I (like Bradshaw) am also a Louisiana Tech grad. There was a saying down there on campus.
Terry Bradshaw would never had amounted to anything if he hadn't won four super bowls.
I don't know exactly what that's supposed to mean, but I bet Terry doesn't either. |

Not racist. He says "Look at this Jimmy. Like he was chasing that bucket of fried chicken the other day." Referring to an actual incident where the other announcer, Jimmy, had a bucket of chicken blown out of his hands.

In this day and age, when the word "the" is considered racist, I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes, this will be considered racist. |

Bradshaw gets a pass because he has Alzheimer's. |

Terry Bradshaw is just silly and dumb but he might have crossed into that "celeb that can say anything retard zone".. some celebs can literally say anything and never get in trouble, charles barkely and don knotts come to mind. |

No different than saying "like a fat kid on a cupcake." I'd run for a bucket of chicken too. Unfortunately, I'm white, so not as fast as a black guy. |

But Reggie Bush went to Helix High in San Diego. Same high school team as 49ers QB Alex Smith. The fried chicken stereotype only applies to the South. |

It's a Southern thing, everyone like fried chicken, in a bucket. |

If it was a joke to do with an earlier thing in the broadcast, then who cares? A bit of fun between sports commentators.
p.s. Love the NFL. |

If you're mad that someone called you out for liking chicken, go to anger management. |

Not racist. As Shify pointed out, this was taken out of context. |

I agree, shiftyplus1. I just don't see how the network can not address it. It was too dumb not to address it. Fire him? That's certainly not what I'm advocating! Those guys are always pushing the envelope, and the show is great because of it! But, he does need to apologize. I do think he'll lose endorsement deals. Corporations are generally super allergic to controversy. |

Earlier in the broadcast he was sharing a dumb anecdote concerning another co-host and fried chicken. He tried to reference the joke, but at the WORST possible time. Is Bradshaw a moron? Yep. Is he racist? I don't think so. |

Wouldn't be surprised if he lost his job with Fox over this. There are plenty of well known personalities who can take the position who are just relaxing at home most weekends. |

His wallet is going to be getting lighter over that one, one way or another. |
