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

This was the game where Homer Simpson did a quarterback sneak to give the Broncos their first and only TD.
But only after he changed his name to John Elway due to being in Witness Protection
@@TimmyTickle Homer Thompson just didn't work out.
That was before Hank Scorpio bought him the team.
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.
As a Niners' fan, I'd like to comment by observing how intertwined these two intradivisional franchises have been over the decades.
As a frustrated Browns fan, I loved this Super Bowl. Now I love it even more.
I’ve little to cling to. 😞
😆
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.
@CTubeMan I love it when he does the trash talking backfire video
Whh would someone trash talk jerry rice? That's asking for trouble
Man...I'm STILL trying to figure out how the Chargers made it to 29.
And I was there, lol!
I'd expect that from Rodney Harrison.
@@iamhungey12345 If not Freddie Mitchell
How did he not say, “We gotta be on him like black on Rice!”? If you’re gonna be racist, own that!
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.
"Which is worse than spiking the ball on every single play."
Hey, JG8, I'm getting that phrase copyrighted, then YOU wil have to pay ME EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU USE IT. 😂
Broncos Don't just lose SuperBowls they lose them big
Vikings and Bills enter the chat. (To be fair, tho, only BUF vs NYG was the closest one.)
@@bobscott2429 I actually thought this year’s SB would be Vikings vs Bills. But Giants had other ideas
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.
The game wasn't as close as the 55-10 score would indicate.
You can argue that every team that qualified in the NFC postseason that year could have won against the Broncos.
@@iamhungey12345 Valid point - went 2-2 vs the NFC East that year, only beating Phoenix & Washington.
48 was worse.
Not in my book!
I remember Harry Carray said about this time- If Mark Grace doesn’t hit 300, then I’m a chinaman
Now that's graceful.
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?
@Coogan Check my math, but I have it that Jerry from '86 to '95 averaged 14 TDs a year, the same as for Sterling his last three years, after Farve joined the team. To be a great WR, you need a great QB to throw to you and Green Bay didn't have that till'92. So again, as I said, if Sterling could have played with Farve another 15 seasons, who knows?
If Jerry Rice had played 26 seasons he'd be in George Blanda's league. See what I did there.
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.
His joke was still less racist than anything coming out of Brandon Schaub's mouth.
I think he had a "brain fart" when he made that joke.
The Broncos said that that SuperBowl was going to be different and they were right: It was a lot worse.
I was born 5 hours before kickoff of this game. I wanted to watch it, but there wasn't a TV in the nursery
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
4:25 for our favorite catchphrase
As a eleven year old Bronco fan it was worst day of my football life.
The loss to Jacksonville to deny us 3 super bowls was quite bad too.
2 things
1. Sorry for the loss to the Cowboys. Truly one of the greatest defenses ever played in that game. (Dressed in orange of course.)
2. Though you lost to the Jags there's no guarantee it would've meant another Super Bowl for the Broncos. Maybe they win that year & Elway quits a year earlier? Davis gets a career ending injury? You never know. Be happy for those first 2 (well deserved) wins
@@christopherengel7436 yep. I never understand this claim. John probably retires earlier if they win in 1996. I highly doubt they win 3 in a row.
Not racist
So overblown
@@Eli-ss9gj I dont think we beat Green Bay that year.
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.
And oh Lordy was that joke bad. On so many levels, not the least of which was the racial part.
Twitter would've had a field day with this controversy if it was around in 1989.
It's no secret that Super Bowl XXIV was a complete embarrassment.
For Pat Bowlen's career and the fans of the Broncos.
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.
Anytime that you have read that much into a joke it ceases becoming a joke at that point.
It ceased being a joke the milisecond it passed the receptor's in Bowlen's brain.
@@UncannyValleyVideos It wasn't racist it was just plain stupid.
It should have been Sanfrancisco vs Cleveland anyway.
@@matthewdaley746 They also lacked luck and a great quarterback which Denver had I always thought Bernie Kozar was overrated at least at the NFL Level.
@@matthewdaley746 Who you mean the Browns Owner? Now I would buy that.
