Ricky Williams Retires; Ewing Theory invoked?
With the Dolphins’ Ricky Williams going the way of Jim Brown and Barry Sanders, are we ripe for a perfect Ewing Theory scenario? In case you're unfamiliar with the Ewing Theory, it is one of the more prominent forces of sports reality. Go HERE to educate yourself. Williams has been praised ad nauseum since college. Yes, he did win the Heisman, but that’s no great feat in this day and age. His team never really won anything significant, and then when he got to the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Senator Ditka made Ernie Acorsi’s Eli Manning trade look feeble in comparison, swapping something like 4 first round picks to nab the tinted wonder. He was always right on the verge of doing something in New Orleans, yet ultimately broke fantasy football owners’ hearts by never reaching his potential. Then he is traded for Miami for MORE first round picks, and the Dolphins, a playoff team a year prior, are suddenly Superbowl favorites, now that Dave Wandstedt and Norv Turner had their missing cog. In Miami, Williams once again did reasonably well, winning a rushing title and running for more than 3000 yards in his two seasons there, but the Fins never even make the playoffs. Now Williams is running around Asia somewhere, and the Fins are left for dead. And yet…they still have a dominant defense, 50% of the time they have the good Jay Fiedler (as opposed to the evil Jay Fiedler), they’ve brought in David Boston who is reunited with his WR coach, they’ve still got Chris Chambers, and coach Wandstedt is against the wall, the classic case where a coach reaches at every last straw to save his job. Will the supernatural forces of the Ewing Theory propel the Dolphins to an inconceivable playoff spot come December???

Andy, Educate this. The Dolphins are going to suck. They are still have to face the Pats twice a year.[ They still have to lose in the Buffalo snow. They still will find a way to let the Jets make huge comebacks int he 4th quarter. No Ewing theory!
BUFFALO IS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!
I hope that the Fins are decent, then Andy can stop bouncing around from team to team and pick a favorite. Oh yeah, since the Eggles will be good, I guess he can always go with them.
I'm loving the Ricky Williams deal. I scored cause I was supposed to lose him this year from my f-ball roster.
mmuuuuuhahahahahahahah
