Simeon Rice really wants to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Simeon Rice sure has had an interesting few days. The defensive end was always a bit eccentric when he was still playing, and that hasn’t changed in his retirement — which is now nearly a decade long. Recently, Rice has been complaining that the Pro Football Hall of Fame hasn’t given him any kind of attention.

There’s something to that: Rice was arguably the most dominant pass-rusher in the league at the peak of his career, and his 122 total sacks are really impressive. He was also a key part of the Bucs’ dominant 2002 defense, and perhaps the one component that got them over the top and into the Super Bowl.
