Losers of The Week

We have Michael Vick that manages to get in trouble every other week and now comes news about Ricky Williams.

The Miami Dolphins running back tested positive for marijuana in April and will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement to the NFL until September, sources said.

Williams was suspended last year for violating the substance abuse policy and was eligible to be reinstated this month, but the league's medical advisers who oversee Williams' personal rehabilitation program recently notified commissioner Roger Goodell of the positive test, sources said.

ESPN And Quinn In Bed Together

If you watched ESPN and Mel Kiper during the NFL draft, you saw them trying to increase hair challenged Brady Quinn's value. The only problem is that the GMs knew that Quinn was not a top prospect.

Dick Harmon of the Deseret Morning News had a great analysis of the situation. "As it turned out, in the eyes of NFL folks that counted, Cleveland and Miami both passed on Quinn, as did Detroit and Minnesota and 17 other "chance" picks in the first round. Then the Browns frantically traded to get a shot at Quinn for a far less value than Kiper had set him up for.

Perhaps a dose of reality?"

Don't Drink the Water

Running back Ricky Williams who was out for the entire 2006 NFL season because of a fourth violation of the NFL substance abuse policy, has triggered the process that could end his one-year suspension and lead to his reinstatement by the league.
Williams was suspended by the NFL last April 25 and spent last fall playing for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.
