To be honest, I don't follow sports. And I wouldn't know anything about Ricky Williams, except for the fact that he made national headlines when he announced his early retirement from the NFL... from Hawaii. The islands were just one stop on what seemed like a totally spontaneous, random, globe-spanning sightseeing trip. The guy quit the high-pressure sports rat race, despite losing promised millions, and seems committed now to just enjoying life.
His sudden drop out has caused many to connect the dots to his problems with drugs - marijuana, specifically - but a few see his decision as one that's not that strange when you consider some of the personalities, and some of the expectations, that come with the world of professional sports.
But what do I know. NFL, NBA, NASCAR, it's all the same to me. (Well, I'm not that bad.) Any hardcore sports fans have an opinion on Williams' great escape?
