There are arguments in other sports about who's "The GOAT" but Jerry is undeniably "The GOAT" of the NFL

[@valerieumphenour3565]

Really? Ever heard of Brady?

[@mg19cal]

@@valerieumphenour3565 who?

[@corysmith4361]

He is the best wide receiver ever, to most. Some people say Randy Moss.

[@thegoat164]

@@valerieumphenour3565 The most overrated player in SPORTS HISTORY, yeah I've heard of him.

[@scotttild]

@@valerieumphenour3565 I take Montana over Brady 10 time and 20 on Sunday any day of the week. Brady played when you get a glance and they get 15 yards. I would have liked to see what Montana would have been able to do with those rules.

Jerry Rice best player I’ve ever seen in NFL!

I agree him and Lawrence Taylor

We need a Jerry Rice movie already. 49ers!

[@mrgjg]

This is a man who's comfortable in his own skin. Just a delightful guy.

[@drew1652]

Jerry Rice the 🐐!

[@YouthIncSports]

Yes he is!

[@frankcouste4785]

What a class act. If only we all had that attitude

[@yengyang1939]

I had a chance to meet Jerry Rice 3x in Chicago from 2021, 2022 and 2023 at 3 different autograph shows. All 3 times he was so kind to me and my family. What unforgettable experiences. Rice is my personal favorite WR of all-time and such a cool guy in person.

[@U4Eye]

Jerry is ALWAYS at the 49er games at Levi Stadium 👀🏈. He wears a large necklace with a football on it.

[@jerrycooperman4691]

Rice is such a class guy.

[@YouthIncSports]

100%

[@vernonleewarren280]

No doubt

[@biggtastee2401]

If you didn't SEE his career as it developed, I feel bad for you. He was special.

[@mjt5576]

Jerry Rice is a class act! And definitely the GOAT at wide receiver.

[@hilawes]

Maybe top 4 or top 5 best football player ever.

[@lonnieknight9187]

Might be the Goat period

[@joshuaf3198]

Cowboys fan and I'm so grateful to hear this interview. Respect.

[@050679rudy]

I want the full uninterrupted, unedited episode. Training with Roger Craig on that hill got cut out.

[@Gabrielor89]

My favorite athlete of all time, and a constant choice on school tests growing up as my role model. I'd love to randomly meet him one day, even though I'd probably cry.

[@TheBeatenPaths]

It's a shame the plays and some of the interview was cut out of this :(.

[@johnnyyang5024]

Hall Of Famer and Super Bowl 🏈 Champion Forever 🏆, Jerry Rice .......😊😊😊

[@jasonburdette6921]

Best Wide Receiver ever seen growing up

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Jerry Rice is the Michael Jordan of Wideouts.

[@stewpittt]

The more I watch these, the more it seems a lot is cut out; where can we see the full interviews….?

[@CarmonBenford]

i could sit down and have a conversation with this wonderful man for hours...he's so childlike and innocent and humble. i wish there were more former athletes like Jerry Rice. We've heard the theme about doing well so his family is better off. Was that Shannon Sharpe?

[@Lonker65]

I didn't realize how much I liked this guy over the years. What a good man and I love his sense of humor. And Joe, I am loving these interviews. Because of them, this is my favorite KZbin channel right now. Your friendship with these athletes makes them open up in ways I've never heard them do before. Thanks for the good work sir.

[@anthonyjacksonjr4812]

Jerry Rice. Enough said. 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@frankcouste4785]

The editing is bad on here. How you cut Jerry off in the middle of his story about the td in the second superbowl

[@vernonleewarren280]

Agreed. That really bothered me. Why did they cut that out. I also don't like when the interviewer cuts off the person in mid sentence. I absolutely hate that. Let the person finish there thought

[@lakerat3]

The absolute greatest of all time and a great man ! Thank you Joe for having him on the show.

[@Stevesautopartsify]

Hate not seeing the NFL footage!

[@chipfuller2305]

Met Jerry Rice at the Super Bowl experience in Atlanta. Got a picture with him and he signed my 49ers helmet. He stayed and signed a hour after his time was up. Very nice guy.

[@scotttild]

No other WR will ever come close. Rice is the GOAT and its not even close. He may be in the top 5 football players of all time.

[@vernonleewarren280]

He's definitely in my top 5

[@ivettepalacin8599]

Greatest player and nicest guy Jerry Rice shares fantastic backstory of his storied career. He was a great part of American professional football culture giving us so many thrills!! Great questions and interview!!

[@charlesas23]

Great interview, but whoever edited it did a sloppy job. There's a lot of parts that were cut out but Joe and Jerry reacted to them without the audience knowing what they just saw. Happened like 5-6 times during the interview

[@robert3k]

Editing department sucks

[@Billyoutz]

Yep, AGREE with Frankcouste, Mr. Rice is a good man, good guy, and a fantastic receiver and I've never met the man, but I like him.

[@mrgjg]

12 time all pro! That is mindboggling!

[@M.Georgiev8527]

Wow... this channel needs more recognition. Like way more. Be well.

How come we don't get to see some of the video clips that Joe Buck talks about? I see just a smidgen of a video clip but I know there was more. What's up with that?!?

