From the Sports I Bracket, it's the first round matchup of the NFL delinquents!
The Matchup:
Ricky Manning Jr.
Richard "Ricky" Manning, Jr. (born November 18, 1980 in Fresno, California) is a professional American football cornerback who plays for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. He formerly played for the Carolina Panthers. He is also known for his arrest record for violence. On April 23, 2006 Ricky Manning, Jr. attacked a man, Soroush Sabzi, in a Denny's restaurant after teasing him for working on a laptop computer. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly fighting a man and eventually pled no contest to felony assault. Manning faced up to four years in prison because of a previous assault charge in 2002, for which he received probation. Manning's previous 2002 assault charge resulted from a fight between Manning and bodybuilders Brian Herbert and Seth Spiker outside a Westwood bar. Originally charged with two counts of felony assault, Manning pled innocent to one count after the other was dropped.
VS
Ricky Williams
Errick Lynne Williams, Jr. (born May 21, 1977 in San Diego, California) is an American and Canadian football running back whose NFL rights are held by the Miami Dolphins, but is currently suspended by the league for using marijuana. As of October 1st, 2007 he has filed a letter with the league requesting reinstatement. Williams has admitted being very shy and was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, which he struggled to cope with during his football career. Williams was treated with therapy and medication. To alleviate his symptoms, he illegally smoked marijuana during the NFL football season and was consequently penalized. Williams was briefly a spokesperson for the drug Paxil as treatment. He worked with the drug company GlaxoSmithKline to educate the public about the disorder. Williams later quit Paxil saying the drug didn't agree with his diet. Williams is a qualified yoga instructor. He has stated that one of his main reasons for joining the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts is for the opportunity to teach free yoga lessons at a local Toronto yoga facility. Williams has five children. Ricky is a vegetarian, and a supporter of PETA.
Voting will be open for two days.
