He told NJ.com on Thursday he knows he probably wont get another opportunity.I dont want to ever say Im giving up, because thats never going to be me, Rice said before playing in Boomer Esiason and Craig Cartons charity softball game. Im happy. Im in the best shape of my life, and I know if it doesnt happen this year, its probably something I have to deal with. But you know what? Its not the end of my life.I know that the window for playing is closing. But if my window closes, Im going to make sure I open up a thousand more opportunities for kids, to give them an opportunity to pick up where I left off. Thats where Im at. Ive got three Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl. Theres a lot of people that cant go out there and do what I did. But I dont want it to end that way, its safe to say.Rice was suspended indefinitely by the NFL in September 2014 and was released by the Ravens when a video surfaced of him punching his then-fiancee in an elevator.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Zinedine Zidane is one match away from coaching Real Madrid to a new unbeaten record.When Zidane replaced Rafa Benitez midway through last season, the inexperienced former midfield standout got off to an auspicious start with a 5-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna.Eleven months and one Champions League title later, Madrid faces Deportivo again at home on Saturday with the chance of surpassing its longest unbeaten run since the club was founded in 1902.On Wednesday, Madrid equaled a club record of 34 games without a loss set in 1989 under coach Leo Beenhakker when it drew 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund.Its important to continue to make history and continue our good run, Zidane said after the match. I dont think its very important for me to leave my mark. What interests me the most is to continue with this great run that were on.Last season, when Real Madrid president Florentino Perez tapped Zidane to take over a struggling team, the decision smelled of desperation.A fan favorite from his playing days as part of Madrids galaticos bunch, Zidane was promoted from coaching the reserve team to take over a side that was lurching from one embarrassing episode to the next.Madrids 2015-16 campaign had started with Perez flubbing his play to sign away Manchester United goalie David de Gea. The team was then disqualified from the Copa de Rey for fielding an illegible player, and it endured a 4-0 defeat from Barcelona at home as it failed to click with Benitez.Perez needed to make an impact move. But instead of searching for a veteran manager, he charged the unproven Zidane with turning around Madrids group of talented underachievers.At first, the team remained erratic, and even looked set to bow out of the Champions League after a shocking 2-0 loss at German side Wolfsburg.But that defeat on April 6 proved to be a catalyst. The team hasnt lost since, recovering to claim its 11th European Cup and almostt nip Barcelona for the Spanish league crown, before roaring out to lead la Liga this season.dddddddddddd.Zidane, whose top-tier coaching experience had been limited to his stint as an assistant under Carlo Ancelotti, has now reached the half-century mark as head manager. During that 50-match period, he has overseen 37 wins, 11 draws and only two losses. That other loss came at Atletico Madrid in February.The players have to be congratulated. Theyre the ones out on the pitch, its them who run, fight and dig in, Zidane said. We also have to thank the fans, who always get behind the team and support us. Theyve got to take some credit for what the team is achieving.Gifted with world-class stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, Zidane focused on getting more from Madrids supporting cast. He put a new emphasis on defense in his midfield by favoring Mateo Kovacic and Casemiro over flashier playmakers James Rodriguez and Francisco Isco Alarcon, and he has helped the little-known Lucas Vazquez blossom into an important piece of its attack.(Zidane) has gotten us to work hard and for things to go well for us, and that is paying off with this run of 34 unbeaten games, defender Dani Carvajal said. Everyone on the team has words of praise for him.Whereas the draw with Dortmund was disappointing because it cost Madrid a first-place finish in its Champions League group, its 1-1 stalemate earned last weekend at Barcelona tasted of victory. The clasico draw kept Madrid six points clear of Barcelona at the top of the Spanish table.After it plays Deportivo, Madrid heads to Japan for the Club World Cup.If Zidane sets the new club mark, his next goal would be the milestone held by Barcelona under counterpart Luis Enrique, whose 39-game unbeaten run was ended by Madrid last April.
