Ricky don't lose that number

Now that the NFL has re-instated habitual pothead Ricky Williams -- again -- the Dolphins would be wise to get him ready to play in a hurry. Sure Williams is always a risk of breaking out the bong and loading it up with hippie lettuce, but the Dolphins are no position to be picky. They've got nothing to lose at this point. Jessie Chatman has done a nice job replacing injured Ronnie Brown, but Williams could add something to the Dolphins' backfield. That's assuming he has anything left. Slick Rick has been out of football for 1 1/2 years. Does he still have the speed and power that made him one of the NFL's premier backs? The earliest Ricky can be activated is the Dolphins' Nov. 26 Monday night game against Pittsburgh. Should the Dolphins bring Williams back? What do you think?

Williams has burned the Dolphins one too many times. Cameron is attempting the same trick Nick Saban couldn't accomplish: turning Williams into a valuable trade commodity. They won't need him next year after Ronnie Brown comes back, but a handful of teams with unsettled backfields could use him next year. Houston, Oakland, Carolina, Tampa Bay, and Chicago come immediately to mind. The market would be limited, but they could probably find a taker if he's productive this season, even splitting time with Chatman.

I have a better question - who cares???

Cam Cameron is emerging as a hero of mine. Not only is he leading a team toward my dream of an 0-16 season, the team he's leading is the hated Dolphins!!!

It doesn't get much better than this!

hippy lettuce??? clearly allen knows the slang....much more hip than I!
