Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long Say Super Bowl Relies On Super Players

... “I don’t need to hear it,” says the Fox broadcaster. “I can see it.”. Long, his broadcast partner for 23 years, prefers to sit with his wife and watch. “I grunt periodically. But she’s the intense one. She goes to games every weekend.”. Both say Sunday’s Super Bowl may look like the biggest game of the year but, often, it’s just another assignment with a lot of attention. If the score is lopsided, they’re powerless. “I can’t make a bad game good,” says Bradshaw, who spent his early childhood in Clinton, Iowa. “Even John Madden can’t make a game good. A bad game’s a bad game.”. The Super Bowl, however, thrives on stars, the two say, and this year’s match-up could add to the New England Patriots’ luster, particularly since coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady are making their seventh appearance. With Super Bowl LI, New England will have the most appearances of any team. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons, under coach Dan ...

Steelers Prez Refutes Terry Bradshaw, Says Mike Tomlin Did 'great Job

... obviously," said Rooney when addressing a few local reporters Tuesday. "I’m not sure what prompted Terry to make that type of a comment. I haven’t talked to Terry about it. Maybe I will at some point. He’s still an all-time great Steeler and still love him for everything he did for this franchise. But he must have had a lapse in judgment.". "I think Mike [Tomlin] did a great job, obviously getting to the AFC Championship Game and being in the final four is a good accomplishment," Art Rooney II said. Charles Le Claire/USA TODAY Sports. In December, Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl winner with Pittsburgh, said on Fox Sports 1's "Speak For Yourself" that he wasn’t sure what Tomlin actually does as a coach. Tomlin said debating greatness is fair game but he didn’t appreciate Bradshaw’s "cheerleader" line. The coach then joked that he grew up a fan of "Hollywood" Henderson, a former Dallas Cowboys defender who once said Bradshaw "couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the C and the A.". ...

Terry Bradshaw Has A New Word To Describe 'cheerleader Guy' Mike Tomlin

... is backing off his comments about the current Steelers coach. Jan 12, 2017. • 3 min read. Remember back in late December, when Hall of Famer and former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who now works as an analyst for FOX Sports, said that Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is " a great cheerleader guy " but " not a great coach ?". Yeah, forget that because Bradshaw is moonwalking away from those remarks. NFL Playoffs. Prisco's divisional picks. "I wish I hadn't had said 'cheerleader,'" Bradshaw said Wednesday during a Fox press conference for Super Bowl LI, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 's Rob Owen. "It was an instantaneous response. I referenced it to on the sideline the camera will catch him a lot of times and he's gyrating so cheerleading was the first thing that came to my mind. "Motivator would have been a better word," Bradshaw continued. "Listen, I'm in the business of ...

Terry Bradshaw On Osweiler

... find a quarterback,” Bradshaw said of Romo. “If I had my little crystal ball and I could rub on that sucker and it says Romo is good for three years, (expletive) I’d be all over that,” Bradshaw said. “Houston would be awesome.”. Bradshaw said the problems with the Texans go beyond the quarterback position as he still believes, like his FOX colleague Jay Glazer does, that there is turmoil between head coach Bill O’Brien. “You got to worry about keeping O’Brien (in Houston),” Bradshaw said.”Everybody loves O’Brien. They’re talking about him getting out of here and moving next year.”.

Terry Bradshaw Should Stick To Telling Jokes

... panel during the FOX portion of the 2017 Winter Television Critics Association press tour on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2017, in Pasadena, Calif. (Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP). Sports on TV » Fox sportscaster says he was caught off guard when interviewer asked him a question. Share This Article. ARTICLE PHOTO GALLERY (6). Fox football analyst Terry Bradshaw came up with a novel excuse for why he insulted Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin. Bradshaw said that when he was a guest on Fox Sports 1's "Speak for Yourself," he was caught off guard when host Jason Whitlock — gasp! — asked him a question. What an unexpected development. "It wasn't a prepared question," Bradshaw said. "I didn't have time to think about the answer.". What he clearly meant to say at the Television Critics Association press tour is that he didn't have a prepared answer. But then Bradshaw never has been ...

Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw Think Drew Brees, Other Qbs Can Play Into 40s

... he thinks new rules protecting quarterbacks from dangerous hits could help some guys extend their career. Brady, who will start in Super Bowl 51 on Sunday, is 39. "The game has changed so much," Aikman said. "Quarterbacks are just not getting hit the way that we once did. I don't think the punishment is as much, and I think that for the older guys, the hard part about getting old is recovering after each game. "You're not going to lose arm strength, but it's just being able to recover, and without taking the hits and the punishment on a weekly basis the way we once did, I think we're going to see a lot of guys playing into their early 40 s, heck, maybe mid-40 s. I don't know.". Bradshaw wanted to play until he was 40, but an elbow injury ended that dream when he was 35. He said throwing mechanics for quarterbacks now rely more on shoulder strength than elbows, which could help signal callers play longer, too. Of course, avoiding big hits is the best way to stay on the field. "All of these guys can play a lot longer if you can ...

