NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice had a heated exchange with reporters from Starcade Media during a recent golf event at the American Century Championship. The confrontation occurred when the reporters questioned Rice about the Kansas City Chiefs’ receiving core’s capability to secure another Super Bowl victory.
Rice, visibly agitated, warned the reporters with strong words, “I will mess you up,” and further challenged them, “If you want some, come get some!” This incident was captured and shared by TMZ Sports, showing Rice’s intense reaction as he walked away from the scene.
The reporters were left stunned, describing the encounter as one of their craziest experiences. They later clarified their intentions, stating they meant no disrespect to Rice or the San Francisco 49ers. Their goal was to gather insights from one of the greatest receivers in NFL history about the Chiefs’ potential for future success, especially after a challenging season.
Rice, a legendary figure for the 49ers, expressed his protective stance over his team’s legacy, explaining to TMZ, “I’m going to defend the San Francisco 49ers. This is my history.”
The exchange highlighted the ongoing rivalry between the 49ers and the Chiefs, especially following the Chiefs’ victories over the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV and LVIII, the latter occurring just five months before the incident.
