BenchBledsoe Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Per KFFL, Nick Saban actually said (and with a straight face) that he does not believe that Ricky Williams has a drug problem. I wonder if Saban does not believe that 1)The Earth is round 2)Iraq has a terrorist problem 3)It snows once in a while in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'd agree with him. Ricky doesn't have a problem at all with drugs. Actually, he enjoys them quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'd hardly call smoking some grass a drug problem. Do you think that anybody who drinks beer, takes aspirin, drinks coffee or enjoys wine with dinner also has a "drug" problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I have no problem that Ricky smokes pot, nothing wrong with that in my opinion...his choice... But the way he's constantly letting his teammates and Dolphin fans (both of them) down has got to be damn annoying. Its clear he doesnt want to play football, he's just doing this for the cash...I'd let him go and wash my hands of him. Waaaaaaaay too unreliable.

Simon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 But the way he's constantly letting his teammates and Dolphin fans down has got to be damn annoying I'd think that just showing up and going through the motions for the money is what would constitute letting them down. It's obvious that he'd rather be doing something else than working his ass off and getting the snot knocked out of him for half the year, and I sort of give him credit for still showing up in shape, staying focused, working hard and playing tough football. He may be a little different, but that in itself doesn't make him a bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking weed or doing any kind of drugs is fine if thats what your into and can accept the consequences of your actions, but when it affects your job, your life, and others around you, then yes you have a drug problem. Ricky has been suspended a couple times already for drugs, so yes I would say he has a drug problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantankerous Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Just let him smoke weed, it's not a big deal. They need to lift that off the banned substance list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their love of smoking weed causes them to screw up their entire life and lose all their money, then yes they have a drug problem. Imagine his life with and without weed and try telling me it's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Some years ago, The new Dean of Students at my college came to visit our fraternity house. He asked if there was a drug problem on our campus. One of my brothers piped up: "Not a problem at all. You can pretty much get what you want." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