It’s risky making cute comments to a video with otherwise serious themes. However, I’m going to do so to this video. Just trying to show I’m not entirely tone deaf.
Social Media is bad now
Maybe THE most fun I ever had watching a Super Bowl!
A Niners fan, 30 odd years younger, ABSOLUTELY sure the Niners would crush.
I took all bets I could find - which weren't many.
I would say that the joke was more dumb as hell than racist.
Wow--I don't remember this one. Great reporting on your end telling this story
Jerry Rice is a San Francisco treat.
Wow I don’t remember this dumb joke. Talk about “dumb decisions “. I agree with your assessment, it was just an intentional bad attempt at humor .plus he apologized for the comment
Us Broncos Fans would like to forget all about Super Bowl XXIV.
What about super bowl 48?
Actually calling someone a Frenchman is derogatory. It means Cowardly! " He's shaking like a Frenchman in a Thunderstorm"!
I can’t comment on 1989, but right now Green Bay does have an Asian American community. Wisconsin is third in US behind California and Minnesota for Asian immigrants. 4.19% of Green Bay was Asian American in last census. Which would be roughly more than 4500. No players with a name for Bowlen to make a stupid joke about. Probably not the the more than 887,000 in San Francisco in 1989. Yeah, but today with social media that “joke” wouldn’t go over in Green Bay either.
I never understood why you had to say "Chinaman" or "Chinawoman" in the first place. What's wrong with "Chinese", or, if you must indicate humanity and/ or gender, "Chinese man" or "Chinese woman"?
Say Asian. Not all Asians are China men. That's as bad as oriental.....Asian is the more likely term to not offend
It's not even a funny joke...It would have gone right over my head without an explanation...When I think of rice, I think Texas (I'm from there)...Texas produces a sh*t ton of rice from the Houston area...and it is the most eaten rice in the U.S....so this "joke" made no sense to me...
Super Bowl 24 is the worst Super Bowl of all time from an on field product perspective in my view with Super Bowl 48 (also involving the Broncos who got destroyed 43-8 by the Seahawks) being a close second.
skins blew broncos out in s b xxii too.
finished by halftime the game was
@@ricardolozano5356 sure was.
Worst SB of all time sandwiched between two of the greatest
If this was such a big deal how come I have never heard of it? I watched this game live. I watched the pre game show and don't remember CBS mentioning it.
Hopefully this season a team will finally use the "spike the ball into the ground on every play" strategy.
I’m trying to think if there is any play on words where you could use rice the food and sneak in a reference to Jerry. Yeah, I can’t, even with the most respectful of intentions.
If Pat Bowlen made that comment today, he would have been forced to sell the Broncos.
The Broncos' defense played WAY too conservative in that game. They'd been a blitzing and aggressive defense all year, but they sat back and rushes 3 or 4 for almost the whole game.
Would they have won if they played more aggressive? Probably not. But maybe it wouldn't have been as ugly.
Bit of trivia: the number one offense and the number one defense have played against each other 7 times in the Superbowl. The defense has won six of the seven times. The lone exception? This game. As a Broncos fan, that stabs pretty deep.
it wouldn't have mattered. montana would have sliced them up either way. that defense was too undersized to match up against those big powerful nfc offenses of the day that ruled s b's. skins and g men proved that too.
@@danielnaylor3434 Oof.
I knew things went sideways for the Broncos on the field, but I didn't know about Bowlen's ill-advised joke, let alone the fallout from it. Paul Tagliabue should've at least fined Bowlen for that.
The Broncos almost signal handedly ruined the superbowl. By time they were going to their 4th, people were ready to give up on the concept of the best of the 2 conferences playing each other.
When will you tell us YOUR story? How did JG9 start, what was your life like before?
It was a super bad joke. But please, people got to get over themselves.
No, people have got to get over using racial slurs. Don't gaslight people who remember when in the 1800s and early 1900s forcible drownings of Chinese immigrants were done as sport in many western U.S. towns. That era and region are also when the term "chinaman" was started. If you did not know that, then that illustrates the problem.
@@brianarbenz1329 Of course I didn't know that. And the person this story is about most likely didn't know that. He was using the term chinaman like you'd use the term Irishman.
