I was one of those who just couldn't stomach the hype.

It’s classic CFL fan inferiority complex.
It was the hype that was evidence of the inferiority complex of Toronto sports fans. "A big star American football player coming to play here?!"

Ricky Williams carried the ball 109 times for 526 yards with an average of 4.83 yards per carry and caught 19 passes for 127 yards in 11 games. So alright but not really good.

Yeah, there's that. Gashing his Achilles tendon on a door might not have helped his averages. I wish he'd stayed another year so that we might have seen what he could do.
