from Miami Herald:
Williams is putting his cars and Miami homes up for sale. He already donated some of the money from them to a local school.
He says he'll probably spend the upcoming football season traveling abroad -- he hasn't gone to Dolphin workouts in weeks -- but doesn't have a concrete plan for his future.
''I have no idea what I'm going to do,'' he said. ``Who knows? I just know it is going to be fun. Going to school again. Going to travel for the next six months. I'm half-way intelligent. I'll figure something out. I don't feel like I have to explain myself to anyone. All I end up doing anyway is giving rebuttals, and it is boring. I don't want to do it anymore. That's it. I don't want to do this anymore. If people really care about me, that would be enough for them.''

Report: Williams tells Dolphins he will retire
By Associated Press, 7/25/2004 01:47
MIAMI (AP) Ricky Williams has told the Miami Dolphins that he's retiring after just five years in the NFL, The Miami Herald reported on its Web site Sunday.
Williams said he was overjoyed by his decision.
''You can't understand how free I feel,'' Williams told the Herald in a cell phone interview Saturday before boarding a plane in Hawaii and heading to Asia to begin several months of travel.
The 27-year-old running back, who started his career with the New Orleans Saints, said he plans to file his retirement papers with the NFL on Monday or Tuesday.
Williams told Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt of his decision Friday and said Wannstedt tried to persuade him to reconsider. Miami opens training camp Friday.
The Dolphins acquired Williams from New Orleans for two first-round draft picks in 2002, and he led the NFL in rushing that year.
Phone messages left early Sunday with two Dolphins officials and Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg, weren't immediately returned.
''I have no comment,'' Wannstedt told the Herald when asked about Williams' retiring. ''Players report Friday. Right now, it's a 10-day dead period. We'll get everybody started on Friday.''
Wannstedt acknowledged talking with Williams but declined to give details of their conversation.
Williams said there was no chance he would change his mind.
He said he has already told his mother Sandy, Steinberg, backup running back Travis Minor and friends and family of his decision.
In May, three South Florida newspapers reported that Williams tested positive for marijuana and faced a fine of at least $650,000 for violating the league's substance-abuse policy for a second time since joining the Dolphins.
But his attorney, Gary Ostrow, told The Associated Press: ''As far as I'm concerned, there is no violation.''
Williams told the Herald his failed marijuana tests had a minor influence on his decision to retire, but was only one of many factors. It didn't cause him to retire, he said, as much as reinforce his reasons for wanting to do so.
Williams' two seasons with the Dolphins have been the best of his career. He set a team record with 1,853 yards rushing in 2002. He followed that with 1,372 yards last season.

I guess wilheim and I are the only two still awake.
what do you mean wilheim with the "whatever"?
you are the man for breaking this news. Sure, my bet on the under wins by Miami is not a lock, but what is?
This is a great bet. Miami can never win 9 games now.
Travis Minor? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Goodnight Miami. Maybe the NBA season with Shaq will be more kind

wilheim, I don't know what you mean when you say I confused you with my post.
are you going to the RX bash? I would like to meet you
railbird, what do you mean with the +180 bet? And I know you disrespect anything from the East Coast, but to quote John McEnroe " YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS" if you think the quarterback from New England is horrendous

Mr. Smith well the OK I'm kidding part confused me. Were you kidding about the bet or something else. Sorry I will not be at the Bash. Wish I could be, but not in the cards this year.
Natrually your bet under 9.5 wins is no cinch, there is always the chance that Williams is using this as some kind of contract ploy (although I doubt it).