Matthew Daley I miss you!
President Bush called him Rice A-Roni. This is stupid. We all joked that way back then before fun was removed from the world.
Is “Racist Saturday” becoming a theme with you? Seriously, like I said last week, I’m glad you’re not using these incidents to try to “cancel” anybody.
The best thing to do about seemingly racist incidents is never talk about them & just pretend like they never happened/happen
@@slimischillin7753 Absolutely wrong. You sound racist for saying that.
Well you don’t have to support his TH-cam channel
You will notice that on this, and the recent Bart Starr incident, this channel said repeatedly that they believe neither was racist. The whole brouhaha over "cancel culture" is exaggerated.
@@slimischillin7753 the white way of doing things.
It's going to be a daunting task blah blah blah.........
What does Jerry have as his birthday cake?
A Rice cake.
Did you hear that Ellen Degeneres drowned ?
In Ricki Lake
What I always remember about this super bowl there's a clip where one of the Denver broncos is sitting on the sideline just shaking his head and I think he puts a towel over his face just can't remember what that guy's name is. I got a couple friends from California that are niners fans man that's not what I remember hearing about this super bowl to those guys this is like their favorite one you know how many times I've heard about the 89 49s. And it's funny because in all reality the 84 49ers are probably better they only lost one game although the 89 49ers only lost two
That was nose tackle Greg Kragen (#71), who was struggling all day vs. a superior 49ers offensive line. (Really, what WASN'T superior about the 49ers that day?) After the 49ers' last score before halftime (a TD catch by, who else, Jerry Rice to make it Niners, 27-3), Kragen, towel over his head, frustratingly said, "Unbelievable. Un-f...kin'-believable."
@@bobscott2429 thanks I've been trying to find that clip again I couldn't remember that guy's name for anything
@@animemaster4861 TH-cam has the NFL Films highlight video of SB 24. You're welcome!

Tbh I think you could have put any afc playoff team that year against the 49ers in the super bowl and it still wouldn't have been close
I’m finna need a qbr less than spiking every play in every video mandatory no matter how u fit it in
Oh, he can find ways to fit 39.6 into his videos, believe you me.
I keep saying that JG9 needs to do a supercut video of all his references to doing nothing but spiking the ball into the ground on every single play
@@RCVictoryLane for sure, when he gets to 100k, that should be the video uploaded for getting there.
I don’t know. It seems like these days, he’s only including it in 39.6% of his videos.
We all make mistakes. I'm glad he apologized afterwards.
That being said, he should have known not to go near a subject like that in the first place.
That was not a mistake, it was intentional a’f, he knew what he was doing
Everything is offensive now. At some point, people need to grow up.
@@bradjames891 But this was 1990
The Browns if not for that Fumble in the AFC Championship
I would say the Bears VS the Patriots was the worse Superbowl in history.

Not to the far left. We must be outraged. We must be angry.
@@bradjames891 Weird take, but go off if it makes you feel better.
oooooooooooooof that would not fly at all today.
It's strange that Chinese people are angry about an act of racism directed at a black person 😲
The joke itself was targeted towards Asians
@@berryburst2608 Yes, I know. I was simply looking for an excuse to make another racist joke.
I don't think you're getting it, @Jason Fischer.
@@brianarbenz1329 I get it
Bernie Kosar was using a rubber band as a ligament on his hand in the playoffs.
Worst SB of all time is 53 Rams and patriots no question
Personally I would say that the road wild card New England Patriots beating Chicago in 86 would have been the biggest upset in Superbowl history. Denver at least had a hof QB and a hof on defense.
The Pats had a HOFer in defense as well, just that he was overshadowed by LT that time.
@@iamhungey12345 Tippit was good but he was no where near LT. Singletary was better. Besides Elway was light yrs better than both of New Englands QBs
@@Stevenirons Yeah but it's not like the Pats were devoid of HOF players.
@@iamhungey12345 true but the Broncos were better than this team. And they had 1, not multiple. Considering that the 85 bears are the greatest defense ever this would have been the biggest upset not 24
@@Stevenirons The Broncos were only better because they had Elway, the Pats would have given him more support during that period before things went to hell in the early 1990s. With that said I don't think the Pats would have done much better against the Bears if they had Elway over Eason, the Bears were a more loaded team.
