Jerry Rice is often considered by fans to be the “GOAT” (greatest of all time), so he decided to get a tattoo that reflected that. Naturally, the new ink led to some funny reactions.
First, here’s a look at the goat tattoo the Hall of Fame wide receiver got on his arm:

“People always say, ‘Hey, you’re the greatest of all time.’ So, I did this out of respect for the fans,” Rice said of his tattoo during an interview on 97.5 The Game this week.
The reactions to his tattoo were tremendous, namely because so many people swapped in other athletes they consider to be goats, like Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson.

You get a goat tattoo, you better be prepared for all the jokes. And if you ask Moss for his response to the tattoo, you already know what he’ll say.
