Ricky, maybe one of the most underrated RB's in the NFL history. He was pretty dominate for the Dolphins a couple of years and did better than people give him credit for when he was with the Saints.

Once he left New Orleans Ricky played his arse off. I don't care what anyone says.

this has to be the first time ever a guy said publicly he would have preferred ending up in Cleveland over New Orleans and Miami...

also Josh Gordon showed that potheads can find weed anywhere

As a Browns fans that’s an argument that no rational person would ever make.

This statement shows me why Ricky would have been unsuccessful anywhere.

Nope. Ricky would still have chosen drugs.

When it came down to choosing millions of money, fame, and the NFL vs Marijuana Ricky chose the drug.

So sad.

You'd be in the HoF now if you liked playing football more than you liked smoking weed.

What’s he been up to now a days? Looks like they found him pan handling on their way to the ceremony and asked him if he wanted to go

A LOT has changed from the early 2000s to now in terms of weed.

But yes, when you're a player of his caliber there should be no issues.

Are you serious with this? For frick sake people have been smoking weed nation wide for a long time. It was not introduced to the midwest in the last decade nor was it limited to famous/rich people

I don't think you understand what I'm talking about here.

It is ALOT easier for me to get it here than it is when im back in SC.
it's literally like a grubhub app here.



That said, this has nothing to do with weed.
This is all a "Cleveland is boring" comment.
Not the first athlete to say this.

There was no way the expansion Browns were taking a RB #1 overall


Any GM who takes a RB #1 overall in real life should be fired on the spot.

Rushed for 10k yards in his career.
Lead the league in Rushing one year, and made close to $30 million in his career.

This guy isn't fricking Lawrence Phillips
