Okay, I used to like Ricky Williams, but I'm beginning to think this guy is off his rocker. First he retires from the NFL to avoid a suspension for substance abuse. Now he decides to return to the Miami Dolphins. I knowRicky has been really open about his social anxiety disorder in the past, but come on, illegal drugs are no way to deal with your medical conditions. And now Ricky is studying holistic medicine? What? LOL!

What do you guys think about Ricky's return? Cedric Benson, Texas' current running back, reminds me a lot of Ricky, substance abuse problems and all.

"Williams to serve four-game suspension beginning with Game 13

NEW YORK - Ricky Williams will serve a four-game suspension beginning next month, then will be reinstated to the Miami Dolphins by the NFL, according to his lawyer .
But the league says no agreement has been finalized.

"I am pleased with the National Football League's proposal," attorney David Cornwell said Tuesday. "I think Ricky will be pleased, too."

Williams must approve the deal, which would move him from the retired list to the suspended list for the final four games of the schedule. The running back is required to serve a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

After that, his contract with the Dolphins would be in force.

"Anything regarding Ricky's status is a league matter," Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene said.

"No agreement has been reached at this time," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, adding the league and Williams' representatives have been in discussions "for some time."

Williams, 27, retired during the summer, giving up the $5 million he would have earned this season, which would have been his sixth in the NFL, amid reports he faced the suspension for substance abuse. Williams is now about a month into a 17-month course at the California College of Ayurveda in Grass Valley, Calif., studying holistic medicine. "

Well, I always had stoner friends in HS that swore they could get high off of perfectly legal things (by smoking things such as sage). Seems like a logical thing for Williams to pursue.
