An attempt at an inside joke by former NFL quarterback and Fox studio analyst Terry Bradshaw during the Fox halftime show on Sunday has caused a bit of a controversy.
While describing Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush's remarkable 18-yard touchdown run against the Indianapolis Colts, a play where Bush made half the Colts defense look completely silly, Bradshaw took a shot at his colleague, former NFL head coach Jimmy Johnson.
"Look at this, Jimmy," said Bradshaw, "like he was chasing that bucket of chicken that the wind was blowing the other day."
Because Bush is African-American, many have jumped to the conclusion that the mention of a bucket of chicken means there was a racial element to Bradshaw's comment. In the video, Fox studio host Curt Menefee, who is African-American, audibly groans and asks, "What are we going to do with him?" http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...5262--nfl.html

On Monday morning, Menefee took to Twitter to say that Bradshaw's comment was actually an inside joke at Fox, where Johnson's love of fried chicken has apparently reached a mythical status, and that this whole affair is much ado about nothing.

Terry Bradshaw is one of my favorite things ever.

Yup he is a funny guy

Jesus christ this world is filled with thin skinned pussies and people who want to walk on egg shells around them

Bradshaw said something stupid? Hard to figure. Wasn't he a Rhodes scholar?

It's like a game to some people. Try and catch someone saying something that might be objectionable.

He'll get fired for this.

He didn't say anything stupid. I call people out for dumb comments. The idea that a white guy is never allowed to talk about fried chicken when at all referencing a black guy is just plain absurd.

Hell I love fried chicken

I don't think so. Not unless they've been wanting to fire him.

FYP

He's going to fry.

hope not

Fixed

If a black person said this, no big deal.

It's a shame that there is such a double standard.

Can anyone read anymore?

Even if he meant it as a racial thing, is it actually a derogatory comment? Can't people just joke about racial differences, in a fun way, without people getting upset.

No.

That is racist.

LMAO

If you can't laugh at that, then you lead a miserable life.

Nope. Not ever. None of us are allowed to joke about our racial differences in a fun, jovial way.

^^^This.

White people dont like fried chicken?

Of course not. The Colonel is most certainly black.

Romeo is black, but my guess is, if somebody made that comment about him... there would be no accusation of racism.

Visual evidence of the Colonel's blackness.

This.^

Everyone needs to nut up and **** off.

Quit being little pussies and bags of douche.

Everyone would know it's a joke because he's too fat to run after anything

oh, I could see RAC's fat ass running after a bucket of chicken...

I could see him running after a PB&J...a basket of skrimps...french fries and tater tots...biscuits and gravy...

What? I like fried chicken, watermelon and grape flavored soft drinks. I am the official black person of Chiefs Planet though.

I like all of them too, I mean if it's alright with you and not racial or anything :rolleyes:

Not a fan of watermelon. Cantaloupe is the bomb though.

I think errybody loves 'em some grape drank.

If my son fell off a wooden rail, and landed in between Romeo Crennel and a bucket of chicken...no way in hell do I try to save him.

LMAOLMAO

Wait. Are you black?

I love all that too, and amazingly I'm white.

I play ball with a lot of black folks and I'd be lost if I didn't have fried chicken jokes to bandy about during and after games. The only people who don't think that's funny are people who never laugh. It's out of control. TB sits up there every Sunday smoking and joking with a panel which is half black. If his fellow-panel members are offended then do something. Otherwise, MYOB.

Yeah, same here. We used to eat fried chicken and watermelon at informal family functions.

And that's why you're the Official Black Person of ChiefsPlanet.

I DO NOT CARE!!!!! My opinion matters most so screw the rest.

That bitch ain't even black. GTFO Bugeater. **** you.

Exactly. Factor in my love of the bubble butt and soulful music, and my jaunty "**** the man" attitude...it was a landslide.

This is a fresh and interesting take.

In related news...

Could you imagine if they had a white entertainment television channel?

I offered to vacate the throne if you beat me in a poll. You declined, the title is mine.

Neither was Shogun, and he held that title for over 2 years. We don't discriminate here.

LMAO

Jared Allen twisting QB's into a pretzel dipped in mustard.

Hell I even think Vailpass held the title for a year.

Hell no
I am a whitey

LMAO

Beware...this cannot be unseen:

Oh shit. I forgot about that. Duh. Carry on brother.

It really pisses me off when I hear shit like this.

There's true racism in a million different situations, a million different places.. And you try to pull out the card here? Give me a ****ing break, you pieces of shit.

You realize that's fatism, right?

Dat assism son.

Look buddy, the spirits of millions of deceased slaves are looking down from the heavens, screaming "Oh Lord, the horror is still going on!"

:toast:

I need some kind of "ism" in my life.

I guess the fatties will work.

:evil:

Hey...I made chicken wings yesterday... Awesome...

True. IF they can find something that someone MIGHT find objectionable-then
SPIN it to bring someone down.

That is what is ruining the country.

Anything can be objectionable if we work hard enough at it.

At least Menefee stood up for him-The only mistake Bradshaw made was using an inside joke on the air. Broadcast rule no no. Dr. Johnny would say that too.

LMAO Really? That's what's "ruining the country"?

He should join cp, he'll fit right in.

As Chappelle said. "Who doesn't love fried chicken? That shit is delicious!"

No he won't.

I know what he was talking about. I looked for it on youtube. I saw a video with football players chasing a bucket of chicken. It was funny. I'll bet he saw that video. I looked but can't find it.

Curt Menefee is an Uncle Tom.

Terry Bradshaw turned NFL morning shows from discussion about weekly match ups and stories about the season into 5 guys yelling over each other.

I have no idea why this became the chosen format, but I don't watch these shows anymore because of it.

And then the true racists post it as proof people shouldn't make fun of them calling a black guy "boy".

Don't we all?

nah I hate everything purple when it comes to drinks. Fried chicken and corn bread and watermelon though....all great

I don't think I could trust another human who didn't, to be honest.

I miss the Inside the NFL with Len Dawson, Nick Bounichonti, and Jerry Glanville.

Yeah I can't say I've met anothe person who didn't like any kind of chicken, let alone fried. Besides vegetarians obviously.

I think many vegetarians will still eat chicken, it’s the hard core militant vegans that only torture plants for their sustenance.
