Simeon Rice Says He’s A “Super Hero With No One To Save”

Former NFL defensive end Simeon Rice wants to drop the “former.” And he’s telling anyone who’ll listen. Unfortunately, the group of curious ears has yet to include one or more of the 32 franchise that constitute the league. Most recently, Rice made his case for a comeback on Sporting News Radio’s The Monty Show. “I’m really in playoff shape right now, it’s bananas that I’m not on a team right now,” Rice said. “It’s great in a way but its frustrating. I feel like a freak of nature, like a super hero with no one to save.” Specifically, Rice wants to save the Bears. (Maybe he plays receiver now.) “That’d be a nice situation, you’ve got Rod Marinelli up there and it’s a good situation if it can get around that way,” Rice said. It’s not clear if the Bears are interested. Apparently, however, other as-yet-unknown teams are. “I talked to my agent two days ago and he said we’ve got some takers that’s been calling and that’s a good thing,” Rice said. “It’s like a surgeon that goes through medical school and prepares and starts putting the work in and doing his rotations and not having anywhere to place the skills. And my skill set is sharp, my ability is as good as it’s ever been, talent wise I haven’t lost anything and now all I have to do is just add my talent, my ability, my thirst for the game to a team that wants to do something special. I mean I’m talking about doing something special this season man.” He might very well do something special this season. But it might very well happen in the UFL.
