Did the Argos get their money's worth from Ricky Williams?

The Argos got their money's worth from Ricky, but there were other issues, like the pedestrian play league wide that hampered all the teams this year.\n\nRicky, when I saw him play, was strong.  When I saw him interviewed, he was good for a chuckle...though he was usually right with what he was saying from a philosophical point of view.\n\nThe league, however, hurt the Argos when it shut down the Gades as it lost some credibility again.  A player like Ricky can only help so much when your hands get tied by things like reputation of the entire league.

It is very sad that they would walk out over money, however....do you know that the average income in Togo is less than $400 a yr? For what the country (team?) is getting paid for the appearance the can afford to set the players up for life! It is all well and good to say "do it for pride" but this is THE opportunity of a life time for these guys, maybe the only chance they would have to help their families. We could say we would do it for free but we obviously all have computers (that probably cost at leat 5 yr annual income for them) and enough to eat!!!

The football itself was probably worth about $25. Now that the Rams signed it, probably about .25.

They are trying to make some moves but they keep getting outbid by other teams.  They've tried to get Carlos Lee and Gary Mathews Jr, but other teams wanted to pay them way more than they're worth.  There is talk that the Gigantes have been trying to get Dave Roberts and possibly Rich Aurilia, both of which can now be had at an affordable price.

i agree....aside from giving up randy foye for telfair(a major mistake in my mind), i've always wondered why rondo would rate higher than williams...i have yet to see a successful point guard who is a poor shooter and rondo just doesnt make sense when marcus was there for the taking...i have this stinking feeling that ainge is either a saboteur or really has no business running the celtics given his less than exemplary performance in terms of personnel decisions

I think Florida got the better deal. Bertuzzi is now showing how over rated he always was. He's nothing, he's a goon and he won't be able to perform without some one like Naslund there feeding him pucks. I've never hated Todd, but I've always hated the amount of attention he received, I think he's an excellent third or fourth line winger who can rattle teeth when the time is right, but other than that, he's not much. I think Vancouver will probably be kicking themselves when they see Allen emerge as a top player in Florida. As for the goalies, Auld will be good, Luongo will be good. They are both at about the same level right now and I don't think Luongo will keep asking for all this money once he realizes that with the cap in place, nobody who has a glimpse of the playoffs in there dreams let alone a chance at winning the Stanley cup has enough salary room to afford him. He'll have to settle. And as for the whats his name that Florida sent over with Luongo, he's a flash in the pan, I think the Vancouver scouts made a big mistake in wanting him. We'll have to see how things pan out during the next season though. The true test of how good the deal was will be when the goalies show us what they've got. I personally would have liked to see a straight across trade, Auld for Luongo. That would have been better for Vancouver. Now let's see if the Oilers will be stupid enough to trade Chris Pronger...

Of course they will, they paid $51 mil just to talk to him, not signing him would be the biggest mistake since Napolean sold Louisiana.  He might not end up being worth the money, like Irabu, but they cannot just flush that kind of money down the drain.

I HEARD IT FETCHED 2.4 MIL. IMAGINE IF IT WAS ZIZOU WHO SIGNED IT. THE BID PRICE WOULD HAVE GONE THRU THE ROOF. LOL \n\nSTILL, A GOOD THING FOR CHARITY : )

come on marc cuban would be the best possible thing for not only the penguins but the NHL.  look at what he did with the mavs. does any one remember what a joke they were when he bought them.  Not to mention lets get a little pub for the NHL... Immagine what he would do to that prick betman I am salivating just thinking about it.

McCarty's contract with the Flames is up once it hits 12:00 am, on July 1st, as he becomes a UFA. \n\nThat is unless the Flames manage to resign him before then.\n\nHis former contract was a 1 year deal worth $800,000 with the Flames, signed in the 2005 off season.

Well here's a quote from sportsnet.ca......you be the judge but if you ask me, I don't see even a flicker of resemblence!!!!!\n\n\n Last Thursday, Darcy Tucker told Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators that he didn't want to fight because he was "a goal-scorer." \n\nThis, just 48 hours after Tucker's attack on Ottawa's defenseless super dustweight Patrick Eaves. Tucker was called many things in the 48 hours between the Eaves-troughing and his chat at centre ice with Neil, but I'd bet every last dollar that Dan Murphy owes me that "goal-scorer" was not among them.

I not sure but what about Doug Williams

NO WAY!\n\nHouston was stupid for not taking Bush, even if they didn't want him.\n\nThey could of taken Bush, and traded him for Mario Williams for less money and some players or draft picks.

Point guards are only as good as the players that they have around them. I would put my money on Williams. Strong lasts in the NBA, quickness fades once the pounding you take adds up. The Jazz do a great job of finding talent. It has not taken them long to get back on the map in the post Stockton-Malone era. You never know if Deron will choose to be a Utah lifer or not but is there a better coach for a young player to learn from than Jerry Sloan? He will take that with him wherever he plays. I think that both of these guys will be around for a while, let's just enjoy watching!

I heard this analysis and it made sense to me.\n\nTake the names out of it.  Houston needs lots of help, especially defense and on the offensive line.\n\nWould you rather have a guy that can contribute 60-70 plays a game or one that would be able to contribute only 15-20 plays a game.\n\nBush is special, but he can only help when he touches the ball.  He is not a workhorse that can carry the load of 30-35 carries per game, but Williams will be able to run every play on defense, as he is not just a pass rusher, but a great run stopper as well.\n\nAll this was done as a football decision, not just because of a highlight reel.
