Did their wr's beat us or was it Gore? Or was it Dante Hall giveing them a gift in fg range. It sure wasnt Darrell Jackson. Plus we had zero pass rush last year something we will fix with either Long or Gholston.

From Rotoworld:

Issac Bruce-WR-***** Mar. 12 - 5:30 pm et

The ***** have decided against issuing Isaac Bruce the No. 80.
Bruce never asked for Jerry Rice's old number, but the ***** decided it wasn't a good idea to even offer it. They'll probably retire the number after Rice is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He'll be eligible in 2010.

Jerry Rice has a reputation of being a stand up guy. Hes not saving face, hes being himself.
