My Ricky Williams TTM Adventure - COMPLETED!!!

AUPT was kind enough to send me some of these cards he made:

Pretty awesome work, don't you think?

image

I just have to get this sucker autographed but need serious assistance. I've asked some of the resident TTM experts but unfortunately, Ricky isn't a signer.

Dam you, you pot smoking hippy!

But that's what's going to make this fun image

PRIZE

Since this will be difficult, I promise to make it worth your while.

If you can provide a legit address, I'll send you a little something. If I get an autograph returned, I'll send you something bigger and better.

Having said that, if I have to resort to paying for his signature at a show, all bets are off image

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

    If he is still on the Dolphin roster they will forward mail to him (or to any other employee). Good luck.

  • I wouldn't even bother. His past track record for signing isn't great and with all the stuff going on in his life these days I'm sure signing is the last thing on his mind. If I were you I would wait to see if he lands somewhere for the 2007 and send it care of that team.

    Stown:

    Try sending it to him care of the Toronto Argonauts (the CFL team he played with last season). He was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago and apparently has visited the city regularly since the CFL season ended. Our country has much more lenient laws so I understand he genuinely likes it up here and returns frequently. Worth a shot.

    Good luck. Eyebone

    Thanks for the info, guys.

    pandrews: While I may not include something, especially if going C/O a professional team, but I will rub it for good luck image

    PS - Y'all may want to read the last line of his bio, hence the reason why I want this particular card signed image

    Sent them to Miami, Toronto, and an alleged home he has in Austin (which I rubbed with something for good luck image ).

    I've got three left, after giving a couple away.. So I guess you can say I'm down to stems and seeds image

    I don't know what I'm going to do image

  • He's in a in-patient "center" here in Massachusetts.

    I would send all requests to Green Bay because that's where he will end up!

    Stown,

    Just send what you need autographed and I'll get it done for you... you don't need to send me anything in return.

    Good luck on getting an auto. That custom card is sweet.

    WHOA!!

    He also signed my Heisman helmet, just below Earl's sig, but forgot my camera in the car.

    Some observations:

    1) He's not nearly as big as I was expecting. I saw him in college and the dude was a beast. Now, not so much, but he's still pretty thick.

    2) Took the time to shake hands, take pictures (for reals!), and chit chat.

    3) Very laid back, as in I'm pretty sure he was either stoned or found his zen.

    4) Just an absolute pleasure to speak with. Humble, smiled a lot, and would say "thank you" to every compliment.

  • Ricky visits Shreveport aboutonce a month to go to the casinos. I could have got you an auto months ago if I had seen this thread. He is actually a nice guy that will allow you to take pics with him and sign autos if you have a hot wife with you.

    I agree. I got him at his first ever preseason game (along with Rickey Jackson, Archie Manning, Mike Ditka, Danny Abramowicz, Willie Roaf and Nat Moore who happened to park next to me in the parking lot and gave me an autograph despite me being painted black and gold). I also got a couple from Ricky while he was at UT. He always seemed willing to sign.

    Mucho gracias. Took two years and well worth the wait. Still have a smile on my face because I was just a tad worried Ricky would flip over the card and lose his cool.

    Stown,

    Congratulations on getting that signed. I'm sure if he'd opened a can of whup'ass on you, you wouldn't have ratted me out.
