NEW YORK (AP) - Ricky Williams insists the Miami Dolphins' dismal season isn't his fault.
"That's their problem ... It's not my problem anymore," Williams told 60 Minutes in an interview to air Sunday on CBS. "I played as hard as I could whenever I put that uniform on, but I'm not doing that anymore, you know? I moved on."
The Dolphins are 2-11 this season. Williams, 27, stunned his team by retiring shortly before Miami opened training camp in July.
"I didn't know ahead of time or I would have given them a clue," he said.
Williams said a third failed drug test made him retire because he was "scared to death" that people would find out he smoked marijuana.
"The thing I had the most trouble with was that after you fail your third test, then it becomes public knowledge," said Williams in the interview, parts of which will also be shown on CBS' Sunday pregame show "The NFL Today." "That's one thing I couldn't deal with at the time - people knowing that I smoke marijuana. That was my biggest fear in my whole entire life."
