Vudu Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I fell asleep before the end, but i guess he now has 4 kids then. One of the women was saying that she thinks she is his girlfriend, but she never sees him. Of course this was during his global "walkabout" and maybe there was an update. He did say that he didn't even think about his kids Thats the one he married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this yet. Anyways anyone see it? I thought it was awesome. Dolphins hate aside, I kinda have a new found respect for Ricky. He's on another planet, some of the stuff that came out of his mouth was wild. He just doesn't see things the way we see them. The thing that confuses me, is this. How in the world do you feel comfortable signing that guy and actually putting the football in his hands? The guys on another planet. Granted, he did way more than anyone expected out of him since he came back. I watched it last night. I always had a profound respect for Williams given that he showed that there was something that was bigger in his life than the fame/fortune. Very few have that quality and I always admired that. To see the show and get a deeper view on it made me respect him even more. Too bad he's a dolphin though....his biggest blemish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You are way off base on this. Cromartie has 7 or 8 kids and was behind on child support payments before the Jets advanced him $500K. I remember watching Ricky playing in the outfield for Batavia in Single A baseball (1998 maybe?) I have always liked the guy. You are way off base. I said nothing about child support payments, what I did say is that Cromartie actually does live with one of his children and has actually seen his children. Looks like Ricky is now seeing his kids, but he's still a d'bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua4ever04 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Haven't seen it yet but I can't wait to see his pathetic responses to why he left the game. I'm sure I will not come out with a "new found respect" for him like you did, probably a bigger, better, new found hatred. Just when I didn't think you could be any more of a douche. I'm sure much of the show went right over that big dumb head of yours, though. Why you would hate that guy, of all people, is ****ing beyond me.

Aqua4ever04 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 The film is exactly what i expected it to be....the guy is out there. To say things like "Money doesn't matter" (until your living in a card board box, hence his return to football) and asked if oyu ever think about your kids you havn't seen in years and your response is "No"...isn't the norm. Ricky was the Miami Dolphins when he played for us. He's been servicable upon his return but when he came back to football he lost the big body he was playing with when he won the rushing title and never got it back. I guess Wannstache is in part to blame for Ricky's downfall, no one has ever carried the ball more in a 2yr span than Ricky did....lots of abuse, but hey, thats your job. He came back to football because he loves playing. He could've called it good for a final time by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrien2Toon Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I actually liked him before watching this. But now, I think he's just a selfish P.O.S. who doesn't give a damn about anybody but himself. Says he doesn't miss his kids, who he wasn't taking care of. They try to make it seem like his childhood was horrible, because he had a strict mother. Then he trys to find a million different disorders, so he can sit around the house and smoke weed. Dude everyone would love to sit around watch tv and smoke, but thats not what life's about. You have to grow up. But I still do say that he is one of the toughest players I have ever seen. The dolfags tried to kill him there for a few years, and he just kept running.

The guy is a f-cking weed head and a nut job. You people watch this and see him as a "free spirit" with "lucid thoughts" I look @ him and see a f-cking loon that couldnt stay away from the happy grass so used that as an excuse to step away from his job responsibilities. A tent in Australia? Really? GTFOH-- he's a hippy that came back because he realized that he in fact needed $$$, contrary to what he thought initially.

Some people don't want to play football, it's really not that big of a deal. There are plenty other of professions I'd prefer over football. Money and fame doesn't matter to Ricky. It's really not that big of a deal, he earned the right to do whatever the **** he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is he back in the NFL if he in fact didnt want to play football? if $ & Fame didnt matter he wouldve stuck by his guns and stayed retired. Why isnt he a holistic Dr full time or an acupuncturist full time since he "doesnt like football". Stop being a homer, Ricky Williams has mental issues and belonged in a looney bin with the rest of the loons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he came back, I thought the right thing to do would be to let him keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashingjet Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Ricky's obviously a complicated person with some inner demons from his childhood. I think it took alot of balls to put this out for the whole world to see, so he gets alot of credit for that. For those that still bash Ricky as a "loony pothead" need to see the documentary and understand it, cause some of the replies here show that some people didn't pay attention. To the jets fans who took off the green glasses, watched and understood the documentary, thanks for your un-biased comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've read all about RW previously from several years ago in the Herald and Sun Sentinel...he's a space cadet. I don't care how he acheived the rank of space cadet, all I know is that he's earned that high rank without going to OCS (officer candidate school).

I am not interested on how he got there if that's what this doc is all about. My take.... The Documentary is about how Ricky continues to run away from what we see as the American Dream. Gives a better explanation of why he has different values than we do. Granted when the money ran out he came back. But I think a common misunderstanding is that he was sitting around stoned off his ass doing nothing. When he was actually studying how to become a natural healer through yoga and other stuff. I'm not saying he's this great guy or anything, he just not the selfish person the media painted him as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought he was selfish...from what I have gathered through the years, RW to me was someone who had a gift to play football, but his mind was just a little bit off the 50 yard line if you get my drift.
