Ricky Williams is a great guy, a great athlete, and, now, he's doing his own website. Literally doing it all himself. It's a refreshing look in to the mind of a guy lieke you and me, well almost. I can't run over 100 yards a game for the Miami Dolphins or afford a Hummer, but otherwise he is a lot like you and me.
I highly recommend his website:

This is a small sample from today's journal:
Thursday September 19,2002
As we prepare for the Jets this week, I am starting to grow tired of the whole "Jets Jinx" everyone is talking about. Everyone but us. I am not saying that it isn't on our minds. The way I see it, it is just a freak coincidence that the Jets have beaten us the past eight meetings. I am sure it wears on some of the guys minds. It happens all the time in sports, when one team has another teams number, especially when they play each other twice a year. The Cowboys have won nine straight over Washington, too. When I was in New Orleans we had a bunch of successful against the Rams. No one could understand how we kept beating the best team in the NFL. Well, we knew that if we played them physically, they would have problems. I am sure the Jets have just known how to play us, or how to play the team we were. Hopefully that has changed with all of the new additions to the team. It's all mental, and as long as we know we are a different, better team, then we can put all this "jinx" crap to rest

Ricky's latest journal entry:
I am sure there are a bunch of questions about the addition
of Cris Carter to our team. Most of them will be answered on
Monday. I wanted to share an observation of mine with all
of you. As an offensive unit, we aren't very vocal. We are
pretty much the same in the huddle whether we are winning by
20 or losing by 20. I don't think that is very good. Again,
that is just my opinion. What makes a team great is
leadership. We have tons of it on D, but not nearly enough
on the offensive side of the ball. I have made several
futile attempts, but don't feel I have the credentials or
credibility yet. Cris does and has already shown signs of
being vocal towards players and coaches as well. Always
positive. I hope he feels comfortable enough soon enough
for us as a team to benefit from his experience and
leadership.
The Dolphins lost up in the land of the frozen North, so it will be interesting to read Ricky's post game observations in a day or two.

His coach told him he wanted 130 yards and Ricky asked him what he was
smoking. This was the Chargers game.
I'm read today's journal entry in http://run-ricky-run.com
What *was* he smoking. Ricky's not a stats guy.
I wish he'd date some of his journal entries. He's talking about the
Chargers win. Some really good stuff.
Miami's 7-4 and they play the Bills Sunday, Dec. 1st.
They have a two game winning streak since their loss to the Jets 13-10.
