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.

Sion is fine in my book, but Ni? Is that true? NE1 confirm?

Pete?

bad? but lookin good

No...no...nope.....I see nothing but good coming form this

I have to say, I hated both of those movies

Anyone seen Tigerland, on the subject of good ole Colin? Good flick.

see, Shaq was arrogant....but he was right. If you put the ball repeatedly in his hands, things open up.

We do, but they always get stolen by American tourists. That may be, but an image reinacting the sinking of the Titanic as a warning is kind of tacky on your part. I thought Buffalo Soldiers and Dog Soldiers were nice surprises

This does a pretty good job answering that

It's not that she won't, but that she can't. You see, her vision is not so good as of late. During a recent trip to Canada she was struck by one of those sneaky icebergs while crossing the street. She is expected to make a full recovery. You guys should put up signs or something.

Wait, doesn't that imply it was modable?

The only sure way I know your lying is because Eddie Curry would never put in the effort nessasary to be a firefighter. Jamal Crawford looks like he will be traded to the knicks tho. Sadly, it seems the Bulls actually made Kobe Bryant a "serious" offer before he went back with the Lakers. It's getting harder and harder to like my team.

good call The first Mummy movie was a similar expirence in my mind. Expected ****, got a good pop-corn flick. I think T3 was also a surprise, I wrote that one off completely,

He signed with the Lakers yesterday (possible before that), it was posted, you responded to the post, Kobe loving seems to be effecting your memory Rasheed Wallace helped transform Detroit from contenders to NBA champions last month. Now, he's coming back for more. According to two sources, the unrestricted free agent forward has agreed to a five-year contract worth $57 million. Acquired in a late-season trade, Wallace helped lead the Pistons to their first title since 1990.

I would! A female Dark Lord Sith would be sweet! .............is this a bad time to bring up my Bastila prediction?

word is payton still wants to be bought out That's not what I meant. I meant they have replaced Fisher with Divac...get it? good old divac can prolly pass better. Actaully, if he is hitting the mid range shot, it will help kobe out big time. Clear the lane and such.

word is payton still wants to be bought out

I've seen that, but I don't think its a "bug" exactly. The bridge narrows in the middle and the thing can't get past this one point iirc, but it tries and it almost gets jammed if you will.

Fight Club & The Matrix.....sadly Eurotrip. You can't help but laugh at the robot scene!

Source: Divac headed back to Lakers By GREG BEACHAM, AP Sports Writer July 20, 2004 Vlade Divac has reached an agreement to rejoin the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving the Sacramento Kings after six seasons, an NBA source told The Associated Press. The deal with the 36-year-old Serbian center was expected to be finalized by Tuesday, the source said on condition of anonymity. Earlier in Belgrade, Serbia-Montenegro, Divac said he was leaving the Kings.

if it's not in already, it's a bit late in the game to add it.

family photo?

I bet Afganistan and Iraq were numbers 11 and 12 On a sad note: Our fellow board member Phosphor was struck by an iceberg early this morning. He then crawled 4 miles in the snow, to come with in sight of the hospital, when a herd of man eating reindeer came apon him. Needless to say, the closed casket funeral will be held Monday and Canada has been moved from 4th on the list to 37th.
