The footage was a little fuzzy but this vid is awesome because of the crowd. He passed the record by taking one 50 to the house and the crowds reaction was awesome..brought a tear to my eye. I know he made a lot of mistakes after college but we all do. This guy will always and forever be one of my childhood heroes. Run Ricky Run!! HOOK"EM!!!!!!
Ricky is awesome. I'm an Eagles fan and I'm personally GLAD they didn't draft him because they wouldn't have gotten McNabb, however thanks to Rickey I got to see my fellow fans look like assholes at the 99 draft which is hilarious btw. But yeah I think he's one of the best specimens ever at RB and am glad he's still playing despite his age. VERY productive player, deserves to win a Superbowl.
leave the pot out of this folks....wasted argument....majority drink an even worse drug on a regular basis called alcohol. now lets not turn this into a political debate. the man quit in the middle of his prime. he was having issues...some people handle them differently than others...i personally think he would have reached walter peyton's and emmit's record without a doubt.....props to the man...he's turned it all around and i'm proud of him
With Ronnie Brown and Ricky splitting time, this gives Ricky the opportunity to extend his NFL career and not suffer the constant hit and wear that Earl Campbell suffered.
saying he's a "selfish, immature pot head" isn't factual, it's subjective. take the shaft outta your ass dude. yeah, he smoked a plant but at least he didnt shoot himself in the leg, run a dogfighting ring, or drive drunk and kill a pedestrian.
i hate that everyone says ricky did drugs... he smoked joints.. who gives a sh#t.. its not preformance enhancing, if anything it would make him alittle bit hungry. he is my all time favorite, and the fact he smoked joints like regular people and wasnt doing cocaine or something makes him even more likeable to the average joe........ just my opinion
are you kidding me? he deserves every yard he worked for! so what if the guy had personal issues, that's life, he's still one of the best college running backs to ever step foot on the field
and your point? that record was a "college" record... do you think ron dayne doesn't deserve all those yards he gained in college just because he didn't do as well in the nfl?
well he's really not doing that bad now, but yeah it is a shame, he used to my favorite player on the dolphins (I'm a dolfan), and I remember my mom waking me up and telling me the news one summer that he retired and yeah needless to say I was bummed out, angered, shocked, all of the above...it was a waste but I mean hey people have to realize he's still a person like you and I, sh*t happens...not everyone is perfect, and it is tempting to go to bad habits after a stressful day in the NFL
not everyone can handle the pressure of being a starting rb in the nfl. ricky has always been a quiet guy. he probably smoked cause the media and fame was driving him crazy. i think you can eat your words now since he made his comeback and is now playing at top level again.
he has 4.2 yards per carry. that's a higher average than when he was with the saints. he has a 7.4 yards per catch average, and he is splitting the ball with ronnie brown, who is the dolphin's official starter. you obviously have some personal issues with the guy, so hate all you want.
he's in his 30s now. he had 2 great seasons with the dolphins which he will never come close to again. my main point was that he's splitting the load with ronnie so theres no way he will get numbers like that again, but he's still doing great. i think he's been smoking since college, probably high school. its not like he's taking steroids.. if anything he should be given a head start. give the guy props for making a comeback. i dont want to argue with you anymore.
Yea, this is from a year ago, but seriously? It was a drug, a plant. By those standards everyone is a drug addict simply by drinking alcohol, which is deadlier. I just hate how people can say Ricky is a bad person for smoking weed when as I know you've seen, people can do a lot worse. If he was snorting or shooting up that's one thing, but all he did was do his job and relax after getting the crap beat out of him by NFL defenses.
Good ol' days? Do you remember 4-7? I do, but now 10 or so years later...your right those were good ol' days. I would take watching another Ricky or VY over "knock out Cold" McCoy...
I like the emmy awards or whatever it was called, Host," Apparently Ricky Williams was caught smoking marijuana again... You know at this point they should be checking marijuana for Ricky Williams."
yards dont always tell a story... we all know half the guys in the NFL top 10 are better than emitt smith... hell emmitt might not event be the 1st or 2nd best RB to play in dallas.. with that said.. TONY D is the GREATEST COLLEGE RB OF ALL-TIME
tony has a heisman and a national championship.. pitt was nothing when he came to pitt. HE MADE PITT into a powerhouse...thats the stuff legends are made of. ricky was great but tony is a legend.
barry sanders was a special player and was the best for one season... but its the body of work. its a little easier thou when u have thurman thomas in ur backfield. its not the amount of yard..if you go by that ron dayne is the greatest. its the way tony did it! walter payton is way better than emmit smith...see what i mean?
Ricky Williams being better than Tony Dorsett is like saying an amature boxer is better than a pro. Tony made his mark on the NFL with records and Super Bowl victories. Ricky made Pro Bowls only. Who remembers that crap?
You're a moron! Dorsett was all flash. Ricky has power and flash. Ricky is far better and even Dorsett agreed that he was that weekend when Ricky broke the record
He broke the NCAA Career Rushing record (previously held by Tony Dorrsett ... you can hear Wally Prior announce it over the P.A. system at the end of this clip).
do you know for certain his career is over. last i heard he completed a season playing in canada while still being drug tested by the nfl and completed the terms of suspension. he should be clear to return to the nfl for 2007 kickoff
no im serious he has 2 wait till around september or somethin like that for another chance at re enstatement and seeing as how thurman just got denied by commishoner goodell the chances arent lookin bright for ricky
dude if Ricky does come back i really dont think he's going to be back with the Dolphins. Besides, I hear the Rams are showing him some interest and Ricky likeiwse
He has passed all the drugtests and reportedly is in really good shape, they have no depth in the backfield and he still is a very good runningback. Go dolphins!
yea i was there....behind closest endzone in faggie section

Listen, if he had a good career in the nfl or even the cfl i wouldnt say anything.
its a shame.
he let drugz get in his life and it ruined his career. Like you said in the reply before he has personal issues.
Think about it. Personal issues RULE THE NFL!

he has 4.2 yards per carry. that's a higher average than when he was with the saints. he has a 7.4 yards per catch average, and he is splitting the ball with ronnie brown, who is the dolphin's official starter. you obviously have some personal issues with the guy, so hate all you want.
B3T0516 3 years ago
ok?
your comparing his rookie season with his what 8th?
are u kidding me?
so what he averages more now than he has in his rookie year? ur acting like his rookie year was the prime of his career...
and when did i say i hate ricky?
he used to be one of my all time faves..
but since he took drugs i changed my mind about him
