Ricky Williams ..... Is A Miami Dolphin...

Looks like Ricky Williams and Bill Parcells have started things off on the right foot. And Parcells has already told Ricky that he's going to be Ronnie (Black Thunder) Brown's backup.

Williams said he felt he was the kind of hard-working player Parcells likes. But Williams worried his reputation for off-the-field problems had preceded him.

Instead, Williams said Parcells told him he’d share carries this season with Ronnie Brown.

“I was expecting him not to talk to me at all,” Williams told The Statesman. “I was expecting to get a letter in the mail saying I was going to be a free agent.

“I like (Parcells) more than I thought I would.”

This is good because Ricky is a solid football player as well as a fine purveyor of "Fuck Yea!" moments in recent Dolphins history. We were all very excited last season when he came back from his Canadian exile and was all set to make his triumphant return on Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But in keeping with the Dolphins' 2007 slogan, We Have Shit For Luck And It Shows!, a minute into the game some asshole stepped on his shoulder and ended his season.

So I for one am glad he's back and looking fit and focused. Ricky has had more than his share of "Fuck Yeah!" moments as a Miami Dolphin. Most memorable for me was in September of 2002, when he beat the Jets after busting through bodies like Godzilla through Tokyo and sprinting for a 53-yard TD that clinched the game for the Fins. I remember bolting from my couch right after that TD and yelling, "Fuck you! And fuck you! Get the hell outta my house!" to a couple of douchey-behaving Jets fans my buddy had invited to watch the game with us. They didn't get out only because we were actually in my friend's house. But those douchebags got the message: if this was my house, then they would definitely have to go. I get irrationally overzealous, incoherent and pretty much lose all cohesiveness when I watch Dolphins games. It's a gift.

So is Ricky -- entering the season at 31 years of age and as a backup -- going to give us more memories like this now that he's healthy with a clean slate? Fuck yeah he is! Jets fans better be on their guard because I'm gonna show up and verbally kick them out of other people's houses! They cannot stop me or Ricky with conventional doucheyness. Their doucheyness has no power over us! Their doucheyness only makes us stronger!!! Bring it on, I say!

So, yea, Ricky is looking strong.

Despite Ricky's douchebaggyness over the years, I still have a soft spot for the guy because A) he's got more raw talent on his left pinky than 51 of the 2007 53-man roster had combined and B) the dude's the Michael Jackson of football. He's a total weirdo.

Here's hoping I'll be able to catch him pummeling the Jets yet ANOTHER time live and in-person this September. I reeeeaaaallly want to see that.

In your defense, Dude, I am also not a very nice person to be around at any point during or after a Dolphins game - particularly if you are an opposing team's fan and we win.

I'm telling ya, if Ricky and Ronnie can both be and stay healthy, we're going to have a kickass backfield tandem that will rival pretty much any other team's in the league.

Bring it on indeed.
