semiotter Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 So now he has to wait longer to get into to the Hall now, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 So now he has to wait longer to get into to the Hall now, right?I don't think his time is that big of a concern. He wanted to retire and go into the Hall as a 49er. He'll be a first timer...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBenBlows Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Just like Emmitt Smith did with Dallas. IMO the team didn't want you but hey, lets sign you for one day and then you can retire. It's kind of a slap in the face if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of a slap in the face if you ask me. It's not a slap in the face, it allows the player to go out the way they want to and there is no two ways about Rice retiring as a 49er... Wouldn't you want Kenny Anderson to retire as a Bengal had he left the last few seasons of his career ?? I like it...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacD BengalFan Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I guess people would have rather he retired as a Raider or a Bronco where he never even made the playoffs instead of as a 9er where he won 4 Super Bowl Rings. It is an honor for the team to take him back so he can retire in the appropiate uniform, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semiotter Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah when you think of Rice he is a 49er. , and Emmitt is a Cowboy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBenBlows Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 All valid points and yes to me he will always be a niner. Emmitt will always be a cowboy too. I think it IS nice of the teams to welcome back these players. But the teams didn't want them when they started to become has-bens. Thats all I"m saying.
