Lol, is it me or is Ricky being a bit of a smart *** with the media? :lol: I think he said "I don't understand the question" 3 times in under a 4 minute interview. I mean I could care less if he is doing it purposely, cause I can understand the guy has an issue with public speaking or w/e exactly it is, and i feel for the guy. I know, I know he is a multi-million dollar athlete and part of his "job" is to talk to the media.
Either way I think its a pretty funny interview, you can really feel the tensions are kinda high between Ricky and the media guys.
Enjoy

For the way the media ripped him as a football player and as a man, I don't blame him for being a smartass.

They're kinda lame questions (the ones he said that to).
"How much does it weigh on you guys that you haven't won more than 2 in a row, but now have to win 5?"
"Talk about what it's like seeing what Chad and the receivers are doing every week."
"Are you taking more care of your body now that you're carrying the load?"
"Talk the offensive line overcoming injuries and still blocking."
Ricky is a guy that enjoys mental stimulation, playing for a coach that stresses accountability. He's not a 'canned answers' guy. These questions, posed by professional journalists, are ridiculous to him. He's clearly annoyed.
You notice that he answers once they better (re)phrase their question.
Better bring their A game next time.Frumundah Finnatic, dolphindebby, djphinfan and 3 others like this. -
Completely agree, Muck.
Ricky is a very intelligent guy, and these "professional journalists" are pretty lame. I mean if you're going to ask lame questions, isn't it better to not ask anything at all?dolfan7171 likes this. -
Did anyone watch Sparano's immediately after Ricky? He is pretty funny

Did you see JT's?
They kept asking him how he taught the young guys, or something. And he said finish. They kept asking and he kept repeating himself. The look on his face was as funny as Ricky's.
Sometimes the press is so lame. -
Why even quote players anymore? The questions are cliche, the answers are cliche. Do we ever really learn anything differently b/c of an interview?

Tha was a great presser by Sparano, very calm, cool and funny...
I can never get a gauge on his "pretty good", he uses the term so much i dont know where are players ceiling begin or end. drives me bananas.
How's randy starks playin coach?
coach:.. randy's playin pretty good right now.
How's Jake long playin this year coach?
coach: Jake is having a pretty good year this year. -
channing crowder does the only interviews, that ive noticed, where he doesnt sound like he is repeating what he was told to say. ive noticed other guys all say a lot of the same things and they are vague cliche answers. but crowder, you can tell he is thinking on his feet when he talks.

ask yourself
would ronnie be able to do it without ricky :no:
yet rick gets it done without ronniethe 23rd likes this. -
Usually I think you are an ***hole(jk) sometimes but I agree with this post. :up:
-
yes Ronnie would get it done without Ricky. Both are really good backs

Run Ricky Run!
there is no issue :no:
Williams requires neither praise nor pity
he speaks volumes w/ every carry he makes
watch him top a thousand (again) against the Titans
we simply need him to do what he does best
w/o outside hindrance
or ridiculous & distracting commentaries:deadhorse:
Run Ricky Run! -
He doesnt like those media interviews in the locker room. And they are pointless anyway. He doesn't mind the sit down ones though, as you saw on NFL Network. And this new one, its good: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...ins-hyde-ricky-1220-20091218,0,7251318.column

Ricky doesnt like cliched questions, he's always been that way.

Ricky is my favorite offensive player of all time & JT is my favorite defensive player
incredible & joyous that they remain w/ us
through the parcellian reconstruction & I believe they will play in our next SuperBowl
I couldn't write a better script about the Miami Dolphins: Bill Parcells, Ricky Williams & JT
(if I were actually writing the script, I'd include the return of a healthy Zach Thomas)dolphindebby likes this. -
how so
ronnie brown is like glass
touch him and he shatters
can't stay on the field when sharing time
how you expect him to handle the full load
no way ronnie rown could be a full time feature back and survive -
if they're running in Tandem Ronnie is as good as Ricky
Ronnie has always run best in Tandem
the Tandem from Hell is the best in the NFL
however, as a feature back, I'd have to agree w/ friend KillerPain
having said that
I hope they are both signed to contracts as soon as possible
another thing, I know it's out in left field right now
but for future need:
watch McFadden & the Raiders w/ the FrontOffice
if he is negotiable, he will be in a Dolphin uniform
he's 1 of 2 pieces left of interest to the TriFecta
we will need a Franchise RB in the near future
