True there's definitely something going on with him, but at least for myself, I didn't find that to be the main message of the show. What I found was they were trying to portray him as this misunderstood genius, who just doesn't "fit in" with our North American society, especially the glamour/aggression of pro sports. I also got the impression he sees himself as moraly superior to most other NFL players/athletes. Yet, as even his commonlaw wife points out, he still sleeps around like a lot of athletes, and has that athlete ego.

On top of that, I don't care if deep down you are a nice guy, its your actions that define you. Repeatedly taking drugs when you know it could cost you your job and hurt your team (reckless / irresponsible), quitting on your team 2 weeks before TC, when doing it earlier would've at least allowed them to look for another RB at the draft or FA (selfish - I think a lot of us would love to just drop everything & take a year off and go travel the world to discover more about ourselves, but for most of us, the pressures of life get in the way), being a bad teammate, at least according to several Saints players during his time there (when then rookie Saints RB Deuce McAllister looked at Ricky for guidance, he basically said Ricky blew him off every time - again, selfish). Oh, wait I forgot, he's misunderstood. Poor guy.

I dunno, I just wasn't buying what they were selling in that documentary. Still very well done, I enjoyed it, he's definitely an interesting character. I just didn't sympathize with him, aside from the stuff about his dad.
