GLENDALE, Ariz. — 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.
Just two weeks after Bradshaw essentially ruined the trophy ceremony for the Philadelphia Eagles at the NFC Championship, Bradshaw was back on the podium to ruin yet another presentation — this time, at the Super Bowl. When it came time to introduce Andy Reid, Bradshaw opted to make multiple jokes about the Super Bowl-winning head coach’s weight.
Even if Bradshaw was trying to be funny (he failed), there was seriously no justification to make these remarks.
Terry Bradshaw to Andy Reid:
"Big guy… let me get the big guy in here. Come on, waddle over here."

Reid just won the Super Bowl for the second time, and instead of highlighting that accomplishment, Bradshaw thought it was appropriate to focus on Reid’s appearance and tell him to “waddle” over to him. That came after calling him “big guy” a couple times.
Enough is enough with Bradshaw.
No wonder fans found that whole postgame exchange entirely inappropriate.
This was how Twitter reacted

This genuinely upset me. There’s a lot more to Andy Reid than his size. He just won the Super Bowl! https://t.co/sggTnWGeZo

Terry Bradshaw is basically Fred Willard in “Best in Show” at this point.

Why 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’s old. It’s honestly embarrassing!

It really was uncalled for.
