Just when we thought that weed smokin', wedding dress wearing, fool of a running back was finally out of our lives, Ricky Williams has decided to compete with Britney in the category of "Unlikeliest of All Comebacks." The Paxil poppin former Saint will apparently seek reinstatement with the NFL after October 1st.
Perhaps we should take this opportunity to quote L.L. and scream 'Don't Call It a Comeback!', particularly since Williams is still officially under contract with the Miami Dolphins. He's been on suspension since April of 2006 when the league busted him for his fourth drug policy violation. (Perhaps he misunderstood the term "smoke the competition...")
The question remains, if he is reinstated, where will he play? There's a fat chance Miami will welcome him back with open arms. Current Dolphins GM Randy Mueller is the same dude who traded him off the Saints a few years back. (We owe you one Randy!) Still, there's gotta be some team out there desperate for a man who rushed for 3,000+ yards in 2 seasons with the Dolphins.
Before Williams is reinstated with the league, he must prove he's no longer intent to watch his career go "up in smoke." Once he's proven he's followed the NFL's drug policy, it'll be up to commissioner Roger Goodell to decide his fate.
So, what's Slick Rick been up to during his hiatus? A little Canadian Football league here, a little yoga instructing there, not to mention the occasional intense conversation with his imaginary pet goat Yule. According to the Associated Press, Williams' attorney refused to divulge exactly what his clients been up to since his suspension in April, or where he's been for that matter.
Stay tuned my friends. The Crazy Train may just be stopping at a town near you!

Man, I saw a Total Access interview with him a few months ago and I didn't even recognize him and his yoga self. Craziness.
