Hall of Famer Jerry Rice threatened to rough a pair of Kansas City-based reporters on a golf course Thursday after they asked him a question about the Chiefs' 2024 wide receiver core...

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?"

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Everybody who thinks he's being soft, imagine if you played football at LSU, saw them go to the Nati against Bama. Were up against Bama and they come back at the end. Much like Nov 2012 game but a Nati and you played for LSU. You'd be pissed too.

Not gonna lie, I was a student at the time in the student section Nov 2012. Was so pissed after the game and saw an arrogant Bama fan, started talking shite back, and started shoving, smoked him square in the face. I was fuming after that game.

Typical LSU fan. Y’all brag all the time about how when LSU fans jump in our faces yelling tiger bait and other bs we should just take it and it’s all in good fun but when someone does it to you….thats why everyone says your fan base sucks.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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