Lets see him pull that crap w/ gruden.....not that I'm a fan of gruden, but I think gruden would give rice a look that would make him spontaneously combust.

way to go Andy, you da man

If Andy tried a simliar look he'd appear to have to go to the bathroom.

The funniest parts of the story are that the meetings and practices weren't what got him booted from the team. Of course they are the reasons, but when Rice showed up to practice, he didn't have his shoelaces tied. That was the final straw, and Reid sent him packing! Too funny. On top of that, when he was booted from the team, the NFL was no longer picking up his tab for the room and so on, so Reid essentially booted him off the island, Survivor style.

The last straw:

QuoteReached last night in Honolulu, Rice read from a letter issued to him by Harold Henderson, chairman of the NFL Management Council, chastising the Bucs' star for arriving two days late for workouts, missing meetings, creating a disturbance in the hotel lobby and showing up at Friday's practice with his shoelaces untied.[/i]

Alright after some thought and seeing this playout, I might have overreacted. I just didn't see sending someone home as a good step by Andy, since we hopefully are looking for FA's and he is the coach. Thought it might be seen as him being more of a pud then a disciplinary coach by the players.

Dude wouldn't tie his shoelaces.

And now Gruden follows suit...

He sent Rice home from SF after he was late to a meeting.

He would be a monster upgrade over the clowns we have at LB right now.

PoopyfaceMcGee · October 31, 2005, 10:39:48 AM

He probably would be an upgrade at LB, despite the fact that he's a DE.

MadMarchHare · October 31, 2005, 10:42:34 AM

yeah, well, it's not like we don't need help there either.

rjs246 · October 31, 2005, 10:44:11 AM

Yeah!

I'm smart and stuff.
