Did you actually follow Rice in his best years, with the 49ers, of course? I did, and I started out really liking him, but after awhile, his whining about not getting the ball enough, jealousy of Joe, complaining about Steve because the ball came to him with opposite spin, then jealousy of TO of all people, gradually wore me down to the point where I couldn't stand him anymore. Now, I change channels if he comes on as a commentator or sidekick on a 49ers wrap show or something. One other thing, Moss is funny to listen to in his own way, but doesn't blow his own horn, instead talking about how great it is to be a Patriot, and how great Brady is. Rice is still me, me, me, and he's also, to tell you the truth, kind of stupid sounding.
Nobody's perfect (except Tom Brady
) but I'll take Moss's act any day over Rice's. Moss is what he is, and that's not a phony. The other guy, well, I don't think I need to say it.
