There's a track meet at Menlo-Atherton every year and Jerry's son was running in the meet. It's an event that includes kids from the various private schools in the area. Rice was there to watch his son. I was standing in line with my young son. I looked over to my right and standing a few yards from me was Jerry Rice. I had told my son about Rice, Montana, Roger Craig, and the rest of that great Niner team. I had even showed my son clips of Rice. There he was in the flesh. I alerted my son, and he was in awe of this man. So I approached him in a friendly manner.

I said his name and extended my hand to shake and he looked at me and turned away. I told him that I just wanted my son to meet him, and he ignored me and walked away. Some time later, I ran into him again, and he got on his cell phone. A bit shocked, I mentioned that I just "wanted my son to meet you." He then said something on the phone about wanting to leave "because I'm being harrassed." Complete jerk. Great receiver, but he lost a fan that day. Rice can go to hell.

I met Young a couple times buying Christmas trees on the peninsula. Very nice guy, very polite. Big difference.

That's messed up about Rice, maybe he was having bad day's. I've met him also and he was cool, even challenged me to a race for no reason. lol. We've all had bad days I guess.

We lost because Smith got hurt and Carr wasn't ready. It was a close game.

We will beat Denver next week and I would not count the Niners out of division contention.

Singletary was one the who changed team around after disasterous seasons. He is a good coach.

Maybe he had a important call on his cell phone. Rice is a big celebrity and he wants to be left alone sometimes.

You're such an annoying cheerleader. Just accept that Singletary sucks and the team is horrible.

Yea, he is always optimistic and motivational but he did change the team around. He went 5-4 then 8-8 and this season isn't over yet. We still have a chance to win the division.
