Jerry Rice retires from football
By EDDIE PELLS, AP Sports Writer
September 5, 2005

DENVER (AP) -- Unwilling to be a bit player with the Broncos, Jerry Rice retired Monday, closing a 20-year career for the most productive receiver in NFL history.

Rice, 42, made his decision over the weekend at home in San Francisco, then returned to Broncos headquarters and met with coach Mike Shanahan. He played 20 NFL seasons.

``This is a happy day,'' he said. ``I think the tears that you see basically is that I have really enjoyed this ride.''

Shanahan confirmed what Rice already knew -- that he would be a fourth or fifth receiver, at best this season -- and Rice confirmed what many figured -- that he would rather call it quits than be a bit player with the Broncos.

It would have been nice if Shanny told him he wouldn't be the #3 WR and he made his decision before making the final cuts. :x

But still:

defiently in our time period...as in 1960 on. he dominated his position, better than any other player in their position. he has recieving records that will probably never be touched. and it is easier to break NFL records now a days with expansion. kinda wierd i watched a game last night that i taped. i believe it was 1997 niners vs dallas. jerry vs deion. expected to be a great matchup. jerry lit deion up.
