And they had a "Should We?" thread on the Saints Talk just a few months ago

This may have been the kill shot. Best quality I could find. Game winning catch though. LINK

Pretty sure ST had a "Sidney Rice watch" thread before he resigned with the hawks

That's too bad, I liked him at SC and respected him as a viking.

guy had one good season as a pro and parlayed that into some decent money. BUT he was constantly injured and likely saw little of that $

Yeah that's really a shame. Although I didn't attend his HS (Gaffney) pretty much everyone in my entire family did or does go there so I remember the chatter of his skill coming out of high school from them. He put that into an awesome career at SC despite only playing 2 seasons. Irrelevant to the point but I think he scored both of our TDs in our 16-15 2005 win @UT, our first ever win in Knoxville.

I know a lot of SC fans got mad at him because he said he was coming back for a 3rd but went to the NFL because he felt he couldn't wait any longer for the money to take care of his family.

I remember him being one of the 1st guys who answered reporters in college with a "yes ma'am, no ma'am. yes sir, no sir" type.

Put together all his footage and he has quite a collection of impressive catches. A shame this happened so soon in his career.
