I did catch the last part while at lunch moments ago. The highlights were; He threw Wanny under the bus. He did not refer to DAve by name just said the coach before he retired or words to that effect. RW said his being the focal point of the offense caused him stress and the reason behind his struggles w/ MJ. Ricky did say playing through physical pain was stressful as well RW is reapplying to challenge himself physically as well mentally. The reinstatement process is like going before a parole board. Oddly, The commissioner is not heavily involved. It sounded IMO like Dan Patrick was having trouble with Ricky's state of mind. Keith O seems to think that Ricky has overcome and could be a great teammate & could even benefit the team to provide perspective on playing within yourself. RW doesn't need to be a Rah Rah guy or even the voice of the team... Thats what J Taylor and Porter are for IMO. Zach and Ricky could bring some balence to the team. RW sounded like he is very centered now and uses the spiritual side of yoga to overcome stress.
Is Rickey still contractually obligated to Miami? I woinder what the chances of seeing him in a non-A&O uniform
Ricky is still under contract to the phins. He hasn't talked to Cameron but says if the 'phins don't want him that there are other "opportunities" in the league. Ricky was very calm and seemed like he had been heavily influenced by... Eastern philosophy.

A few thoughts; Cam's system does alternate Tailbacks So RW may stay. It was Mueller who traded Ricky to Miami from NOLA. I've read Ted T & Randy M are friends so a deal is possible. No decision has been made on Ricky by the phins. The league's ruling on Ricky's reinstatement is expected the 26th of this month.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The Return of the Raider)</div><div class='quotemain'>Really? Ted Turner and Randy Moss are pals. Is Randy going into professional wrestling?</div> Did Ted Turner buy another wrestling company? BA's point was that Mueller and Thompson have a relationship that might prove condusive to working out trades between the clubs. I'm sure there are teams that have better trade relationships with other teams based on GMs abilites to work with one another. Did BA say that a deal WOULD get done just because they are buddies?
Shame on me for being lazy when typing post #6. No worries. Its all good. I guess implied context doesn't count. :einstein:
