Rice sacked from NFC Pro Bowl squad


Sunday, February 8, 2004




HONOLULU (AP) — Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice was removed from the NFC Pro Bowl team Saturday for disciplinary reasons.

Green Bay defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila will replace Rice on the NFC roster.

Rice, a second-team All-Pro, arrived late in Hawaii and missed meetings and practices in the week leading up to today's game. Players have been known to arrive late for Pro Bowl week or miss practices in the past, but Rice was dropped by NFC coach Andy Reid.

Not exactly a class act. Pro Bowl , Schmoe Bowl, Rice don't need no stinkin' Pro Bowl. I just wonder how pissed he'd be if he was not voted on the team.

I'm sure he got some kind of bonus for making the team.It would be great if he had to forfeit it.How much of an ass do you have to be to get kicked out of an exhibition game?

He never should have called Maui an "armpit."

Classy way of representing your team... By acting like an Oakland Raider!
