Sup Mr. Rice, Who is the best pass rushin DE right now? How about Derrick Burgess when he is healthy? By the way if you had the chance would sack John Gruden?
Simeon Rice
Jon is cool. Things were blown way out of proportion. As for the best pass rusher in the league right now, I'll go with Demarcus Ware. Burgess is good too.
Also, check out my artist Yashionline.com. Let me know what you think. -

Simeon, You once referred to the Arizona Cardinals as the "armpit" of the NFL. Do you still hold that view of the organization, or do you believe the culture has improved their since you left (enough so that you would be willing to play there again if you were a free agent in your prime today.
