Simeon Rice is Back

[1 Crazy Commish]

ORLANDO -- Simeon Rice has carried the chip on his shoulder for so long that it became a standard part of his football uniform.

It's a boulder now.

Rice, a 12-year NFL veteran and three-time Pro Bowl selection, began practice this week with the New York Sentinels of the startup United Football League, confident of regaining the form that once made him one of the game's most dangerous defensive ends.

"I have some unfinished business,'' Rice said from outside the Citrus Bowl, where the Florida Tuskers and the Sentinels share training-camp facilities. "I've done it all, but I never felt like I got the credit I deserved. So I'm coming back to get that. This is my road back.''

Surely they test these guys for drugs?

I've heard Simeon talk about returning many times before. He was so damn good in his prime here in Tampa. Hands down the best DE that we've had of our generation. Not sure what he has left though. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does.
