After leaving the league on a "high" note, it looks like Ricky Williams is coming back for another round.
Upon being suspended for a fourth time for marijuna, Williams took his dope show up north to Canada. He had a mediocre season (526 yards on 109 carries), but considering the competition, I don't think anyone south of Toronto cared.
Apparently, Williams has taken up Eastern philosophy and has been teaching yoga in California for a few months now. According to his agent, Ricky's "interest in Eastern philosophy has overcome his desire for mind-altering substances."
Ummmm, sure.
Anyway, look for Williams' return to make barely more than a ripple this season. He's a few months older than Edgerrin James, a running back of similar style, who has clearly lost his Edge.
It's a shame that Williams traded several seasons in his prime and a place in the NFL history books for weed. Now that he's made an attempt to right the ship, it's probably too late. Best of luck to him in his new endeavors, though. May the force be with him... or something like that.
