The two journalists who work for Starcade Media released a statement on the matter...

quote:
"We meant absolutely no disrespect to Jerry or the 49ers when asking this question," they said. They added that they'd love the opportunity to discuss things further with the Hall of Famer.

As for the question that ignited the confrontation ... the guys posted a video showing they asked, "Do the Chiefs have a good enough receiver core to win again?"

Maybe this guy is a click bait artist who chased Jerry all over the course asking dumb questions all day and Jerry finally had enough?

Context matters.

Parrish_Dawg•22 months

Exactly. There's very little chance Rice went ballistic just because of one specific question. If he was baiting him, he deserved to get the shite scared out of him.

Lost a lot of respect for Rice after watching this incident. He needs to go change his tampon, so he won't be so moody!

Try having the media hound you wherever you go when you are just trying to relax and have a good time and see how long you can last before you go off the rails.

Why would Jerry Rice give a d*mn about the Chief’s receiver corps?

19•22 months

Maybe because he's one of the best to ever play the position, and his evaluation is relevant.

Savagetiger65•22 months

Let this guy play his effing round! Pluck people who want to interrupt and shite!!

19•22 months

I want to agree, but he was very much between strokes if not holes. It ain't like he was farting in JR'S backswing.

chadr07•22 months

Yes but these people just want to be left alone and live a normal life like everyone else. I wouldn’t want to deal with that bull crap all the time either. Especially if I was retired.

Speedy G•22 months

Sorry, but that is part of the deal that comes with fame and fortune.

ScrappyDoo•22 months

Jerry Rice is the coolest athlete I've ever met while out squirreling around in DC with some of my Soldiers. There's definitely more to it than they are showing.

ImBatman•22 months

Jerry Rice is just like the 49ers fans. But of stupid crybaby hot heads.

24chevrolet48•22 months

He never seem to be the Aggressive type celeb as much as I can remember.. But he sure lost control and was ugly with this question asker. Interested to see if they have a follow-up story to the story.

DeafVallyBatnR•22 months

Been a lot of story's over the years about how unmarketable Jerry is. In fact when he was still playing he could not get advertising gigs like the other 49ers.

Jyrdis•22 months

Jerry Rice is soft as shite.

SeeeeK•22 months

A little detail about event, or situation would been nice from video. Was it a 49'er golf tourney? Was he just out on the links playing with friends. Details details details. Then i'll pounce.

bengalman•22 months

Stupid arse question and a jackass of a response/reaction right there. Context needed

CanebreakCajun•22 months

You just said Rice's reaction was a jackass response and that context is needed. Huh?

blackandgolddude•22 months

Not pictured: The "reporters" following him around, heckling him all day until he reacts this way

DeafVallyBatnR•22 months

Didn't look like a reporter. Looked like just a guy asking a question.

dbbuilder79•22 months

But will he be wearing his breathing strip while "fricking them up"?

Chad4Bama•22 months

How dare they assume Jerry Rice knows anything about receivers!

KennabraTiger•22 months

Corps, seems like nobody gets this right

19•22 months

Jerry got knocked around too long. Sad.

Gorilla Ball•22 months

I remember the time I saw Jerry Rice hitting on a young lady in the pro shop at half moon bay GC. I lost total respect for that guy

CrystalPreserves•22 months

I ride with Rice on this one.
Some of those little shitheads need their asses whupped

bcoop199•22 months

That question was pretty benign.

faraway•22 months

Clark14•22 months

Clark14•22 months
