Ricky Williams need I say more

Quote:
Several league sources said Monday night that the case against Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams, who reportedly violated the NFL's substance-abuse policy for a fourth time and who faces a possible one-year suspension, already is in the appeals process, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports.

He's spending valuable drug money on appealing... what a moron.

Where are the true role models??

There are still a few good men out there... I think Peyton Manning is a great role model, as is Warrick Dunn, Marvin Harrison... to name a few... The sad thing is, though, only a few can be named out of several hundred, maybe even 1000 nfl players.

The question should be...
"WHY do we have sports figures for role models ?"

Even if they don't do anything heinous...they are grown men being payed exhorbitant amounts to PLAY a GAME.

And to top it off...all football players are gay. So they are going to hell.

I hear you. As an Astronomer, I find it frustrating that scientists are not thought of as role models - although NASA's astronauts do have a small following which is good. It doesn't help that the media focuses more on celebrities than on things that matter (don't get me started on the One campaign). I am still waiting for the media to report on the results of Huygens! I do have the results on my blog (http://astronomyonline.org/aoblog), really fascinating stuff that you'll probably never hear about on the news.

So let me be a role model. Laughing

You would be a great role model except for that streak of negativity your posts have displayed of late.

We equate media attention with prestiage and worthiness?
