Date Subject Jan. 24, 2006 Dan Marino for Never Winning a Super Bowl Sept. 12, 2006 Ricky Williams for Leaving Football Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: TonyB0D on January 19, 2006, 01:51:02 pm what is it?
Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: raptorsfan29 on January 19, 2006, 01:53:12 pm The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame... is a series that examines the athletes, coaches, front office personnel and even fans who over the years have been blamed for either a team's failure, their individual failure, a bad trade, a bad draft pick, or the demise of a franchise.
The shows begin by explaining why that individual or team has been blamed over the years and then it peels away the layers between fact and fiction and count down the Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame them. This fast-paced series is a mix of documentary storytelling and the entertaining elements that make countdown shows fun to watch This is what it says on there site It's on ESPN classic Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: jtex316 on January 19, 2006, 02:20:02 pm How can you NOT blame Ricky Williams? HE LEFT THE NFL AND BROKE HIS CONTRACT TO GO SMOKE POT. In fact it doesn't matter what he did afterwards - the BOTTOM LINE is that he broke his NFL contract. NO EXCUSE for that.
Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: raptorsfan29 on January 19, 2006, 02:33:23 pm if you watch the show, you'll find out
My guessing of the 5 reasons is 1) Coaching 2) Offensive line 3) the team was going nowhere 4) Lenny (whatever his last name is) 5) no clue Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: Thundergod on January 19, 2006, 02:55:27 pm Ricky
Dave Wannstedt 30+ carries a game Tired of football/politics of Pot Introvert Dan No defense No RB Buffalo Bills Jimmy Johnson Olivadotti (see also: defense) Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: CF DolFan on January 19, 2006, 06:36:08 pm Quote Ricky Williams 5) Desire to severely fukk over one of Sunstroke's FFL money teams  >:( This was one of the underlying facts that the public rarely gets a glimpse of! ;) Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on January 19, 2006, 06:42:06 pm Quote How can you NOT blame Ricky Williams?  HE LEFT THE NFL AND BROKE HIS CONTRACT TO GO SMOKE POT.  In fact it doesn't matter what he did afterwards - the BOTTOM LINE is that he broke his NFL contract.  NO EXCUSE for that. Joe, let me reiterate this again. Ricky did NOT leave to go smoke pot. Hell, he needed pot to ease the pain from the constant poundings his body was taking week in and week out!!! Ricky left because he did not want to play for Dave Wannstedt. He had 775 carries the past two seasons and was tired of it. He looked around, saw his team was no closer to the Super Bowl than it was when he came in 2002, saw his O-Line sucked, and saw that Wanny was gonna give him another 400 carries. That's when he decided, "The hell with it!! I'm not playing for this loser coach anymore!!!" I wish he would've come out and said that instead of handling it the way he did. Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: Dave Gray on January 19, 2006, 08:50:49 pm In the long term, I think Ricky's leaving actually helped the team. It solidified the choice to draft Ronnie Brown, ushered in an entire new coaching staff (including Houck, Linehan, and Saban), AND you got to keep Ricky Williams at a slave's wage, because we've got him by the balls financially.

I caught that show on ESPN42. The footage of a broken, downtrodden Sunstroke was quite compelling. The scene in which you looked at the camera, tears spilling from your eyes, and asked, "Why, Ricky?" had a kind of "jilted ex-girlfriend" quality to it but was touching nonetheless. ;D Title: Re: Ricky williams and Dan Marino Post by: Thundergod on January 20, 2006, 07:26:12 am Quote Joe, let me reiterate this again.

When did they play here. Those guys were all the starting running back at one point since Marino was in a Dolphins uniform. Needless to say, the only one who actually had some promise was Mark Higgs.

Plus, pot is cool. Way cooler than trying to run over d-line for hours on end. Don't know bout the yoga thing, but, different strokes I guess, I just listen to pink floyd and play mario kart. Yeah I'm a winner! |
