Fox’s Terry Bradshaw causes stir with ‘bucket of chicken’ comment
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. |

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

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

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.

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.

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