Three-time Super Bowl champion Jerry Rice was caught telling off a pair of reporters at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, as he threatened to use violence on the both of them.
Rice, 61, was at the practice round of the American Century Championship with an array of high-profile athletes, including Jason and Travis Kelce, Blake Griffin and Aaron Rodgers, when two Kansas City-based media members asked him about the Chiefs’ 2024 wide receiving options on Friday.
The reporters claimed that all they wanted to know was whether Patrick Mahomes’ wideouts this year were ‘good enough to win another Super Bowl.’
At first, Rice turned his back on the duo after briefly talking to them, but viral footage posted by TMZ on social media shows the former 49ers star charge back at the men seconds later and getting into their faces.
At one point, Rice – a Pro Football Hall of Famer – can be heard yelling to one of the guys: ‘I will f*** you up!’
He then advised both reporters that, ‘If you want some, come get some!’ before disengaging from the squabble.
Baffled, the two media members told other attendees at the charity tournament that what had happened was ‘the craziest thing that’s ever happened in my life.’
But, according to TMZ, Rice was convinced that both reporters were out to get him with their questions at the golf outing.
The former, two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year told the outlet that he took the queries as a dig on his former Niners squad and insisted that the men smirked at him while fully knowing how Rice, who played 16 seasons in San Francisco, would react.
What’s more is that the 49ers narrowly lost to the Chiefs (25-22) in Super Bowl LVIII in February