Bum Phillips Once Gave Terry Bradshaw A Colorful Gift

... game When he said we’re going to knock the door down.”. Bradshaw said Phillips, who was coaching the Oilers in their second consecutive AFC title game against the Steelers in 1980, asked the equipment manager to summon Bradshaw to his office in the stadium. “I went down to (the Oiler)locker room before we played them in the championship game and he said ‘hey I got this for you’. It was a pair of powder blue, Oiler colored cowboy boots. I still have them. Beautiful. They’re ostrich!”. Bradshaw’s Steelers beat the Oilers 27-13 in the title game for the second consecutive year and won Super Bowl XIV over the Rams. Bradshaw asked if the Phillips gift ever made it onto his feet and responded in a classic Terry Bradshaw way. “Did I wear them? No. powder blue,” Bradshaw said laughing. “I don’t wear powder blue.”.

Terry Bradshaw Is Not A Fan Of Lions Tight End Eric Ebron

... be due about $8 million in 2018 if the Lions exercise the option. "Did you see the playoff game, the drops he had in the playoff game?" Bradshaw said. "For first downs? I remember those. If I throw to you, you’re 20 yards on an end route and I hit you right between the numbers and you drop that, we can’t have that.". Ebron's 8.2% drop rate this season was up from his 7.1% drop rate in 2015, according to Sporting __link__ , but Fox analyst and Hall-of-Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe said Ebron's drops were a product of "lack of concentration.". "Listen, everything is not meant to be a touchdown," Sharpe said. "Everything is not meant to be a 40-yard catch-and-run. Sometimes, it’s OK to catch the ball and live with that. I see a lot of these guys, everybody wants to have the highlight, the 40-yard catch-and-run. But everything is not meant to be a 40-yard catch-and-run. Sometimes you have to say 'You know what, on third down, just let me get this first down and stay on the field.' ". Sharpe ...

Terry Bradshaw's Stain, Coin Toss, Joe Buck's Beard

... George H. W. Bush. Fake news: Raise your hand if you took the bait on stain on Terry Bradshaw's shirt, a setup for a subsequent detergent ad. Trivia for the nonfootball fan: The post-Super Bowl slot is going to the debut of "24: Legacy.". Using the slot to launch a show occasionally works – "The Wonder Years" and "Family Guy" – but more often doesn't. Busts are "Mac Gruder and Loud," "The Last Precinct," "Grand Slam" and "The Good Life" and "Extreme.". Anyone know? Why do referees treat the coin toss like they're going to do a magic trick. No (bleep): Buck acknowledged he left out the expletive everyone saw the Patriots coach mouth when he said, "You can see Bill Belichick saying, 'He's not over the center, he's over the guard.'". Why do they have military flyovers for games in domed stadiums. Is the mascot in the new Google Home ad related to the mascot in the Amazon Alexa ad who couldn't pick up his keys. Fuzz buster: By now we should be used to seeing Fox Super Bowl play-by-play man Buck with a few days' growth of facial hair. And yet we wonder: Did Joe oversleep. Is Joe depressed. Is Joe trying to grow a full beard. Country ...

Terry Bradshaw Loves Matthew Stafford; Jay Cutler And Brock Osweiler, Not So Much

... QB Matt Ryan, believes Matthew Stafford is part of the solution in Detroit. (AP Photo). HOUSTON - Add Terry Bradshaw to the growing list of NFL people who believe the Detroit Lions should pony up for Matthew Stafford. Stafford is entering the final year of his deal, and could surpass Andrew Luck as the highest-paid player in the league if he signs an extension this offseason. "I would have no problem paying Matthew Stafford the money - absolutely none," the Hall of Fame quarterback said Tuesday during Super Bowl LI festivities in Houston. "Listen, take these kids and put good people around them, you got a hell of a quarterback in Detroit. You just got to put the pieces around him.". The Lions are a team on the rise after going 9-7 last season and making the postseason, but there are concerns too after they lost their last four in a row to cough up the division. And they didn't win a single game against a playoff qualifier, showing just how far they have to go before they're a real contender. But Bradshaw, like so many others, says Stafford is a part of the solution in ...

Texans Haven’t Done Anything Right At Quarterback

... can’t even hit a checkdown to his TE accurately. Can’t even remember how many times i’ve seen him have a guy wide open in the flat and throws the ball right into his feet. The DPR says. Feb 1, 2017 12:06 PM. Tom Savage actually looks pretty good. He must not practice well because in limited in-game action he hasn’t been bad. As for Osweiler, if he was getting paid half what he’s getting, he would also get about half as much criticism. somethinghappeninghere says. Feb 1, 2017 12:07 PM. That is what is so weird about the Texans–they have never had a good QB (was hoping Brock would be that QB…oh well). Hopefully, they can get Romo or even Garapolo…not a Texans fan but my daughter-in-law is. When they geta good QB they will be Super Bowl material with Miller, their WRs and a great defense. bluenose 1965 says. Feb 1, 2017 12:08 PM. As a Texans fan, I wish this ^ wasn’t true…. but ...
