<description><![CDATA[Source: www.nytimes.com&#160;
&#160;
&#160;
KENDALL, Fla. &mdash; The latest milepost on what Ricky Williams calls his spiritual journey is an acupuncture and massage college tucked inside a strip mall, above a video store, next to sandwich and liquor shops.
&#160;
Here, where the study hall is named after the philosopher Lao Tzu and one room contains some 300 Chinese herbs, Williams is a massage therapist in training, a running back who generally hopes to avoid contact on the football &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/ht_admin/5672">More</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Source: Miamiherald.com
&#160;
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano told his players to ''stay home'' and keep out of trouble during their three days away from the NFL grind last weekend. But he could never demand each player not be tempted by trouble.
&#160;
And that's what running back Ricky Williams admitted happened to him, if only for a few moments.
&#160;
Williams, in the NFL's substance-abuse program since 2002 and having tested positive four times, said Monday he was briefly tempted to &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/ht_admin/4694">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Suspended NFL RB Ricky Williams to seek reinstatement next month</title>
<description><![CDATA[MIAMI (AP) &#8212; Suspended running back Ricky Williams is eligible to seek reinstatement by the NFL after Oct. 1 and will do so, his lawyer said Friday.

Williams, who played for the CFL's Toronto Argonauts last season while under suspension, has played only 12 NFL games since 2003. His current suspension began in April 2006 after he violated the league's drug policy for the fourth time, and a positive test for marijuana this April delayed his return.

Williams' lawyer David Cornwell said &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/ht_admin/2390">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Ricky Williams Not Ready for NFL Return... Yet</title>
<description><![CDATA[As a certified personal sports columnist, I take some of my responsibilities seriously.

These responsibilities include reminding readers that mixing fluid from Barry Bonds' knee and Shaquille O'Neal's hematoma would be bad. Doing so might initiate a chemical reaction that obliges the subject to blame the media for Kobe Bryant.

But recent reports are threatening to require an even greater form of assistance from guys like me.
