"Falling off the wagon is part of rehab."

Wasn't that in the Sopranos last week?

[theAPAOps5]

I just saw that. Jebus Ricky, just pass on grass.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

"Falling off the wagon is part of rehab," a source said.

ROFL!

I just saw that. Jebus Ricky, just pass on grass.Why, he hasn't wanted to play football for years so it doesn't really matter.

[theAPAOps5]

That made me laugh. I didn't know "Falling off the wagon" was an actual medical term.

[Hotrod]

Bwahahahaha damn

[theAPAOps5]

Why, he hasn't wanted to play football for years so it doesn't really matter.

True but then he shouldn't try to play then and just leave the program and pay his bonus back. Its simple enough, except for he probably spent most of the bonus.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

True but then he shouldn't try to play then and just leave the program and pay his bonus back. Its simple enough, except for he probably spent most of the bonus.Yeah, that's the only reason he has been around the game at all.

[Smiling Assassin27]

just put the guy out of his misery and give him the dexter manley sentence. don't give him another chance to let down his teammates by using again.

[Arkansas Bronco]

I knew he couldnt play in Canada and not smoke. I mean that is like dropping off a wolf in the middle of a sheep heard.

[Dagmar]

It's just weed. Who cares?

[Hotrod]

It's just weed. Who cares?

The NFL

[bronco militia]

It's just weed. Who cares?

hey, someone wants to give millions of dollars...all you have to do is use your god given talent and stay away from ILLEGAL DRUGS.

I don't care either, but damn

[Dr. Broncenstein]

Dear Ricky,

Grow up and do coke like an adult.

Your pal,

Doc. B.

LOL

[footstepsfrom#27]

Remember, he's been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder -- that's a real disease and a good percentage of those folks self-medicate with substances like marijuana, often at the moment they are about to have a high level of social interaction."
Hilarious!

Ricky would be better off on the weed than his Paxil. :~ohyah!:

[cutthemdown]

This dude is done in the NFL. Why does he even pretend he is trying to stop.

I don't know about the Sopranos but it's the exact same highly technical explanation given for the drunken video of David Hasselhof last week. When his daughter filmed him so wasted he didn't even know who he was.

[Old Dude]

Wow. Never saw this coming.

[BroncsRule]

I didn't realize Ricky has Social Anxiety Disorder. What is that? Is that what we used to call "really shy"?

[footstepsfrom#27]

It's a bogus mental disorder meant to help pharmaceutical companies market drugs...but you got the gist of it.

[DeuceOfClub]

Maybe we should sign him as a coach and rookies' mentor?

[DomCasual]

If he smokes pot, how long is it before he commits mass murder? It's a slippery slope, man!

[theAPAOps5]

Hey pot is a gateway drug it could lead to use of other things, like shrooms. As for the social anxiety disorder whether you believe in that stuff or not its no excuse. Thats like people saying the murdered someone while they were having night terrors. Its just bogus you smoke pot because you want to not because you want to be outgoing.

[Hotrod]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Los Broncos]

Sign him to our d-line.

[Garcia Bronco]

Weed is good for you. Embrace it. Quit putting people down for it.

But...pot will slow down autonomic reflexes and help keep you calm.

As far sa social anx...anyone got a copy of the DSMIV?

[theAPAOps5]

I am all for pot being legal. But its not and the NFL has it as a banned substance. If Sticky Icky Ricky wants to play he has to abide by the rules of his association. This just shows he could care less about playing football and should just stop and find a way to pay back the money.

[Hotrod]

I bet Ditka would love to sue this guy for "lost wages" Ha!

[Bronco_Beerslug]

It's a bogus mental disorder meant to help pharmaceutical companies market drugs...but you got the gist of it.Social Anxiety Disorder isn't a "bogus mental disorder". Social disorders (anxiety) are as real as any disease, disorder or phobia can be but I'm sure we're about to get 3 page essay on why it is.

[footstepsfrom#27]

Nope...I'm perfectly happy to let you believe that.

I don't have a problem with social anxiety disorder. But c'mon, what the hell events with a high level of social interaction is Ricky attending?

Maybe he had to get his dreds done...

The Hasselhoff video proves weed is safer than booze. Nobody with a buzz has ever had any trouble polishing off a cheeseburger.

[Clockwork Orange]

Maybe he had to get his dreds done...

