Yeah, I was a Jerry Rice fan before I was a Chiefs fan. My parents weren't big sports folks but my dad was a big 'have his friends over for a barbecue and a party' guy. So we had SB parties since as far back as I can recall; really the mid-80s.
Watching him vivisect the Bengals in the SB is really my first clear football memory and so I loved the guy from there through the mid-90s. The '90 Chiefs w/ Okoye and Word are really the first team I can clearly recall watching/remembering so I date my true Chief fandom to 1990, but I was a Jerry Rice fan before that and there's just no way I can ever bag on the guy even if pictures emerge of him placing bets against the 9ers and shooting straight horse steroids into his ass at halftime.
