Terry Bradshaw: ‘Reggie Bush ran like he was chasing a bucket of chicken!’
Last month, Stephen A Smith said the N-word on First Take. Sunday, Terry Bradshaw compared Reggie Bush’s Madden-like touchdown run to chasing a bucket of chicken. I’m not one to get worked up by these moments, but as networks attempt to create a jocular environment on live TV, a degree of professionalism is lost. In the cases of Stephen A and Terry, I believe they slipped up because they were too comfortable.

Just once I would like a TV exec to just use the excuse that these guys are idiots and occasionally idiots just say stupid things.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
Bradshaw gets a pass.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
A great bucket of fried chicken is worth chasing though.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:27 AM
Something Bradshaw has never had nor will ever have. He is a goofball. That is his role.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:27 AM
What I really want to know is what is KFC or Popeye’s?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Caught a moment or two of the FOX pre-game show. Bradshaw seemed more off his rocker than usual. Busting Jimmy’s stones for wearing his SB ring on set and offering commentary on things that were not even being discussed by the other hosts, to the point they all seemed taken aback by it all. Could he have just been drunk?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
Popeyes. Forever
November 5th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
Most likely.

November 5th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Kind of like a multi billion dollar media conglomerate violating labor laws.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:31 AM
All Bradshaw has to do is deny he said it and that people misheard because he speaks so slowly because he’s from Louisiana/took too many shots to the head playing for the evil NFL in the 70′s.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:32 AM
How enraged should Ronny get when CRM posts an awful youtube remake today with some bad puns and makes bank.

Fried chicken is over-rated. There, I said it.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:34 AM
Hmmm … sounds vaguely familiar …
November 5th, 2012 at 10:34 AM
This would be awesome.
Is anyone really surprised that they’re not getting hard hitting intelligent football analysis from Terry Bradshaw.
I don’t know if he should be fired for this incident, but he should be fired for being unfunny and terrible. The Good Ole Boy goofball schtick is tired and stupid.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:34 AM
You may live in the South, but you, sir, are no Southerner.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
Had fried chicken last Saturday for the first time in a while. It was every bit as awesome as I remember.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
How the hell can this post be titled: Terry Bradshaw: ‘Reggie Bush ran like he was chasing a bucket of chicken!’?
This is the quote: “Look at this Jimmy, like he was chasing that bucket of chicken that the wind was blowing the other night”.
Did he use chicken because Reggie Bush is black and that’s a stereotype or becasuse of some actual chicken bucket that was blowing the other night very fast and in a zig/zaggy manner? You don’t know.
Now, I don’t know what he’s talking about, but to me the actual quote is less inflammatory than the paraphrased quote.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
Is this guy another slave?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Bradshaw says “Look at this Jimmy. Like you were chasing that bucket of chicken” It was directed at Jimmy Johnson, not Reggie Bush. But, might as well go ahead and make a blog post about it demanding his head.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
NHOH
November 5th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
Huh, it’s almost like
is disingenuous.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
I like how the N-Word and an actual anecdote about chasing an actual bucket of chicken are now equivalents.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:39 AM
Judging by the author’s tone I’m guessing he’s Duffy-Junior, and the 20 hour gap between this post appearing on Deadspin and here suggests kid’s got some work to do to reach his idol.

November 5th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Curt Menefee (sp?) of Fox is going to try and clear this up.
Seems like it was some type of joke. Bad timing, if that’s the case – Bush running fast, and then tossing in a chicken joke?
Wonder what the reaction would have been like if Bradshaw made a joke about a white running back and tossed in something polish/jewish/german/whatever. i get that it’s live TV, but can we just tone down the douchebaggery and everyone quit trying so damn hard?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:43 AM

November 5th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
Seems like it was some type of joke. Bad timing, if that’s the case – Bush running fast, and then tossing in a chicken joke?
Or it’s bad luck that what Bradshaw (and possibly Jimmy) saw blowing was a bucket that contained/used to contain chicken?
What if he said “ran like Rocky Balboa chasing that chicken”?
Holy non-issue.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Well, it’s not really friend chicken per se, but Zaxby’s is the best.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:49 AM
“Robbie Himmler is running likes he needs a bathroom after drinking beer and eating sausages und sauerkraut.”
Hmmmm. I guess that’s insulting.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Yes I’m sure you would love it if you had no media gaffes to post about.

Phil Simms was awful last night. He should have stayed in England.

Paddy is running like it’s two for one whiskey bottles at Tesco and his wife has been back-talking lately.

Political correctness shouldn’t eliminate the ability to measure situations in context. Nevermind the fact he was actually referring to Jimmy Johnson when speaking of the bucket of chicken.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
how is Zaxby’s not fried chicken?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:57 AM
They serve chicken tenders and chicken burgers. But when I say friend chicken, I was thinking those big ass buckets with legs, thighs, and breasts. I meant to say Zaxby’s is the best fast food place that’s known for their chicken product.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Hmmm. Yeah, he’s an unpaid intern. I think he’s African-American, too. Sometimes people make remarks that can be construed as racially insensitive…like chasing a bucket of chicken. I don’t think you meant it that way?
November 5th, 2012 at 10:58 AM
As opposed to the Indian groom method of diesel.
So I asked a guy about this and he brought up a religious rite whereby
wives kill themselves when their husband dies and he’s looking into it. He also brought up 1.2 Billion people like you and amount of poor people and that dowries have been outlawed since 1960.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:59 AM
So what that black people eat a lot of fried chicken. The shit is good. Watermelon is good too. Grape soda is alright once in a while.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:59 AM

The Score here is having bradshaw on once a week to talk NFL (the score is a cbs station). he said on the first show that he wanted to try radio spots bc so many folks do it. he is hilarously uneven
you truly do not know what he’s going to say next, regardless of the qwuestion, and the hosts just let him ramble and giggle about it later. bradshaw has some great stories too
much rather listen to him than stuttering malaprop cliche machine Dan Hampton.
