Title: Goodbye to a Legend
Post by Callie on Aug 19^th, 2006, 5:51pm

Not exactly new news, except for when it will be.

RICE TO RETIRE - AGAIN (http://www.sportinglife.com/nfl/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=international_feed/06/08/19/GRIDIRON_USA-Rice.html)

The 49ers said in a statement that Rice officially will retire on November 19, when the team faces the Seattle Seahawks, with whom he played his final NFL games in 2004.

and...

"I'm excited to return to San Francisco to retire as a 49er," Rice said.

"This was my home for many years and this is where so many memories were made. I thank the entire 49ers organization for the opportunity to stand on the field to say goodbye."

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought someone had died. I mean, Jerry Rice? Goodbye? C'mon... we're going to see him all the time now as he begins his tour of the reality shows...

First it was Dancing with the Stars... what's next? (Survivor has already had one ex-NFLer on the show...)
