Just for the record; Ricky Williams is a total d-bag. I am still in disbelief that he bailed on his team so close to the beginning of the season. I am a big Bills fan and I even felt sorry for the Dolphins. I cannot imagine the feelings in the locker room when he is back.

Wait, it gets better:
Associated Press reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams will serve a four-game suspension beginning with Week 13 of the 2004 NFL season, which would carry him through the end of the regular season. According to his lawyer, Williams will then be reinstated to the Dolphins by the NFL. The league says no agreement has been finalized at this time, but they have been talking for some time. "I am pleased with the National Football League's proposal," attorney David Cornwell said Tuesday, Nov. 23. "I think Ricky will be pleased, too." Williams needs to approve the deal, which would remove him from the retired list to the suspended list for the final four games of the season. Following that, his contract with the Dolphins would be in force.

What a fiasco. This is unbelievable. I wonder if he will retire again tomorrow.

Wonder no more, the idiot is now staying retired (for now):

This could be it for Ricky Williams. He just doesn't want to play.
The 2002 NFL rushing champion rejected a deal to serve a four-game drug suspension this season and return next year. He'll stay retired instead, and his lawyer, David Cornwell, doesn't believe Williams will play again.
"Ricky indicated to me that he is no longer interested in resuming his career at this time," Cornwell said in an e-mail to the Associated Press on Thursday.
The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner needed to let the league know his decision by Thursday so he could be moved from the retired list to the suspended list by the deadline. He would have served the suspension for the Miami Dolphins' final four games, starting Dec. 12 at Denver.
"Ricky Williams has declined to accept the terms of his reinstatement," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
Those terms included a promise Williams would play next season and re-enter the NFL drug program immediately. He would have been tested on a regular basis.
"The NFL sought assurances that Ricky is indeed committed to playing," said Cornwell, who wouldn't disclose why Williams decided against the deal.
Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene wouldn't comment, saying the matter is between Williams and the NFL.
Williams, 27, stunned his team by retiring shortly before Miami opened training camp in July. The Dolphins filed a lawsuit in federal court against the running back, seeking the $8.6 million an arbitrator ruled he owes the team for breaching his contract. Williams is fighting the decision.
He gave up the $5 million he would have earned this season, which would have been his sixth in the NFL, amid reports he faced suspension for substance abuse.
Williams has social-anxiety disorder and was a spokesman for an anti-depressant. He said marijuana helped him after he stopped using the anti-depressant.
He rushed for 3,225 yards in two seasons with the Dolphins, including 1,853 yards in 2002. Miami acquired him from New Orleans after the 2001 season.
