Ricky Williams

[german]

I was just reading from Foxsports.com that Ricky Williams had six yards off nine carries. I am just curious to see what people think of this - personally this is probably doing more harm then good.

It seemed that he was committed to stop using drugs and get his head right this off season; wouldn't of it been better to take the season off and keep fit working out at home rather then putting his body through a season of knocks and getting nothing for it - that alone can't be good on a mental level.

Anyway what are some thoughts.

As a fellow sufferer from social anxiety disorder, I actually feel sorry for the guy (except for when he was running roughshod over the Bills' defense while with the Dolphins). I was not at all surprised when he eventually turned to marijuana and out-of-the-mainstream stuff. The pressure and internal conflicts that must have resulted from his early success and all the celebrity and other B.S. that goes along with it had to have been killers for someone like him. Then mix in the medication he was taking for social anxiety with the drugs that he, and I know, chose to take, and it had to have messed up his mind even more. I'm not asking you to cry for him or me, but I wish there were more understanding of how freaking hard it is for people with our condition just to function normally, let alone be a sports mega-star continuously in the public eye.
