DENVER (Aug. 15, 2005) -- Jerry Rice moved up the Denver depth chart, running as the No. 3 receiver at Broncos practice, ahead of Darius Watts.
Rice was already considered a near shoo-in to make the roster and continue his record-setting career into a 21st season. The move only serves to confirm that fact.
After practice, the veteran receiver continued with a theme he set when he signed with the Broncos: that he is simply trying to prove himself and make the team.
"I pretty much approach every season never thinking about what I accomplished the year before," Rice said.
Rice was limited in practice much of last week with a sore foot. He played briefly in the preseason game against the Texans and caught one pass for six yards. He is expected to play more when the Broncos face Rice's first team, the San Francisco 49ers.
Was he happy to move up the depth chart?
"I'm just happy to be on the football field," the 42-year-old receiver said.

Thanks for the ping!
no problem :)
it seems that asphalt got canned for a while so I am helping out...
How many Monday Night games does Denver have? On Monday Night Football, Rice is still the best in the game.
Yeah. I sent a freepmail to JimRob requesting his suspension be temporary as opposed to permanent, and acknowledging I didn't know all the details, but from having seen him around he hangs out on sports threads and doesn't seem much like a troll.
only one:

from what I was told, he supposedly had multiple screen names....
Jerry Rice in anything but the number 80 looks weird.
yeah it does....
The wierdest thing I've seen in sports was Harold Carmichael in a Cowboys uniform. Thought the world had stopped with that.