Or maybe freakin' at the freakers ball. ;D

[DomCasual]

In all seriousness, I feel legitimately bad for the guy. There will be a day, not all that far in the future, where he will feel horrible for having pissed away an opportunity almost no one gets. I am still in my 30's, so I don't get too many chances to say this - yet. But youth is definitely wasted on the young.

But c'mon, what the hell events with a high level of social interaction is Ricky attending?For a lot of people with this disease, any kind of social interaction can bring on various panic disorders. But there are other medications available that will help them deal with their disease.

I doubt it. Between college and the pros, he's had over 3000 carries. He also had the misfortune of playing for complete imbeciles in Ditka and Whatsdat. I think he'll walk away with surprisingly few regrets, except regarding his financial situation.

It's almost like there's a Baywatch Curse, or something.

That's exactly what I'm referring to. When he's 40 and his electricity gets turned off for the fourth month in a row, he's going to wish he had managed his career/earnings a little better. When you're in your 20's, when he made a lot of his irreversible decisions, you probably don't get that seven-figure jobs don't come along very often.

[Atlas]

HAHA gateway drug Hilarious! Cigs and alcohol are bigger gateway drugs.

I hope you know that was total sarcasm.

He gets a nice pension from the NFL having played 6 seasons.

[maven]

Also, he hasn't paid the Dolphins the SB money. The Dolphins haven't insisted on getting it back as of now.

[watermock]

Social Anxiety Disorder? For the past 20 years, on the rare occasions I toke up, I GET Social Anxiety Disorder...and I was a classic pothead when young. Now I just get incredibly paranoid.

[watermock]

It's not pot itself that is a gateway drug, it's that many dealers have other "treats" handy.

[REB]

Well I'd say Ricky can probably kiss the NFL goodbye and the Dolphins can kiss their 8 mill or whatever it is goodbye.

[Los Broncos]

A good friend of mine is a big drunk. Hes impossible to be around when hes drunk. Being around people who smoke out is was more plesent.

[ol number 7]

The Hasselhoff video proves weed is safer than booze. Nobody with a buzz has ever had any trouble polishing off a cheeseburger.

Ricky just has some bad "POT LUCK". Hang out with "TuPac"man Jones. Him and Tank got the hookup for this season.

Goodell ain't to good to a dope smokin brotha. He comes down harder than Chinese algebra man. The commish got some brass balls is all I be sayin.:spit:

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Well I'd say Ricky can probably kiss the NFL goodbye and the Dolphins can kiss their 8 mill or whatever it is goodbye.Dolphins can probably attach his pension if they want to. 8 million is a lot change not to go after.

I believe their payout structure is currently $467.50 per month per credited season @ age 55.

You may be right.

He should run for congress they have way better benifits. Name Recognition in like Alaska or something he could win.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Freaking hilarious!!! They just played the April 6th tape of the Dan Patrick show.

Dan: Last time you were tested?

Walkabout: (giggles) about 2 minutes ago.

Dan: Are you going to pass it?

Walkabout: Yeah

Dan: Last time you got high?

Walkabout: Uh, about 3 years ago.

[Kaylore]

This thread is hilarious.:thumbsup:

[maher_tyler]

Wow. Never saw this coming.

I was thinking the same thing...how is this shocking?!

When you're in your 20's, when he made a lot of his irreversible decisions, you probably don't get that seven-figure jobs don't come along very often.

Look, if you're going to piss away all your money to the point where your electricity gets turned off at 40, it probably wouldn't have mattered how much you earned in your 20s. What brings down most of these fools is delinquent child support payments. Trust me, none of these guys are signing autographs at the mall because they like it.

[TomServo]

i truly think rickys problem is that-like many 'mane members-his attitude is, "its only pot". but unlike them, he's tested for his use and his employment depends on him not smoking it.
for some people it is a problem. if a person cant give it up for a few years for the privilage(sp) of making millions and playing in the nfl. i think that person has a problem with that drug.

[uk bronco]

why is pot such a big deal to the NFL its not perfomance enhancing if anything it'll lower his lung capacity and make him less fit. Cant wait too laugh at my buddy who is a huge fins fan and always wears his williams shirt and has been going on and on about how good he'll be this year

"Weed is from the earth. God put this here for me and for you. Take advantage, man...take advantage."

[Dr. Broncenstein]

God please make weed legal... so potheads will STFU.

[bendog]

I blame pot and John Lennon for all the vodka I drink.

With Ricky though, I don't get it. I mean he wouldn't have to work too hard to convince the NFL that he has a medical need for "happy pills," and I'm sure he can find a shrink to prescribe them.
