Poor Ricky (literally)

Arbitrator ruling upheld in Williams case

You know, I never could figure out why people were so pissed at Ricky Williams for wanting to retire when he did. I mean, he is (or should have been) a millionaire, he's in the prime of his life, still healthy not having gone through ten or fifteen years of the rigors of the NFL. Who could blame him for not wanting to get his knees and hips shredded, replaced and arthritic before he was fifty?

On the other hand, I think it is perfectly right that he have to pay back the money the Dolphins paid him to be their running back for the length of their contract. That should be common sense.
