Summary

Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice tells Rich the secret behind head coach Bill Walsh’s 3 Super Bowl titles with the 49ers of the 1980’s, reveals his choice as the best wide receiver in the league currently, weighs in on 8-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick’s first-ballot HOF snub, and talks some trash to former Niners teammate Steve Young ahead of their Pro Bowl flag football game showdown. Michigan alum Rich debates Brockman on how the Wolverines’ cheating scandal compares to the Patriots’ Sypgate and Deflategate scandals during New England’s Belichick era. Rich weighs in on the Cleveland Browns passing over Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz as their next head coach by bringing back former OC Todd Monken instead. Learn more about your ad choices.
