Rice Calls Raheem The Dream Looking For Work
January 28th, 2009As Joe told you earlier, Simeon Rice jumped on the bash-Chucky bandwagon and called his former coach a “scumbag” during a Tuesday radio interview.
But now more has come out of that interview, courtesy of a transcript obtained by Pat “Vacation Man” Yasinskas, of BSPN.com fame.
Rice took a shot at Gaines Adams and revealed he has called Raheem the Dream seeking to get back his old defensive end position.
“Monte was the truth, man,” Rice said. “Monte’s a great, classy coach. Rod Marinelli, he’s my favorite guy of all time. Mike Tomlin, great coach. Now they’ve got Raheem [Morris] who is a great person. I already called Raheem [and said], ‘Listen, I’m ready to come back and let’s do this.’ You’ve got a lot of interns at my spot right now. They had some interns a couple of years. Now they need to come back and upgrade that spot, get the real deal, put him in the game and let him go! That’s how I feel!”
Joe admits he got a laugh out of Rice seemingly referring to Adams as an intern. Not bad smack. However, a Rice return is a joke.
Rice notched a whopping one sack after the Bucs cut him following the 2006 season. His greatness must have lost all his energy leaving Tampa kicking and screaming and bitching. That and a bum shoulder make him nothing more than a Bucs trivia question.
Joe would rather see Rice revive his dream of playing professional basketball.
