Apparently, Ricky Williams was invited to be a guest on Cedric Benson's boat on May 3, but Williams declined. Benson just happened to be charged with boating while intoxicated after failing a sobriety test and resisting arrest in an alleged struggle with officers.
Williams says he wishes he would have accepted the invitation. He believes he could have been a "calming" influence.
It's nice that Williams, long versed in the art of yoga, has the confidence in himself to be a peacemaker. It's a great trait to have.
But Williams should be thankful that he wasn't on the boat. Williams doesn't need any more issues. The fact that he stayed away from the party boat is a great sign for Williams. He needs to stay away. You think Bill Parcells would be thrilled if news broke that Williams was on that boat, even if he was in the role of peacemaker?
Williams has to distance himself from trouble as much as possible.
