Jerry Rice Curses At Reporters At Recent Celebrity Golf Tournament

A confrontation took place between former NFL player, Jerry Rice and a couple of reporters where the Hall of Famer was heard telling one of them that he would “f**k him up.

TMZ Sports showed the video of the incident that happened at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada on July 11. The footage reveals the two reporters asking Rice a question and the former wide receiver was not happy with the pair by the look of the video. He tells one of the  men, “I will f**k you up!” and as he is seen walking away, he shouts back, “If you want some, come get some!”

Rice stated he felt they were being disrespectful asking them a question about the Kansas City Chiefs who, earlier this year, beat the team he played for the San Francisco 49ers (25–22) in the Super Bowl. He noted that the men asked the question with “smirks on their faces” knowing it would piss him off.

“I’m going to defend the San Francisco 49ers,” he told the media outlet. “This is my history.”

The two men, Noah Gronniger & Clint Switzer of Starcade Media did respond to the incident in a social media post on July 12, a day after the confrontation.

“We meant absolutely no disrespect to Jerry or the 49ers when asking this question as we have a profound respect for the great players that have played this game, especially (in our opinion) the greatest receiver of all time.”

The men explained that they were not trying to ” elicit a negative reaction” when approaching Rice and stated they had no smirks on their faces when posing the question. No apologies were offered, but they stated they were open to speaking to Rice to “clear the air” about what took place that day. They also offered another video that shows Rice calling one of them “an a**hole.”
