Back in the game

After a 6 month hiatus in Espana, what better way to get back to business than a little rant. Today on ESPN radio Joe Theismann called Ricky Williams 'disgrace to the game' of football and continued "I don't ever want to be mentioned in the same breath as Ricky Williams as a football player. He's a disgrace to the game. The man doesn't deserve to play football. He should go on with his life and treat his drug addictions or go do whatever he wants to do. He's been suspended from the National Football League on multiple occasions. Doesn't anybody have any class anywhere? For gosh sakes, let the kid go do what he wants to do. He doesn't want to play football." First of all who named Joe Theismann the ambassador of the NFL and who cares what he has to say. Since when is a guy who makes people want to gauge their eyes out during Sunday Night Football broadcasts (Monday Nights this fall) the authority of all things football. Theismann is a disgrace to the broadcast booth and should focus on improving that (as hopeless as it may seem) instead of going after Williams. And his Holier than thou attitude with the whole "treat his drug addictions" is absurd. Ricky smokes pot. Its really not that big a deal especially when compared to what other NFL players do. See the Vikings Sex Boat and Rae Carruth. Ricky's wanting to smoke weed has gotten in the way of a promising NFL career no question. But if he's found a place to play in the CFL and a team thats willing to give him another chance,he clearly does want to play football and who the hell is Joe Theismann to play judge and jury?
