Couldn't they let him catch just one more, for old times' sake?..........

The man was a dedicated professional and probably the greatest receiver of all time. Never heard of any off-the-field problems either.

That's all well and good, but I prefer her as a National Security Advisor.

Sure. As long as Roy Williams gets to pop him after the catch.

Only that dancing with the stars thing.

He can still play better than most recievers out there. Especially on Monday night.

Her career as a 49er was limited. Although she had the hands, the height and the reach she could not take a hit from a 245 pound linebacker.

Jerry Rice = son of a bricklayer.

South40 = son of a bricklayer.

I'm pretty sure the comparisons end there.

Jerry Rice - A class act if there ever was one.

Great but arrogant receiver. He still fumbled in that 1999 Packers/Niners Wildcard playoff game damnit.

Excellent move. I'll always remember those years.

It's not like we'll have any more like that with the present ownership...

I wonder if he gets the league minimum for that.
