''Can't nobody check me,'' Rison told reporters after his first practice with the Raiders on Monday. ''I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. I worked my tail off during this offseason. I came in here last night, got my playbook and was up until 3:30 a.m. (studying). I've rededicated myself not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well.''
Uhh, sure 'Dre. And like you said, last year was your best year ever. Maybe if you make 19 catches this year you can top last year. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif
Also Dan Pompei on the Rison release:
The Chiefs' release of receiver Andre Rison has been in the works since last season, when Rison began to show signs of age. He went from being a difference maker to a possession receiver, and the Chiefs didn't want to cut or sit a young receiver in order to keep him.
Chiefs management also figured if Rison had been asked to accept a lesser role, he would have become a problem. Even as a starter, he was known for being mouthy in the locker room and constantly late. . . .
