Interesting.....

If anyone is a Ricky Williams fan, I have about a half dozen autographed footballs, a couple of autographed baseballs, and an autographed authentic game used Louisville Slugger for sale. (actually the bat is the one thing I will probably keep).

I love the 30 for 30's. Pretty pumped for this one.

I suppose it was a better title than "Puff Ricky Puff" :sosp:

(though not necessarily more accurate)

I really liked this one. You never really know what's going on in someones head but after seeing this I really like Ricky as a person.

That was very well done and brutally honest. Seems like he is getting close to finding the happiness he has been searching for all these years.

My wife and I actually spent quite a bit of time with him while he played baseball in this area. My wife stayed friends with him years after that. He was always a bit different and you could tell he was lost at the time. Always had trouble trying to fit in. He didn't see color but always felt he had trouble fitting in with the "white crowd" or the "black crowd" and was very hesitant to let people close to him.

I remember a day or two before the draft he called and spoke with my wife about his anxiety with where he was going to wind up. He was worried that Philly might draft him and he was't sure he would be able to deal with playing there. Going to N.O might have been bad for him but I think Philly would have been much worse.
