at suspended NFL running back Ricky Williams.

The Argos added Williams to their negotitation list yesterday, a day after he was suspended for the 2006 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy for a fourth time.

All CFL teams have 35-player negotiation lists, which allows them to deal exclusively with players, even if they are under suspension.

:puke: Argos, figures they would go after potheads.

[Stewie]

oh please, he'd automatically become the best running back in CFL history.

[hammerbillsfan]

oh please, he'd automatically become the best running back in CFL history.

Just like Lawrence Phillips did. :shakeno:

[Mr. Pink]

Just like Lawrence Phillips did. :shakeno:


Difference being Ricky actually produced and produced well at the NFL level, unlike Phillips.

If Ricky is smart and allowed to do this by the Dolphins, he goes and plays for one year up in the great white north so he can stay in game shape for 2007.

[Stewie]

If he ever gets his head on straight, Ricky could play football for a long time as a team's second back. He doesn't have the wear he should have by 30. Damn, I feel old cause Ricky Williams will be 30 the next itme he plays in the NFL.

[ticatfan]

oh please, he'd automatically become the best running back in CFL history.Our field is alot longer,he would have to stop for a joint before he got to the other end.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Just like Lawrence Phillips did. :shakeno:
You are comparing apples to oranges sir. Lawrence Phillips never did anything in the NFL. Rickey Williams is a former rushing champ.

[Hamilton Billsfan]

I'm pretty sure this won't happen, I think I remember that the CFL has an agreement with the NFL over suspentions.

[Mitchy moo]

Our field is alot longer,he would have to stop for a joint before he got to the other end.

lol.

[Mr. Pink]

I'm pretty sure this won't happen, I think I remember that the CFL has an agreement with the NFL over suspentions.

Ricky if he wants to and is allowed by the Phins can play in the CFL there is no agreement in place. ESPNs been talking about it on every program this evening.

[!Papacrunk!]

pro--remain in game shape, especially against b-listers (no offense to CFL'ers)
con--wear and tear/injuries
push--weed issues used to be lax, but I hear that the "new guys" in Canadian government are starting to be tougher, not sure

[RedEyE]

He can get some good hydroponic based **** up there.

[!Papacrunk!]

He can get some good hydroponic based **** up there.

I need to get to Canada.

[Mr. Pink]

Question for the phin fans on the board....

Would you want Ricky to go play for the year up north and why?

[!Papacrunk!]

I didn't go into any detail, but I posted something up above. I'm indifferent, if he does he does, if not oh well. I don't really see it happening, I think Ricky will probably go back to holistic school and continue to find "his inner self."

[Stewie]

He cant smoke if he wants to play real football again. But if he can get that 8.5 million cleared from his balance sheet, he could be the king of canada and retire to hemp heaven.

[hammerbillsfan]

I doubt this will ever happen. :meh:

[Crisis]

He'd dominate the CFL.

[hammerbillsfan]

He'd lead the league in bong hits.

[Crisis]

The CFL is a joke. He'd probably hold every major rushing title by Week 4.

[Kerr]

Why keep bringing up his old habit? He's been clean.

[hammerbillsfan]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight and the NFL just suspended him for no reason.

[Kerr]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight and the NFL just suspended him for no reason.

Was it marijuana? no ,thank you.

[hammerbillsfan]

It didn't say it was or wasn't marijuana, he's still a ****ing druggie.

When did you start kissing Ricky's ass? Dolphin Lover

[Kerr]

It didn't say it was or wasn't marijuana, he's still a ****ing druggie.

When did you start kissing Ricky's ass? Dolphin Lover

It's been said it was a different type of herb that was strong enough to trigger a positive result, not the illegal substance. Innocent until proven guilty. Ever heard of that? He was getting tested frequently during the season and was clean, so he was a druggie.

Just because i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt means i'm a dolphins fan? Yeah, you can quit being a ******.

[hammerbillsfan]

Just because i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt

I guess you're smarter than the NFL then, huh? :rolleyes:

[Kerr]

I guess you're smarter than the NFL then, huh? :rolleyes:


No, but I guess you're not bright enough to understand what I just typed about herbs triggering a positive result.

:shakeno:

[hammerbillsfan]

So what, he's already had 3 strikes against him, why keep on giving him chances?

Will he ever learn? Do other people get so many breaks like he does?
Ban him from the league, he should have stay from anything remotely that would get him in trouble. Guess he's not bright enough to figure that out. :smoke:


Yeah, you can quit being a ******.

