Godspeed Ricky

I think it was pretty clear after drafting Lorenzo Booker (which I thought was a great move, by the way) that Ricky Williams would unlikely be returning to the Miami Dolphins.
Apparently Ricky has had a slight, but costly, mistep in his recovery and ongoing pursuit to be reinstated by the NFL.
"Due to the recent reports about me failing a drug test, I feel it is appropriate for me to issue this statement. Last month, following a psychological evaluation requested by the NFL, we -- the psychiatrist and I -- came to the realization that there were a few things I needed to iron out about myself in order to make my return to the NFL as successful as possible.
"I am an honest, God-fearing man who is intensely dedicated to being the best person I can be on and off the football field. There is no need to smear my name or to defame my character for the sake of news. When the time is right, God willing, I will be back on the field scoring touchdowns for whatever team is fortunate enough to believe in me."
"I appreciate all the support I have received from my fans and I assure all others that I am strong, clean, and happily preparing myself for a triumphant return to the NFL."
It is unfortunate the path this gifted players career and life has taken. Although he'll likely never play for the Dolphin's again, I sincerely wish Ricky the best.
