The One & Only Simeon Rice
December 8th, 2012
Rice ripped off sacks like few others in the history of the game, and definitely was among the unique NFL characters of all-time. “I was unblockable,” Rice said today recollecting the 2002 Super Bowl champs.
Who else starts an interview with “What’s up playboy? What’s good?” That’s how wild, wacky, intelligent and football-nasty former Bucs defensive end Simeon Rice opened an interview with J.P. Peterson on WDAE-AM 620 this afternoon.
Rice is always a fun and intelligent listen. Asked who tried to block him during the Super Bowl, Rice said, “It was a white guy.” … “I’m one of those people who compartmentalize. I move forward. So a lot of that, it’s a blur now. Like some guys remember everything. Me, I went out there. I wanted to make a point. I wanted to show I was the best defensive end in the game. I played that way. I trained that way.”
Rice went on to say he put away his Super Bowl ring when he got it and hasn’t touched it since.
Enjoy Rice and Peterson below.

Rice was a great pass rushing DE. I don’t think he would have been as great without the excellent tackling behind him. Not much of a run stopper and he has about as much humility as a WWE wrestler.

I don’t suppose he has a son coming out in the draft next year?

Good to see and hear from my all time favorite Buc.
I’ll bet he wouldn’t last a day working for the Little General.

If you look at the league its filled with pass rushers that all have that prototype simeon rice build.. JPP, Aldon Smith, Super Mario etc.

Perhaps one of the most underrated and underappreciated DEs of all-time. A fantastic upfield speed pass rusher and an extremely underrated run defender, even by fans of his own team.
