Fox sports analyst and former Super Bowl champ Terry Bradshaw was never known for his eloquence, but his comments made during last night's post Super Bowl broadcast with winning coach Andy Reid are being called disgraceful.
The NFL commentator is famous for his quirky comments and being the jokester of the Fox football hosts, but it seems as though Bradshaw categorized insensitive and disrespectful as funny, and many are calling for his removal from the program.
Upon Kansas City Chief's win on the greatest football stage, Bradshaw waved the two-time Super Bowl winning coach over to do a post-game interview, incessantly commenting on Reid's stature.
Bradshaw said:
"Big guy...let me get the big guy in here."
Yep, and then:
"Come on, waddle over here."
We're sorry, what‽‽
You can watch the moment below.
\u201cTerry Bradshaw to Andy Reid: \n\n"Big guy... let me get the big guy in here. Come on, waddle over here."\n\n"Have a cheeseburger on us." #SuperBowl #Fox\u201d— Awful Announcing (@Awful Announcing) 1676259792
Needless to say, viewers were outraged.
USA Today Sports' For the Wineven called for Bradshaw's time on air to end.
"There has to be a point where the leadership at Fox Sports realizes that it’s time to stop giving Terry Bradshaw a role in NFL coverage. It’s getting beyond uncomfortable to watch at this point."
Others on social media agreed.
\u201c@FanDuel I usually laugh off Terry Bradshaw but his remark about waddling to Andy Reid was unnecessary and rude.\u201d— FanDuel (@FanDuel) 1676259225
\u201c@awfulannouncing Terry Bradshaw needs to be suspended or fired for that disgusting comments. Disgraceful and shameful.\u201d— Awful Announcing (@Awful Announcing) 1676259792
\u201c@FanDuel What is wrong with Terry Bradshaw? Speaking of retirement, perhaps Terry should say its time and go quietly into that good night.\u201d— FanDuel (@FanDuel) 1676259225
\u201c@awfulannouncing So with all the people possible to do those interviews they go with Bradshaw?!\u201d— Awful Announcing (@Awful Announcing) 1676259792
\u201c@FanDuel I get it\u2019s all jokes but he made like 3 jokes on his weight here. Then the interview later with MJD makes similar jokes. I\u2019m sure he wants to be thinking about the SB not about announcers comments about his weight. Kind of messed up tbh\u201d— FanDuel (@FanDuel) 1676259225
\u201c@awfulannouncing I don\u2019t think the cheeseburger comment crossed the line but \u201cwaddling over her\u201d certainly did. I think it may be time for Terry Bradshaw to step down.\u201d— Awful Announcing (@Awful Announcing) 1676259792
\u201c@FanDuel @NFLonFOX I think an apology is necessary that's ridicule.\u201d— FanDuel (@FanDuel) 1676259225
\u201cWhy does @NFLonFOX continue to allow Terry Bradshaw to interview owners, coaches, and players after games? He has NO clue on how to conduct an interview and acts like an idiot on the stage. Telling Andy Reid to waddle on up here and that he\u2019s old. It\u2019s honestly embarrassing!\u201d— Joe Geckler (@Joe Geckler) 1676259360
Many are also noting Bradshaw told Reid to "have a cheeseburger on us," though it was likely a reference to Reid's comment made after his previous Super Bowl win at which time the coach said he was going to "have the biggest cheeseburger you've ever seen."
No comment has been made yet by either Fox or Bradshaw, but at the very least, a sincere apology wouldn't hurt.
