I don't see what he said that's so wrong:He's absolutely right. Rasta Ricky is a disgrace and an embarassment. If weed isn't addictive at all, then he's even more stupid and disgraceful. All he had to do was not smoke pot and he couldn't do it. He put smoking pot above his teammates, his career, the organization and the fans. I love chocolate, but if I were playing in the NFL and they had a no chocolate rule, I'd stop eating chocolate until after I was done playing.
He still left me in the dark as to whether or not water is wet.Who are the people he's trying to convince? I think this opinion is shared by most already, he's just piling on with comments like "I don't ever want to be mentioned in the same breath as Ricky Williams as a football player. He's a disgrace to the game."
I don't see what he said that's so wrong:
I don't think it was ever released exactly what caused him to fail the drug test. All we know is that he failed it. Besides, what difference does it make what drug he was using, a guy with a history and suspensions should be super above board. And when that same guy ruined his team's season by "retiring" before a drug test could be reported, after the draft and after all the solid FA RB's were off the market, he should be extra super careful and go above what is required during the offseason.Bottom line is that I was against Miami taking him back after the way Ricky handled his initial "retirement" If they take him back again after all this, well, then the Dolphins deserve whatever happens.Maybe I'm confused but didn't Ricky's most recent offense not involve marijuana and also didn't it happen before he "rejoined" the Dolphins? What's Theisman whining about exactly?
** See Rush LimbaughThis from the guy who was screwing around with Kathy Lee Crosby while married to his first wife.
*** See Dr. Laura Schlesinger 
That's damn funny.
Any activity can be addictive. You seem to be fixated solely on physical addiction and, while perhaps overstated with marijuana your body can develop a form of dependency on it. Anyway, Ricky has two options here: either he's addicted or he's too stupid and undisciplined to hold himself together even for millions of dollars in a sport he worked all his life to excel at. Not pretty either way.
He's just piling on - Totally agree. I think hes a terrible announcer, he states the obvious, much like many people in corporate america today. Instead of providing more value, he reiterates what we already know. His comments although correct in that Ricky screwed up, were overboard and uncalled for. We have heard this same line of _____ for weeks. He should stick to discussing Norman Einstein, the genius.He still left me in the dark as to whether or not water is wet.Who are the people he's trying to convince?

I don't see what he said that's so wrong:
I think that dill-hole Theismann meant to say that playing pro football is not a right, as "rite of passage" makes absolutely no sense. This is typical of a stupid person insecure about himself and the thought that other people might find out that he really is stupid, like someone who would change the pronunciation of their surname to rhyme with "Heisman" when they were in college.

What makes me cringe is that we will all have to listen to this #### call MNF games this season. I just got over the ....
Yep, distributing coke out of some apartment near Notre Dame.He also deserted his wife for Cathy Lee Crosby.
I don't know, Ricky hasn't killed anyone in a drunk driving accident ( Leonard Little) or killed his wife and unborn child like Rae Carruth, or beat his wife/girlfriend(s) like Lawrence Phillips or Michael Pittman, or been caught with pounds and pounds of marijuana in his car like Nate Newton, or brought a guy to a SB city who committed a murder like Ray-Ray Lewis, Ricky hasn't been convicted of drug traffic like Bam Morris , hasn't served hard time like Bam Morris, hasn't committed crimes like NY Sack Exchange member Mark Gastineau, isn't serving a lengthy prison sentence like Dexter Manley after numerous NFL suspensions, isn't serving a 15-20 year sentence like Cecil Collins from the Dolphins who got caught burglarizing a home a few years ago...the list goes on and on...Ricky only wants to play to pay off the money he owes the Dolphins..
Maybe if Ricky was threatening to sue, or some such nonsense, I'd be fine with Theismann saying that. But Ricky is being very chill, sucking it up, and playing for relative peanuts in Toronto.
Maybe if Theismann's own son hadn't been caught with coke, I'd be fine with these comments. The source does need to be considered, IMO. Theismann doesn't get the moral high ground too often.
Maybe if the Dolphins were hanging him out to dry, I'd buy Joe's assesment. But they have stood behind him throughout this latest suspension, and if he had tested positive for weed, I have to believe they woulda dropped him like a bag of dirt. Their support of him speaks volumes to me. BTW, everyone still talking about weed is talking directly out of their ###. There's not one comment, rumor, or proof that Ricky tested positive for weed on this latest violation. THere's a lot of things that can cause a positive test. The wrong supplement, etc.
I know that sounds like excuses for Ricky, but it's more that I think Theismann is a donkey.
Honestly, at the end of the day, he's one guy, playing football, and it's his career. Anything Ricky has done negatively, has hurt himself more than anything. He left the Fins hanging 2 years ago. Form a fan standpoint, unforgivable, no doubt. Fins fans want to hate him for that, I'm right there with you.
But all this venom for a guy who has made bad choices that hurt himself. This isn't Leonard Little ya know? He ruined his life? What? Isn't that a little melodramatic? Football isn't as important to him as others. Big deal. Same with Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, and probably hundreds of others.
As to it being an insult to the other players--gimmee a break. I've known too many pro athletes to buy that load of crap.
IN keeping with the line of thinking, I truly hope that Joe T spends 15 minutes of MNF time to expound on the classlessness of Jamal Lewis who served time in prison for trying to facilitate a drug deal.The list of football players questionable activities is long and Joe is a boob. The only reason that the good ole days are the good ole days is because players back then didn't face the media scrutiny they do now. This isn't an excuse for the actions of present players, it just means that a lot of crap that happened in Joey T's day never made it to public knowledge.
The only thing Joe should have mentioned that he didn't, is how much of an embarrasment the Phins are.....everything they have done with Ricky makes them a joke.Ricky didn't earn that money, end of story. He's a worthless dope addict and getting what he deserves.
Edit to add that JoeT still sucks.
LT should have snapped his jaw instead...

Thanks fatness. That's classic.I usually defend Theissman as broadcasting is harder than it seems but what he said recently was indefensible I think.
The CFL was smart to allow Williams to play, because he will bring more press to the league. But you think Theismann shouldn't have criticized Williams? If I was a former player, I'd be pretty angry about Williams' cavalier attitude towards the NFL.
