Bucs OL Mike Williams is rumored to be very interested in pursuing a career in the National Hockey League. Williams' agent, Ronald McDonald, has placed some calls to Philadelphia Flyers GM Bobby Clarke in hopes of getting Big Mike a tryout to be a part of the Flyers blue line in 2006-2007.
Said Williams: "As I watched the Buffalo Sabres dismantle the Flyers, it is clear that Bobby Clarke is in love with big slow defenseman, and I grew up always wishing I could try to be a professional hockey player. Hey Manute Bol tried it, why can't I? Bobby Clarke could not be reached for comment, although Clarke has been spotted at various pubs throughout the city of Philadelphia today. "Bobby asked for a liquid lunch and he was full of rage when he asked" said one bartender who chose not to be named.
