AFP – He may be overweight and seemingly past his best but new AS Roma striker Adriano believes he still has a lot to offer on his comeback to Italian football.

Ricky Williams seems to be a living enigma, of sorts. With an exorbitant amount of football talent, Williams brought great hope to the Dolphins’ lackluster running game in the 2002 season. With the exception of his 1999 season with the New Orleans Saints during which he had only 884 yards on the ground with 253 carries, Williams has done well. He boasted 1000 rushing yards in 2000 with 248 carries, and 1245 rushing yards with 313 carries for two years before he joined the Dolphins.

When he joined Miami in 2002, instead of playing a role in the backfield, he was asked to pretty much spearhead the Dolphins offensive explosion. Ricky accumulated 1853 rushing yards with an almost machine-like 383 carries; do you think they ran the ball that year? By the time the 2003 season rolled around, the hype around Ricky Williams was astonishing. Ricky was thrown into the spotlight by not only the local media, but also by the national media which acclaimed him as the next great running back in the NFL/ This only heightened an already escalating problem. The Dolphins continued to utilize Ricky in the 2003 season the same way they had the year before; he compiled an amazing 392 carries, but only 1372 rushing yards. Opposing teams seemed to figure out that Miami was going to run the ball, a lot.

Right before training camp started for the Dolphins, on July 25, 2004, Ricky Williams placed a phone call to the team to announce that he had planned to “retire” and not play the 2004 season. Ricky cited many reasons for his choice to leave the high-paying career of football. He said, “I just don’t want to be in this business anymore,” and added, “I was never strong enough to not play football, but I’m strong enough now.” Ricky also added that he was “finally free,” and he couldn’t remember being this happy. The Dolphins weren’t. Miami ended up finishing that season with a 4-12 year. The Dolphins’ savior had become their downfall. The story of Ricky Williams’ decision to leave football to pursue a career as a holistic healer made the news often during the 2004 season, and many twists and turns surfaced in that time, including Ricky failing a drug test due to marijuana use just prior to his decision to leave football.

Last season, Williams returned to the Dolphins to play football, and tried to work off some of the money that he owed them for the 2004 season he did not play. Ricky missed the first four games of the season, serving a suspension for his failed drug test prior to training camp the year before. He came back slowly, only achieving seven yards rushing during the first two games of his return. Ricky then finished the season with two games during which he gained more than 100 yards rushing. At this point, Nick Saban was onto something; not only did he have an established power runner in Ricky Williams, but he also had a finesse running back in Ronnie Brown. Enter the two-headed monster of power and finesse.

Now the power-half of the two-headed monster is gone. Williams failed another drug test last month and has just been handed a one-year suspension by the NFL as of last week. The real question isn’t “How will the Dolphins welcome him back next year or will they use him as trade bait?” The real question is how well Nick Saban can convince his team that Ricky Williams is insignificant to their success. While most of us know that Williams is one heck of a running back, I doubt his failure to play this season will seriously affect their chances in the AFC East. The Dolphins have improved themselves greatly in the off-season, and their competition in the division has either lost key players or has remained dormant in free-agent signings. The Patriots (God-bless) have lost Adam Vinatieri, Ted Washington, and, probably the biggest hit of them all, Willie McGinnest. Not to mention the fact that the Patriots seemed to ignore the last free-agent signing. Meanwhile, the Jets and the Bills do not look like they are going to provide much of a challenge.

So, it seems the Dolphins will survive this year with the loss of Ricky Williams. Unless something else happens that derails their train off the tracks, they seem to be the favorite to win the AFC East. What about Ricky, though? What will become of his career? Will he play for the Dolphins next year? What will happen to his legacy? Well, only time will tell. Only Ricky can decide his future. Either he can serve his one year suspension and come back and try to be a model NFL player again, or he can mix dry herbs into a burlap pouch and give them to natives in the Australian outback. Maybe he can get a gig with the Amsterdam Admirals in NFL Europe. Either way, the Dolphins are much better off this year than in 2004; Ricky Williams, not so much.

There are so many online casinos that its almost impossible to decide which one is best for you. Which online casino is the best? Which one is best suited to your needs? If you are not very picky, then your selection criteria will not be as large, and picking an online casino will be fairly easy. If you demand only the best online casinos, then follow the tips in this article.

Great online casinos have the following features

1) A big welcome bonus

Some casinos will offer you a 100% bonus just for playing with them. How many land based casinos would do that for you? Probably none!

2) Offer a wide variety of games

Generally all online casinos will have a huge variety of casino games. If they do not, then don’t bother gambling with them.

3) Look professional

If a website looks professional, more than likely, it is a good quality website. If it looks dull, or unprofessional, move onto another casino that is more professional.

4) Accept players from your country/state

A lot of casinos are not accepting US players. However, some are accepting US players. Does your country/state allow Internet gambling? Check out the terms and conditions of the online casino in question. Find out before you place a potentially illegal bet/s, and get into trouble.

5) Support multiple languages

Are you French? Do you prefer to read German language whilst betting? A lot of online casinos support multiple languages; which is very handy if English is not your strong point.

Most online casinos are pretty safe and reliable these days, and offer most/all of the above features. They offer a realistic gambling experience in the comfort and privacy of your own home. How many casinos will allow you to win money whilst wearing your bath robe? What game would you like to play? How would you like to pay? Do the terms and conditions sound okay? Does the online casino look professional? If the online casino in question has all of those features, or has all the features you are looking for, then its probably the online casino for you.

Selecting an online casino shouldn’t be done lightly. While there are a lot of reputable online casinos out there, the Internet has its share of crooks. I’m going to go over a series of items to look for when selecting an online casino.

Online Casino Age

The first thing I look for in an online casino is age. While older doesn’t equal better, it is a good sign. For one thing, an older online casino is bound to have chatter out there. If an online casino is less than one year old, I won’t play there. It might be a great online casino, but I’ll wait for some feedback and age first. Some of the most reputable casinos online are anywhere from 4-13 years old.

Payouts

Another issue with me is payout speed. Sure, an online casino might be lightning quick in taking my money, but how fast can they put it back in my pocket? Over the years this has been a major problem area for many online casinos.

It’s good to check around first. If an online casino is purposely slow, it could be the sign of potential problems. In this day and age, you should be able to get your withdraws processed and in your account (unless they are sending via postal mail) within 48 hours-maybe 72 tops. Anything more is just amateur and behind the times.

Licensing and Information

Is the online casino licensed? If so, with who? Check the address and phone number of the online casino. You should be able to find these easily. If not, there’s a problem.

Give the online casino a call. Someone should answer quickly (three rings or less). If not, it could be a sign of weak customer support-commonplace with many online casinos.

Do they have a street address? Make sure their address isn’t some mailbox out in the middle of a pasture somewhere.

Comments

This last step is really good. Go to your favorite search engine-or two. Next type in the online casino’s name and see what comes up. Try adding search terms to their name like:

Payout

Fraud

Customer service

Forum

Feedback

News

Review

That will get you started. If someone has commented about the online casino, you’ll have a good chance of finding it.

If you can’t find anything, that’s just not a good sign. With any luck, you’ll find many sources of information about the online casino. It doesn’t need to be an all-day thing either. Just do some searches, check out some stuff and if it all adds up, go enjoy yourself.

Staying Safe

It just makes sense to follow these ideas. Another tip is to deposit just a small amount and try out the online casino first. If you like it and they appear reputable, go have a blast.

Gambling online is fun. Just be sure to take some security precautions.
