Ricky Williams may play in the CFL next year....
Been lots of talk on Toronto sports radio about Ricky Williams playing with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League this year, while he is serving his 1 year suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

From what I hear, the Miami Dolphins ready to allow him to play in Toronto for a year, as long as they get a guarantee that he will be realeased to return to the NFL next year.

So the guy likes to smoke a bit of weed now and then. He should fit right in up here in Canada.

1. If he goes, I hope he does well...
...it'll be interesting to see how he does in Canadian style football. It's a whole different philosophy with the running game up there.

2. Bigger field, more room to run...
backs tend to get alot of passes too. I think he'll do very well.

His salary will be capped at $300,000 though, which is just a bit less than he was making with Miami.