Did you keep on saying you wanted some people to die on this board? Hypocrite.

[hammerbillsfan]

Shouldn't he know this crap, do your homework Ricky!!!


Dr. Marc Halpern, http://www.ergogenics.org/images/zoekzelfmaar.gif (http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&client=pub-7117181179885591&domains=Ergogenics.org&q=%22Marc+Halpern%22) Williams' instructor and the president of the California College of Ayurveda, http://www.ergogenics.org/images/linkje.gif (http://www.ayurvedacollege.com/) said legal substances contained in herbs used by practitioners of holistic medicine, or natural healing, can show up positive on drug and steroid tests.

Williams has become a proponent of holistic medicine and ingests a variety of herbs he believes can help promote physical and mental well-being.

[ddaryl]

I guess you're smarter than the NFL then, huh? :rolleyes:

I think he is.

I also think Ricky is getting a raw deal here, and the NFL is just being a bully and flexing thier muscle.

From a personal stand point. I will, to the day I die, side with mj users, and the eventual decriminilzation and legalization of a natural growing plant for personal use.

My only ***** about Ricky Williams was that he quit the team after his original suspension. Other then that I see no reason to belittle the man, or even talk about him in a negative way. He likes to smoke pot, and I'm cool with that and I don't believe he or any orther player in any sport, or any person in an job should ever have to worry about mj EVER !

So now you're going with he's had too many chances? I thought your stance was that he was still a druggie? Funny how that works, huh?
Yes he's human, he ****ed up. I doubt he did it on purpose. The league's rule has a flaw if they're going to flag him for using an herb other than mj, which I don't agree with, but there's no gray area in the rule so it's final regardless.

Yes, it's true. I care not about some people on this board, so? It makes a hypocrite because?

[hammerbillsfan]

He likes to smoke pot, and I'm cool with that and I don't believe he or any orther player in any sport, or any person in an job should ever have to worry about mj EVER !

We would all like to play by our own rules but...

Thank you. I'm not for mj or against it. The nfl has been known to get back at players and coaches when comment or actions are made that belittle the league. Ricky leaving cost the league some money and the league got slapped in the face when he degraded their drug policy and so forth. The league forgives, but doesn't forget.

Anyway, you couldn't fault the guy last year. He kept clean and did his job. The fact that he tested positive was his him being careless. Next time he'll learn not to take that herb that triggered a positive result.

[hammerbillsfan]

I thought your stance was that he was still a druggie?

Hey we don't know, he could be lighting up right now for all I know. http://www.billsaddiction.com/images/smilies/fumeur7.gif

[Kerr]

I doubt it. It sounds like the guy's done a complete 180 since he broke into the league just based upon some of the stuff you read on him.

[hammerbillsfan]

Next time he'll learn not to take that herb that triggered a positive result.

Like olympic athletes who take cough medicine or some weak **** before there event and get busted for a positive result.

Or Jose Theodore:

[Kerr]

That's the first time i've heard of an athlete testing positive because they wanted to grow their hair long. There's always a first for everything.

[Billsrock4life]

haha figures

[ticatfan]

The only problem here is when the argos play thier 1st game in B.C, ricky may never leave.

[Stewie]

The NFL is the real hypocrite and the source of the problem.

It's not okay to toke up a joint to soothe the body after a game, but it's perfectly okay to beat your wife so often that you get arrested for it twice.

It's not okay to hit a bong and play video games in alpha stupor, but it's okay to abuse prescription pills if you're brett favre.

It's not okay to pass the peace pipe at a kegger in your back yard, but it's no problem for carmen policy to throw legendary parties at strip clubs and porno complexes. They never do drugs at those establishments.

But yeah, Ricky Williams is an idiot for wanting to smoke pot. It's not the pot-bellied hypocrites running around who like beer but look down on pot. Ricky can't afford to imbibe 3 or 4 beers at a time whenever he feels like it. That's a lot of extra calories to be burning off. Marijuana use is proven to slow your synapse response, but activity returns to normal after about 28 nonsmoking days, even for long term users. Alcohol is proven to kill brain cells at a rate directly proportional to volume ingested.

But it's pot that's evil.

Sorry, not even CFL.I just read the article and it did not say he could not play, he can if the phins say he can and also he said that players up here cannot make more then 150 grand ,that is also wrong. There are players making 400 grand up here.
