Ricky Williams On Trial, Asks Judge For A Recess At 4:20
Today is a day of judgement for Ricky Williams.
His appeal is going before the NFL, an appeal against charges that he again violated the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Apparently, the last positive test that triggered this was last December, but apparently it may have not been marijuana that he tested positive for. In his appeal Williams contends that he ingested an "herb" that produced a red flag.
An "herb"? This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine eats the muffins with poppy seeds on them and tests positive for opium.
Unless he and his counsel can persuade the commissioner and Ricky is suspended for a year, he would be reinstated as a 30 year old running back who has played in only 12 games in the last 3 years.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like a bad end to what could have been a great career for Ricky, but he just couldn't get away from that Mary Jane or those darn "herbs".
On a related note, Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban doesn't think that Williams has a substance abuse problem, and said that they are going to be "very supportive of Ricky."
He is going to need all the support he can get at this point, and I'm not talking about a few quick hits off a blunt before his hearing.
