For my boya Sim Rice!!!
Can anyone out there explain why I can't get a gig these days? I have one major injury in a stellar 12yr career and I get bumped out of Tampa because Chuckie and I didn't see eye to eye. I can admit that I came back from the injury to soon in Denver do to my pride (gave back the money because I felt I didn't earn it but I'm labeled a snob) and in Indy (was baffled that they let me go without getting a full chance to shine but I understand the negative vibe surrounding me) . Now, all of a sudden I can't play anymore? WOW! The league is very fickle, it's obvious especially in my case and in others like Dante Culpepper's. I worked out at a pro-day and personally for a few teams and to my understanding did my thing in those workouts. Then I get word that personnel people say I seemed uninterested! But yet when I ask around I can't get any straight answers from the people I played and worked with over the years so I'm flustered! No disrespect to my peers but no one has put up the numbers I have consistently at DE, no not even Strahan or Taylor. My name was hardly mentioned once during the Jason Taylor trade from a statistical stand point! A hand-full of print media and once on ESPN they mentioned my stats compared to his because they had to. This may sound like the brash Simeon Rice people know me for being but you tell me who's stats are better among my contemporaries? My teammates knew me for being the last one out on the field doing the extra work and bustin' my ass during practice and in games! I've put to much work in throughout my career for it to be this way but I guess these are the breaks in the What have you done for me lately League?
