Ricky Williams to the CFL?

If Ricky wants to have a fun time in the CFL he needs to play in BC not Toronto.

The hippie lettuce is easy to obtain here and the police don't really care if you blaze. Also the CFL doesn't have a drug testing policy.

Considering this is the last year of not having the cap enforced, the Argos would be smart to offer him a huge one year deal. Somewhere around the $250,000-$400,000 range. I believe he would sell season tickets.

Yeah I think he should go play. Although there's the chance of him getting hurt but at least he'll stay in football shape and it won't be as bad if he just sat out a whole year.

If there's one coach in the CFL that could handle Williams, it's the Pinball. I think that Pinball would be a great influence for him but I doubt he ever plays here.

I doubt it too, but you're right, Pinball has the kind of personality and charisma that no other coach in pro sports has. It would be better for Williams career than just missing another season, if he actually wants to continue his career at this point or just get high every day.

Handle Williams? This is another example of people just thinking he's a thug. Give it up.

Ricky Williams is an extremely hard working football player in practice, during the games, etc. He talks to the media well and works hard at his craft during the season. His problems with football were NEVER with coaches or players or for lack of work ethic on the football field.

There is not a coach who couldn't "handle" Ricky Williams.

You read me wrong. What I mean by "handling" Ricky Williams is that Pinball would be a great coach to get him to work out his problems with weed and whatnot. Yes, it's not a hardcore addicting drug but it's something that's taking his career away from him. Pinball's done a great job with malcontent types and others who've had problems whether it be on the field or off.

So what i'm trying to say is that Pinball Clemons would be a great motivator and someone who can help Ricky out while not being overly harsh and judgemental about him.
