Marijuana advocates want Ricky in Denver

DENVER (AP) - A group that led a campaign to legalize marijuana possession in Denver is posting a billboard advertisement encouraging suspended running back Ricky Williams and the Broncos to get together.

Williams applied for NFL reinstatement this week, his agent said. Williams has played in only 12 NFL games since the start of the 2004 season, but rushed for 3,225 yards in 2002-03. His current suspension began in April 2006 after he violated the league's drug policy for the fourth time. He tested positive for marijuana this April, again delaying his return. Williams remains under contract with Miami, where he won the NFL rushing title in 2002. But new coach Cam Cameron has not indicated whether he wants Williams to stay with the Dolphins, who fell to 0-4 Sunday.

The billboard, across the street from Invesco Field, where the Broncos play, will be unveiled Wednesday and will stay up for a month. At a cost of $3,000, it features a player with dreadlocks in a blue and orange jersey and reads, "Ricky, come to Denver... Where the people support your SAFER choice."

Ricky will go to whoever offers the highest draft pick to Randy Mueller. Depending on how desperate Green Bay is for a running game, Miami could wind up with two 2nd round picks again.

Oh yeah, good idea.

That will help Ricky stick to the NFL drug policies.

Even the dopers have to realize that if they bring Ricky to Denver and surround him with dopers, they are only guarantying that he will be worthless to the team.

I don’t see how anyone would take a chance on him at this point. Last year, maybe, but at this point he’s been out of the league for so long, and of course he’s gotten older....just don’t see it.

But you never know.

He’s on my fantasy team and he’s scored like 420 points.

Hah. But then Ricky will be discontent that they depleted the supply at his new destination!

Really, though... Ricky can go for a first-day pick. If a team is desperate enough, they’ll do it. (Titans, Packers, Cowboys, and Bucs lead my list of potential destinations that would fork over a 3rd.)
