    Well he didnt actually say he wanted to play here but he does want to get back close to home. Look at the things he said about new orleans.

    -- Ricky Williams portrays himself as an outcast among fellow Saints and New Orleanians alike, and recommends moving the team to San Antonio in an interview hitting newsstands Wednesday.

    I'd live in Austin," Williams says in the March 20 issue of Sports Illustrated. "New Orleans is a great place to hang out, but not a great place to live and work."

    At Texas, where Williams set a short-lived major-college career rushing record, "There was a deep sense of pride," Williams says.

    "Like my linemen -- they were so proud. When they missed a block and I got hit in the backfield, they would be right there and say, 'I'm sorry, Ricky.' You could see in their eyes that it really hurt them," Williams says.

    "In New Orleans ... they'd pick me up but I never once heard anyone say, 'I'll get 'em next time,'" Williams says. "I don't know what the problem was. I think they were just too worried about themselves."


    He doesnt look happy there, should we go after him later?

    Ps. I know he sucked like bryce drew last year but he still has alot of talent. [​IMG]

    He didn't exactly suck like Bryce Drew last year.

    He played the entire year hurt and still almost managed 1,000 yards.

    I just wish he wouldn't have said this. The Saints have done some kick ass offseason work. People are saying they could be this upcoming season's Rams or Falcons.