Its hard to believe Jerry Rice was ever a nerd lol

[@chris_3636]

Definitely the goat. It pains me to say it because I hated the 49ers, but the stats don't lie. Every award and accolade that both Rice and Montana received were richly deserved.

[@raider4life44]

They don't make players like Jerry Rice anymore. If these players of today had half the work ethic that Jerry did, the league would be more enjoyable.

[@shelms321]

I AM 3 YEARS OLDER THAN JERRY, ALL I REMEMBER IS A SOUTHERN GENT AND ONE HELLUVA FOOTBALL PLAYER, PLUS WHAT I HAVE READ OF HIS WORK ETHICS! LOVE THE DUDE!

[@TugaMugssy111]

[@anthonyhall5781]

Absolutely right!

[@Goji-eletienne]

Deion to Frisco and then to Dallas was a LOT Rodman to the Bulls

[@10tepeyac]

Glad 49ers took a big ole crap on Dallas that season when Deion was there. Look at the class act Jerry Rice being the greatest player ever compared to that ridiculous moron Irving who dressed like a pimp and snorted cocaine

[@charlesbland1073]

Love him or hate him.........208 touchdowns stands alone.

[@AscDrew]

Humble he’s not, great he is.

[@guitar1950]

I really enjoy these. I wish they wouldn't edit the film clips they show. Too much cutting off of the video. They might as well not even start showing the video clips! 1 second of a video? Come on!!!!!

[@holycow3890]

I forgot rice was drafted in 1st round. I almost thought he was drafted in the 4th or 5th round.

[@jnieto490]

You can hate the niners but its hard to hate the 🐐

[@SF_Native]

I only have one Niners jersey. And it's a Jerry Rice jersey #80. GO NINERS!!!

[@hughobrien4139]

Yet another 49er that made life miserable for a Cowboys fan. Out of all players I grew up watching. There was none of them that could approach how smooth Jerry Rice played the game. He simply waltzed his way down field, caught the ball and took it home like they were on sale two for one. With class.

[@carolinadog8634]

Wish they hadn’t chopped up the interview with strange edits.

[@davidsullivan5231]

I know he heard about walter payton hill and incorporated his own version in san fran

[@ARKHAMxMaverick]

Anybody know why there seems to be so much cut out in editing?

[@123RAMBO]

Why TF does it skip doesn’t let rice finish his words

[@TwilightxKnight13]

There are a lot of debates about the best in the NFL. Who is the best QB? Manning vs Brady vs Marino vs Favre, etc. Who is the best middle linebacker? Lewis vs Singletary vs Butkus, etc. But the question of who is the greatest wide receiver of all time, Jerry Rice is the unanimous selection. The only real question is, who is the greatest player of all time and IMO, it comes down to Rice and LT.

[@hammersampson]

I wish someone would make a movie about Jerry Rice. They made a few about Jim Brown, why not Jerry?

[@CraigHodges9100]

Terribly edited but great interview.

[@tko8218]

Originally aired: 2016.

[@vonteabm]

So these were shot in 2016?

woah his high school pic at 11:20 looks just like Clinton Portis !

[@dwaynesanders5725]

In football there is not goat. In football you have goats by position. I wouldn't say Jerry is the goat I would say he's the goat of wide receivers just as I would say Joe Montana is the goat of quaterbacks

[@vernonleewarren280]

Agreed!

[@travisgarrison2352]

What's with all the weird video cuts?

[@rjperfetto584]

​@@frankcouste4785I think he's requesting Tennis players on future interviews

[@ThetrueJedi]

George Siefert was a fool. Had he put Joe back into this rightful spot in 92 the 49ers roll with at least 2 more Superbowls before 94. Such a silly ego move. Imagine the additional Super Bowl records Jerry would have had with Joe back there! Good lord. Jerry and Joe, greatest QB/Receiver combo in NFL history, PERIOD.

[@brynl33]

The Original / Forever "GOAT!" = Jerry Rice #80 Sorry world, There can only be one GOAT and its not Tom Brady. The best and most impactful player ever in the NFL is Jerry Rice!! Went to 4 different SB's with 3 different starting QB's. Holds every meaningful receiving record in NFL History. He was all-pro 12 times, won season MVPs, and Suberbowl MPV. He had one underperforming season as a Rookie, even though he had 1100+ receiving yards and was rookie of the year. His rookie season was just his first of 12 seasons Jerry Rice recorded over 1000 receiving yards in an era that only the great/elite wr's were able to go over the 1000 yard receiving mark. Tom Brady has the rings like Jerry and yes a couple more. However, Tom Brady got to sit back behind a great NE offensive line, running game, and top notch defense for his first 4 seasons in the league. Asked to make minimal plays so their defensive could control the game. Even though Brady played more NFL seasons than Rice (And missed far less games than JR resulting from injuries) Brady still doesn't come close to holding the majority of major Passing Records. SBs matter but once you get to 3, your an Icon. Not the GOAT-- Tom Brady! #JerryRice#80TheeRealGOAT!

[@bigtippyTopp]

Tom Brady Jerry Rice Larry Fitzgerald work hard stay humble work harder be better than the best
