Somebody pursues their heart

Congrats to Ricky Williams on his retirement.

Yahoo! Sports - NFL - In retirement, Williams still on the go

Many fans couldn't understand why Williams abandoned the team a week before training camp or why he gave up more than $5 million a year -- $3.6 million in salary this season plus $1.5 million in incentives -- at the peak of his career. He already has enough money, he said, and making millions more wasn't a priority for him.

How many NFL players play until they have totally worn their bodies out. How many of them play for the money and not for the love of the game?

I am glad that Ricky Williams is not one of them anymore!
