HITMAN RICKY WILLIAMS ENABLED REINSTATED BY THE NFL The SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL reports today that Ricky Williams has been reinstated to the NFL by commissioner Roger Goodell. The running back-depleted (and winless) Dolphins have two weeks to decide if they want him.

Sun-Sentinel: “Williams relocated from his Yoga farm in Northern California to Boston last June where he has been undergoing therapy in a private treatment center since. It is believed Williams is being treated for his society-anxiety disorder, which could be linked to his past abuse of marijuana.“

Williams tested positive for marijuana last April, but thanks to that time in the Boston treatment center - and a personal plea from Williams to Goodell - the league reinstated him.

More importantly, what will now become of his beloved Yoga farm?

POT GROUP HIGH ON GETTING RICKY WILLIAMS TO DENVER: As Ricky Williams applies for reinstatement into the NFL, one group wants the pot-headed player to reach that Rocky Mountain High:

The DENVER POST reports a marijuana-legalization group known as Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation is trying to get Williams to sign with the Broncos.The group plans on erecting a billboard across from INVESCO Field at Mile High, with the message, “Ricky, come to Denver…where the people support your SAFER choice.”

It’s not the first awkward ad blitz the group has done. Back in 2005, the group had to removed a billboard featuring a battered woman and the words, “Alcohol use makes domestic violence 8 times more likely. Marijuana use does not.”
