One of the stories everyone will follow in 2010 is whether running back Ricky Williams will retire after the season (as he has said he might) or will continue playing beyond this season (as he has said he might).
Well, in correcting a news story on Thursday, Williams may have given a glimpse of which way he's leaning long-term.
SportsBusinessDaily.com reported Williams is in preliminary talks to host a "reality" show for 2011. Turns out the report and the ensuing ones that simply parroted the information were wrong, according to Williams.
"I am NOT doing a reality TV show," Williams said on his twitter feed. "I am beginning discussions [for] a potential travel show."
So what does this have to do with the decision to play beyond 2010 or not?
As Williams added with another tweet, the travel show work would begin in February of 2011 after the NFL season is over.
And that means if the show gets off the ground and is a success, Williams would find himself doing something he once decided he loved more than football. Williams would essentially be doing what he did in the fall of 2004 when he retired from football and traveled around the world.
Except this time Williams would be getting paid.
The gig wouldn't preclude him from returning to his NFL work in 2011 if he wanted, but it is possible it would be another reason tugging at Williams to stay away. He would no doubt be making good money, exploring the world, and not getting trucked by 300-pound defensive linemen.
That lure could play a role in whether Williams wants to make a return to the field at age 34. Even the discussion of doing the show might be a foreshadowing that Williams is already planning other activities not football for 2011.
Or not. One never knows with Mr. Williams.
Follow me on twitter. There is a prize if you do.

Posted by: Marc | July 23, 2010 at 06:23 PM
Odinseye, I have never laughed harder on this blog when I read some of your comments about Bret Michaels. You are a legend! Cuban Menace, glad to have you back and giving your take on things. The Phins defense will be better from Mike Nolans schemes. I think we will be fine (Wanny). The offense will be greatly improved, and with Patrick Cobbs back making those 70 screen pass plays. I am stoked for the season, and beyond! As always RUN RICKY RUN!

Posted by: kris | July 23, 2010 at 07:16 PM
Signing Douglas quickly was a smart move on a few levels. One the Jets had a mild interest in bringing him back. Two he is familiar with Nolan's scheme. Three, the loss of Merling gave Odrick's camp a little more leverage in contract negotiations. Good move all around.
Posted by: Bootang26 | July 23, 2010 at 07:17 PM
cuban it is kinda weird that he has this strong dislike towards you. Kinda like Home has for NJ. Let us hope you dont have a poster of la muneca on your wall.

Posted by: Cuban Menace | July 23, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Wait a second...
1) I think Phin Fan somehow convinced himself that Menace was secretly Troll-bashing him. Once he believed it...he became hostile.
2) I might very well might be wrong....but most people with 'Law Enforcement' backgrounds don't usually hide behind multiple names to bash someone. If they've got something to say, they usually just say it.
3) As you know,
Phin Fan and Home both got banned for Feuding.
NJ forgot that..... "You should never wrestle with a Pig...You'll only get dirty and THE PIG LIKES IT.
3) It is Probable that 'Home' engaged in 98% of all Troll-bashing on BOTH Boards. Home is ELITE in this category. No one even comes close.
We've all been lucky these past few days -- BUT CHANCES ARE
THAT HE WILL RETURN!
4) Having said all that....
I myself got banned a month ago (for 48 hours) at the Sentinel for using multiple names. (But I changed aliases only because I didn't want Home to Zombie-post with my handel.) Its a shame that I had to do that. I wish that the small group of people who are in need of so much attention would stop gracing us with their presence.
