I don't often watch 60 Minutes, but I have to hand it to Mike Wallace, who had this to say to Miami Dolphin's running back Ricky Williams who walked away from the game at the beginning of the season:
You would have made five million bucks this year. And you said 'It's blood money as far as I'm concerned. The money is what made me miserable. I want to be free of that stress.' And forgive me, but that's bullshit.The interview itself was pretty much a big waste of time, with Ricky Williams coming across looking selfish and shallow. When told of how he had let his teammates and his fans down, Williams just shrugged it off. Wallace did get him to admit that he pretty much just wants to smoke pot and sit around the house.
Aside: In watching 60 Minutes for the first time in several years, I did notice something that creeped me out. Ed Bradley wears an earring.
Like you, I never watch 60 Minutes, but while surfing I did catch the Williams interview. He fortified my basic belief that dope makes a person stupid. And, he's going to be one sorry, unemployable whiner when his money runs out.
