NFL analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw drew some controversy prior to Super Bowl LVII in which he jokingly expressed a desire to drop dead live on the air in order to help ratings.
And now, he's in more hot water for his interaction with Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid following the Chiefs victory. Bradshaw has been accused of "fat shaming" Reid during the postgame celebration.
“Big guy. Let me get the big guy in here,” Bradshaw said to Reid as the 64-year-old coach approached him and Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt. “Come on, waddle over here.”
Bradshaw laughed before moving on with the interview, which he concluded by telling Reid: “Have a cheeseburger on us.”
To his credit, Reid himself has cracked jokes about his weight routinely. Asked prior to the Super Bowl how he drinks coffee, Reid explained that he didn't and also had this to say:
“I just get up and go,” he said. “I got endless energy for a chubby guy.”
Was Bradshaw out of line for his comments?
