Toronto Reporter May Drive Ricky Williams Back to Weed

It seems that whenever I do updates for SportsbyBrooks lately, I not only forget to mention it to you but also neglect to post anything here at all.

While I thought about blaming my mental lapses on my hair color, that's a cop out. When I wasn't actively earning my salary, I spent the free time in my office writing on SbB, laying on my couch to watch "Murder, She Wrote," and putting a new dart board on the back of my office door. From there came make-believe time where I hussled random men at bars by throwing over my shoulder and around my waist...

Without beer, my skills are a bloody disaster.

Flavor Flav!Anyway, you may now realize that I remembered to toss up a post before the night ran out. As such, please oblige me by checking out SportsbyBrooks today where you can catch me passing judgment on the following nuggets:

  • Clinton Portis is getting Flavor Flav's sloppy seconds... pardon me while I vomit
  • ESPN's Michael Smith wins this week's Superlative Headline Challenge
  • Great quarterbacks to Ben Roethlisberger: it's just a bad stretch, buddy
  • A high school soccer player busted her opponent in the mouth during post-game handshakes and gets arrested... a girl after my own heart
  • West Virginia to beef up its 2009 schedule with new D1-A juggernaut, Western Kentucky
  • TonyHomo.com: Drew writes a letter to recently benched Byron Leftwich
  • Terrell Owens is baffled as to why his pseudo-narcolepsy pisses off Todd Haley
  • College Humor's Top 10 Dirty Plays. Missing: Bertuzzi, Pacers/Detroit, Zidane, NASCAR driver putting his feet through a windshield... Present: Woody Hayes on wanker duty
  • John Smoltz, spiritual leadership, and Christian throwback jerseys
  • AJ Allmendinger & Team Red Bull cross-promote the MLS Cup this weekend at the Dickies 500
  • SI.com's Cheerleader of the Week wins Loyalty Award
  • David Stern goes to Moscow

In other news, Ricky Williams paid the price for not following the Athlete Handbook in his dealings with the press. Everyone knows that the first page of the Handbook features the following phrase in bold, 24 point font:

Speak in Cliches!

Canadians... go figureRicky broke the rules and screwed himself into a merry-go-round of insanity, as some doofus reporter chose to forego common sense to chase down a non-story.

The reporter wanted to know if the CFL playoffs had a different feel than the regular season and if Williams planned to "turn it on." Ricky responded that he won't... the key to every great player is consistency; there is no turning it on and off.

While many have off games here and there, they don't make a habit of coasting through the regular season and flipping the switch in crunch time. Run of the mill players may operate with this philosophy but the great ones never do... they don't know how.

Sadly, the reporter failed to understand this simple concept and beat Ricky down with stupidity until the former Heisman winner freaked out and ran off on a ganjah bender.

The sad thing is, if he was a little (lot) more articulate he could have just completely owned the reporter instead of making them both look bad. I've never understood that. If you play better in the playoffs, and better with a certain qb even though you are a defensive player, then I question your effort in the other games.

Gotta agree with that. Ricky just wasn't articulate to get his point across, which sucks because he was right. And since he couldn't really communicate, he just came off looking like a dick.

Clinton Portis needs to be ashamed of himself if that's true. Goddamn.

This reporter's an idiot. Michael Jordan has gotta be the last great athlete you want to accuse of only turning it on during the playoffs. I'm sure that's how he won 5 regular season MVP crowns, slacking off when it didn't matter.

Ricky just thought htat just cuz he can speak about weed and yoga and be okay, he could do the same thing with other topics.
