Welcome back to TMZ Sports, Mike and Mojo.
00:07
Mojo, Jerry Rice, according to many, many football fans,
00:11
is the greatest football player to ever step foot on a field.
00:15
The NFL legend had a tense interaction
00:19
with some media members at a charity golf tournament, Mojo,
00:24
last week, late last week.
00:25
Of course, we've talked a lot about this American Century
00:30
Golf Championship going down in Lake Tahoe.
00:32
This tournament gets all of the biggest stars,
00:35
from Travis Kelsey to the aforementioned Jerry Rice.
00:40
Mojo, this interaction was caught on camera.
00:44
You're going to see here, and we're
00:46
going to show it to you in just a second,
00:48
Jerry Rice walking on the golf course
00:51
when two guys who are media members, they approach Jerry
00:55
and they ask him, which seems like a pretty harmless
00:59
question, not so much, according to Jerry.
01:02
Watch this.
01:03
Oh my god.
01:06
I'm going to take it right now, OK?
01:10
No, no, no.
01:11
I don't want to ask.
01:12
No.
01:14
If you want some, come get some.
01:16
No.
01:20
It's the craziest thing that's ever happened in my life.
01:23
Well, what did you ask him?
01:24
I asked him if the Chief's Receiving Corps was good enough
01:26
to win another Super Bowl.
01:29
The Chief's Receiving Corps was good enough
01:31
to win another Super Bowl.
01:33
Is that what he said?
01:34
He said, I don't know if that's right, man.
01:38
He didn't look at anybody else.
01:40
He was going, nope, that's it.
01:44
Maybe the sun doesn't help.
01:46
He was clearly had a drink.
01:49
He was very slurry.
01:51
Mojo, I talked to Jerry Rice.
01:54
Friday afternoon.
01:55
And I asked him, hey, what happened?
01:58
Guess what Jerry Rice said.
01:59
Jerry Rice said, Mojo, they asked him if the Chief's wide receivers
02:02
were good enough to win another Super Bowl next year.
02:05
And Jerry then, and this is one of the quotes that he gave me,
02:08
I'm going to defend the San Francisco 49ers.
02:11
This is my history.
02:13
Jerry then went on to say that he thought that the 49ers fans
02:16
would love the reaction.
02:17
Might be the case.
02:19
I don't know.
02:20
I haven't seen many 49ers fans weighing in on the reaction here.
02:24
A lot of people talking about the video.
02:26
Maybe they love it.
02:27
Maybe they don't.
02:28
I am shocked, though, Mojo, that Jerry Rice seemed to be,
02:31
I don't know, be that set off by an innocuous, in my mind,
02:35
at least, an innocuous question.
02:37
Babcock, can we take one more look at him walking up to this
02:41
interviewer?
02:42
I got to analyze this walk.
02:44
I mean, are we looking upset here?
02:47
You think he's ticked off from something earlier because I was
02:50
wondering.
02:51
It's a charity golf tournament.
02:53
Maybe he's playing like crap.
02:54
Maybe he feels like he let down the charity with his play and he
02:58
just was in a really bad mood prior to this because I don't
03:03
understand how that question could be the one thing that makes
03:09
Jerry Rice, of all people, lose his cool.
03:12
I mean, we are talking about a guy who,
03:15
as far as I'm aware, never gets into trouble,
03:19
that had no issues whatsoever.
03:23
That is the epitome of cool, calm,
03:26
and collected.
03:27
I mean, that's certainly how he played on the football for all
03:30
those years, putting up those numbers and breaking all those
03:33
records.
03:34
So, something is absolutely not adding up.
03:38
Right.
03:39
And they obviously lost to the Chiefs.
03:41
So, I understand there might be a little sensitivity there,
03:43
Mojo.
03:44
But yeah, I mean, Jerry, he even literally said to me,
03:46
Mojo, he said, wouldn't you be upset like this if somebody
03:49
questioned your football team?
03:51
Not really.
03:52
Not really.
03:53
Did you tell him no?
03:55
I did.
03:56
I made a joke.
03:57
But yeah.
03:58
Essentially, yeah, that's what I said.
04:01
I wouldn't have this reaction.
04:03
You know, I mean, it's football.
04:06
I mean, it's a game at the end of the day.
04:09
I don't know, Mojo.
04:10
I guess the one silver lining here is that Jerry walked away
04:13
and thankfully there was this guy here to keep the peace and
04:17
Jerry went amongst, you know, went in one direction.
04:21
The guys stayed where they were and there was nothing physical
04:23
that came from this.
04:24
I will also say, Mojo, that it seemed like this didn't ruin
04:27
Jerry's day.
04:28
He actually went out later that night and there is Jerry Rice
04:32
dancing only a few hours after this incident happened at one of
04:36
the local clubs.
04:37
So, he was having a good time.
04:39
Mojo, Jerry looks forward to this.
04:41
And I know that for a fact because we have seen him at the
04:44
American Century Championship going back years,
04:48
almost a decade ago.
04:50
And this is one of my favorite videos that we've ever had here
04:52
at TMC Sports.
04:53
There is Jerry Rice who was like,
04:55
you know, 51, 52 at the time, taking off his shirt,
04:58
still in tremendous shape by the way,
05:00
and dancing with a lady on stage at the same tournament.
05:05
So, he loves this.
05:06
He has fun.
05:07
And then he almost got into a fight on the golf course,
05:10
Mojo.
05:11
So, I don't know how he tops next year's tournament.
05:14
We'll see.
