There was a massage parlor incident some years back, but I don't think it was found to be credible.
Not the most naturally talented reciever, but by far the most dedicated and hardest working. One can question "the best ever" at other positions, no question here.
One of the best plays I saw Rice ever make was an 80+ yard td reception he made against the Cowboys in the '92 NFC championship game. It was very pretty. It was also called back due to a motion penalty against the Niners. Dallas went on to win the game and Super Bowl 27. I loved it. :) :) :)
