TAMPA — It has come to this. Forty-three year-old Simeon Rice, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2007, says he wants to come back and help the Bucs rush the quarterback.

He's serious.

Rice already is on the Bucs' Mount Rushnomore, right there with Lee Roy Selmon and Warren Sapp.

But for 10 games and 10 games only, he's willing to come out of retirement, put away the gold watch and clean someone else's clock.
