Just a quick question -- why the hell won't Jerry Rice retire already? He was born during the Kennedy administration (1962) and most of his peers are already coaching or enjoying the 10th year of their retirement. He's set every single record there is to set and most of them have no chance of being touched. He's won enough Super Bowls that he'll never have to ask "What If?" and in signing with Denver today, he is now going to be playing for his third team in one calendar year. If that isn't the sign of a journeyman, I don't know what is. It's pathetic, really. Jerry, if your wife is so goddamn annoying to be around that you can't stand the thought of giving up football to be with her, have her killed. If OJ can get away with it, you can too.

I really don't know what Rice is doing, other than collecting some money. It is extremely pathetic. He's approaching Patrick Ewing (Sonics & Orlando Magic) & Rickey Henderson (the entire West Coast).
I'm going to have to pick a fight on that one. Ewing was playing out his contract in Seattle and wasn't going to walk away from $16M in his last year. His final season in NY showed that he had some game left. His 1-year deal in Orlando was more as a mentorship for Tracy McGrady than anything. Doc Rivers wanted his old teammate to come and be a defacto assistant coach. Perfectly defensible on Ewing's part to stay in the game. Rice's situation is totally different. He's neither playing out a contract or filling a sort of unofficial coaching duty.
