I don't think the part about the suspension is correct...
Either way, I literally laughed out loud when I saw that headline. Other people I've talked to said they laughed as well, but because they thought it was some sort of joke. I believed it the second I read it, and it's probably the perfect way for one of the quirkiest, most dysfunctional football stars ever to end his career -- right in his prime, days before training camp. Seriously, Ricky is just... strange. He posed in a wedding dress beside Mike Ditka before ever playing an NFL down, he conducted interviews his first two years in the league with his HELMET on, he was caught driving like 140 MPH a year or two ago... and now he's decided he'd be better off spending his time in Asia for several months, leaving the Dolphins with perhaps the sorriest starting backfield I've ever heard of (AJ Feeley, Travis Minor, Rob Konrad).
Just funny, I think. Sad to see a good player go, but then I've always thought he was pretty one-dimensional and overrated.
