Title: It's official, Jerry Rice is old
Post by: Sandman on September 20, 2004, 10:01:33 AM

A catch every game... that has been the norm for the past 20 years. That streak ended yesterday.

Read about the tantrum (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=knight-ricesstreakendsinraidersw&prov=knight&type=lgns).

Kinda sad...

Rice and a few other guys were trying to shake it off afterwards, saying "I'll [he'll] just start another one and beat it."

Considering that the last time he didn't catch a ball was in '85, I don't like his chances.

What exactly were you talking about?

His contributions to Raider offense have been notable.

He was done, Jerry Rice as anything as 49er is just wrong... Especially as a Raider..

It's just a jersey. Players gotta eat.

FWIW, it didn't seem to trouble Rice too awful much to wear black.

I'm sure the Rice family was living paycheck to paycheck when he left the niners. :)
