So, it's come to this. Jerry Rice, unhappy with being underutilized on a bad team, is going to be traded for a conditional seventh-round pick. Guess he'll be joining the list of woeful veterans who are signing with a contender in the twilight of their career to try to get that elusive ring before they retire.
Just kidding.
But that's partly the point I'm going to try to make. No one has to convince me that Jerry Rice is leaps and bounds ahead of any receiver ever in the Greatest in History vote (although I have visions of Randy Moss giving Rice a run for his money some day). Some have even suggested Rice is the greatest player ever, period. He's got the rings. He's got the records. He's got the respect. What is he trying to prove?
Time to hang 'em up.
