i read an article saying how his abrupt retirement just shows the same selfish behavior he showed for years. The sports writer spent the whole article talking about all the negativity that Ricky had in his career. The most of it dealt with him smoking weed. Oh my god no how terrible...there is guys in every league that shoot up all type of shit. Way worse than weed (not condoning it though). Ricky is a intravert, he never liked the spotlight, never really like talking to the media. I believe he love the game of football, but not the politics and corruption that might be invovled in the NFL..People can say Oh he is crazy to pass up that kind of money, but how much is your piece of mind worth. Yes he is a talented football player and his talent will be going to waste for the next few years but he is a man first. If he is no longer happy playing the game I think he owes it to himself and noone else to bow out. I hope he continues to be happy with his decision and find something that fufills his life just as football once did
