Chucky's gone and Simeon Rice wants back in. Rice says he's already called Raheem Morris to tell him to sign the "real deal."

As Joe told you earlier, Simeon Rice jumped on the bash-Chucky bandwagon and called his former coach a “scumbag” during a Tuesday radio interview. 

But now more has come out of that interview, courtesy of a transcript obtained by Pat “Vacation Man” Yasinskas, of BSPN.com fame.

Rice took a shot at Gaines Adams and revealed he has called Raheem the Dream seeking to get back his old defensive end position.

“Monte was the truth, man,” Rice said. “Monte’s a great, classy coach. Rod Marinelli, he’s my favorite guy of all time. Mike Tomlin, great coach. Now they’ve got Raheem [Morris] who is a great person. I already called Raheem [and said], ‘Listen, I’m ready to come back and let’s do this.’ You’ve got a lot of interns at my spot right now. They had some interns a couple of years. Now they need to come back and upgrade that spot, get the real deal, put him in the game and let him go! That’s how I feel!”

Joe admits he got a laugh out of Rice seemingly referring to Adams as an intern. Not bad smack. However, a Rice return is a joke.

Rice notched a whopping one sack after the Bucs cut him following the 2006 season. His greatness must have lost all his energy leaving Tampa kicking and screaming and bitching. That and a bum shoulder make him nothing more than a Bucs trivia question.

Joe would rather see Rice revive his dream of playing professional basketball.