I rarely see a face as long as the one worn by John Elway on that day.
Remind of when Jags agave the Rms last year and Urban Meyer said "who's this 99 I heard he's going to be q problem for us."
I’m amazed this got swept under the rug, even after Bowlen’s death.
The Chinese refer to anyone who isn't Chinese as barbarians. So by the same logic, they should be held at the same standard. Just saying.
That’s comical when you look at the history of China and the inhumane things that have gone on in relatively recent years.
A Chinese hate story lovely
It’s funny how sensitive the Chinese are! For example their leader, he gets but hurt when you call him whinny the Pooh
I wanted CLE in the '89 SB but the 49ers would have put up a ton of points as well!
Joe Montana was my hero as a kid. I loved this game!
I fell asleep in the 1st and woke up and the score was 55 10
I don't think chinaman is the preferred nomenclature dude
Just a very unfunny joke that didn't land definitely didn't intend to be racist
That 49ers team is probably the greatest team in the history of the sport. The completely steamrolled everyone. Their 2 losses were by a combined 5 points and they averaged 27 PPG. In the playoffs they outscored their 3 opponents by 100 points. 100 points.
41 13. 30 3 55 10
I loved it myself every minute of it every second of it.

@@totallynotalpharius2283cuz you haven't read about how yer ma works a D then
This video teeters on the woke cringe side.
Montana will always be thee GOAT in my book.
Nah, the GOAT is without a doubt Otto Graham. They didn't have "Super Bowls" in Graham's day, they had "championship games", and for a number of reasons careers were shorter, so Otto only played 10 years. He was a starter from day 1. In 10 years, his team made the championship game 10 times and won 7. (Try to imagine some rookie from this year's class, let's say Kenny Pickett, being a starter virtually from day 1, having a 10 year career all for the same team, playing in 10 Super Bowls as a starting QB and winning 7 of them.)
Oh, and did I mention players played both ways in Graham's era? As a rookie, he found himself down 9-7 late in the 4th quarter of the championship game. With under 5 minutes left, he threw a TD pass to go ahead 14-9. Then, playing free safety, he got the game-clinching interception with under a minute left, plucking an Ace Parker pass out of the air to stop a drive that had reached the +30. (So, picture Kenny Pickett playing starting QB and starting FS, throwing the go-ahead TD pass late in the game and then intercepting an Aaron Rodgers throw in the final minute to stop the potential game-winning drive.)
But if we restrict it to only the Super Bowl era, you can make a good case for Montana as the GOAT.
@@dentonyoung4314 Well you've got an argument going but what about Unitas I'm only a young whippersnapper at 56 I'm sick of hearing about Brady he's so manufactured.
@@dentonyoung4314 Fun fact: Otto Graham originally retired after the 1954 season. However, Paul Brown struggled to find a QB for training camp in 1955. So, Otto "unretired" (just like a current QB who shall remain nameless) and carried the Browns to another championship, his seventh and last one.

Jesus, this channel has gone completely woke! Unsubscribed.
Bye! Don't let the door whack you too hard on your way out.
@@brianarbenz1329 thanks for the advice. Hope your bottom surgery goes well!
The 49ers management sent promotions to sports departments of newspapers all around the nation which were 5-foot-tall parody Rice A Roni boxes called "Rice and Ronnie, the San Francisco Treat." (I worked in a newspaper sports room and saw one of these; they were clever as hell). This was a play on Jerry Rice and Ronnie Lott. There are plenty of ways to make a joke about Jerry's Rice's last name without being a clod.
What many people don't realize about the "c-man" term is that it is as bad as the n-word. Racists in the day used them in tandem to vent hate and white supremacist feelings. Imagine someone calling Jerry Rice "that n----- receiver." No one would have a problem understanding why that was unacceptable.
I dunno if you're willing to divulge this JG9, but is the real Mark Moseley (former NFL kicker and 1982 MVP) one of your patrons? That would be so cool if he is!
He is not. Different person with the same name
