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. |

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.

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.

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".
