The CONTROVERSY at Super Bowl XXIV

The last thing any team wants to do prior to the Super Bowl is create a self-inflicted distraction for themselves. Well, at Super Bowl XXIV, Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen did just that when he made some comments about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice that were deemed so bad, so insensitive, and so offensive, that organizations across the country voiced their complaints, and were unified in calling Bowlen a racist. This is the story behind Super Bowl XXIV, and the somewhat forgotten drama from before the game

I'm a Cowboys fan. But this was my favorite super bowl that Dallas didn't win. I won over 500 bucks at work giving people 23 1/2 points. They were too eager to take it. Probably the only time in my life I was rooting for the 49ers.

This was the game where Homer Simpson did a quarterback sneak to give the Broncos their first and only TD.

How did he not say, “We gotta be on him like black on Rice!”? If you’re gonna be racist, own that!

[@DanStrayer]

As a frustrated Browns fan, I loved this Super Bowl. Now I love it even more.

[@christopherengel7436]

Firstly, Pat Bowlen was a great owner & yes very generous throughout his life to the needy & for many causes. Also was good to his players & former players. Which makes this comment seem so out of character. I don't doubt he meant no harm. Good for him to stay in front of it & apologize & offer to go the extra steps to help make up for it. Lastly the joke was terrible. His team was lucky Rice didn't get fired up and have a good game.

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about trash talking Chargers Safety Stanley Richard did about Jerry Rice before Super Bowl 29, and how that backfired on him and the Chargers.

48 was worse.

Super Bowl 24 was the first Super Bowl I ever watched. I was 9 years old. I wasn’t a 49ers fan but had a blast watching this game. I thought it was nice that there was clear cut winner and no question who the best team was.

[@joshuarayborn]

I remember Harry Carray said about this time- If Mark Grace doesn’t hit 300, then I’m a chinaman

[@goalscorerlajon]

"Which is worse than spiking the ball on every single play."

[@inwalters]

Thanks for mentioning Sterling Sharpe. Those of us who are South Carolina fans always say - Jerry had 20 seasons, Sterling only had 7. Now if Sterling had been able to play 20 seasons, who knows?

[@astrostar49]

Last game of the 1989 season, and it was fitting that the 49ers orchestrated a masterclass thrashing on the Broncos, to officially put their stamp on the decade as the league's best team. SB24 wasn't really a contest, more so a coronation for San Francisco. Remarkable what Bill Walsh, Eddie Debartolo, all the players, and all the coaches were able to accomplish during that period.

I was born 5 hours before kickoff of this game. I wanted to watch it, but there wasn't a TV in the nursery

[@Bravo_116Cinema]

I was 21 years old in 1990 and I just don't remember this controversy at all, now I know that you probably believe there was a lot of controversy but there just wasn't maybe on paper

[@nasetvideos]

Wow--I don't remember this one. Great reporting on your end telling this story

[@GOLMONT-rd8hu]

Twitter would've had a field day with this controversy if it was around in 1989.

[@scottybbadd]

JG9, to this date, I'll still make an argument for Steve Largest being the G.O.A.T. among wide receivers. Look at who was throwing the ball to Jerry Rice as opposed to who was throwing the ball to Steve Largent.

[@DragonKazooie89]

I think he would been better off making an Uncle Ben joke as the rice cooks quickly, Rice runs quickly, Uncle Ben's is a brand of rice and there is an African American man's face on the box.

[@iamhungey12345]

Jerry Rice is a San Francisco treat.
