Ricky Williams’s Drug Habit

by La Shawn on July 29, 2004

It’s a shame when a man can’t stay away from weed for millions of dollars. Sad indeed. To add to his woes, he has to deal with this:

Because of penalty clauses included when Williams’ contract was reworked two years ago, the team could try to recoup $5.3 million in incentive money, said sources familiar with the terms who requested anonymity. The Dolphins also could seek $3.3 million of the $8.8 million signing bonus Williams received when he joined the New Orleans Saints in 1999, the sources said.

I’m low maintenance. Give me an extra $10,000 a year (after taxes), and I’d become a vegetarian.

“I’m low-maintenance. Give me an extra $10,000 a year (after taxes), and I’d become a vegetarian.”

Nope. Gotta have my beef. And my pork. And turkey. Chicken.

As I somewhat anxiously await the impending “War on Obesity” which is following the “War on Tobacco”.

La Shawn, vegetarians have it all wrong.

You see, a cow, pig or chicken is simply a grass or grain delivery system, operating at a far higher effeciency and providing acres and bushels of what vegetarians crave, all in one simple, tasty serving.

LaShawn-
It’s hard to read your blog and not fall for you a little bit- the courageous and clear-thinking and beloved LaShawn. However, I must fondly gibe you about “low maintenance,” while fully admitting that I am only speculating, and could be completely wrong.

I believe you are low maintenance regarding what you ingest. But I’ve observed that you arrive everywhere very early, and you are fastidious about spelling and grammar, and I thus suspect you are a fastidious stickler in many areas of your life. Now, this can be a good thing!- and is- by a long shot, preferable to being slobby- and is also probably a big part of the secret of your success and your development as a person.

However, as a scratching, belching, sports watching, swing an axe and pound with a hammer Cro-Magnon man type of creature, I suspect your personal fastidiousness does not equate to “low maintenance.” It’s almost definitely a big plus in your favor, but I have my suspicions about the “low maintenance” part of the equation!

RFLOL, aw, you guys just won’t cut La Shawn any slack. Admit it La Shawn, your “lo-maintenance-ness” has been called :)

La Shawn 07.29.04 at 6:59 pm

I’m just one of the guys, guys!

LaShawn, you do realize that vegetarians are on very thin ice with the Republican Party. Sen. McCain almost got drummed out of the GOP for suggesting that the party open its doors to vegetarians.

(Me? I guess they haven’t caught me with my GardenBurgers yet.)

La Shawn, you may be a hale fellow well met, but you definitely are not “one of the guys” and I hope you never will be. You do just fine as a woman who gets it.

proof positive of the power of addiction. he’s doing what any good addict would do.. “who’s life is controlled by drugs.” i’ll certainly pray for the guy.

Well said William!

Ricky is such a smoked out loser. Now that he finds he has to pay back $8 plus million, suddenly he’s interested in returning to football. What’s the matter there, smoky, didn’t have quite enough green to even get you through a year without work? Maybe the pathetic loser should have pulled his head out of his *** long enough to make at least one rationale, or, failing that, mature decision in the offseason. Now he sounds like an immature, psychotic baby because he can’t have his toys like he envisioned in his dreamland. Wake up, you need green stuff to live off of, not just smoke, you retard.
