Outshined Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I really think he should get an automatic bid into the Hall. Why should he have to wait 5 years? Just like Gretztky in Hockey, they have a 3 year waiting list before eligibility, but they waived it and he was in the same year he retired. I don't see why they can't waive that rule in this case.

PaulOttCarruth Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 One stat you'll never hear about but is just amazing --- he only lost 10 fumbles in his career. 967974[/snapback] His 11th came in the 1999 NFC wildcard game vs. the Packers on the final drive, which ended with a Terrell Owens TD that should've never happened. Rice fumbled, but got the non-call because the immortal Jerry Rice never fumbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
