Michael Strahan and Terry Bradshaw break rank after 'the craziest segment' on NFL show
Fox Sports' NFL Sunday studio show is known for its hilarious moments, and the most recent episode was no different as the hosts were left in stitches
Jimmy Johnson sparked a wave of amusement among his FOX Sports NFL Sunday cohorts as he fumbled while dissecting the day's games.
With Los Angeles Rams' top dog Matthew Stafford slipping into the guest analyst seat, Johnson joined Howie Long, Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, and Michael Strahan in pondering the Atlanta Falcons' clash with the Carolina Panthers. Following Stafford's incisive thoughts on the face-off, Bradshaw extolled the Rams sensation for his snappy commentary under duress, even humorously suggesting that Stafford might take over his spot, drawing laughter from the rest of the guests.
When it was Johnson's moment to shine, his mind veered off to the New Orleans Saints instead of the slated Los Angeles Chargers versus Denver Broncos contest. Long couldn't help but blurt out, "You forgot! " which set off an infectious bout of chuckles from Bradshaw, Menefee, and Strahan at Johnson's slip-up.
Johnson soldiered on amidst the laughter, detailing the dynamics between the two actual contenders. After the 81-year-old legend wrapped up his analysis, Strahan hailed the bit as "the craziest segment" they'd witnessed in the studio in ages.
During a segment that caught everyone's attention, NFL icon Terry Bradshaw didn't hold back on his views regarding the New England Patriots' latest strategy. The seasoned sports analyst slammed the decision to sideline Jacoby Brissett in favour of rookie Drake Maye, exclaiming: "It's a terrible move. Brissett was doing everything he could to keep that thing going. That's a horrible offensive line. The one key word there is pressure.
To drive his point home, Bradshaw invoked the spirit of rock royalty, musing to his colleagues, "Freddie Mercury of Queen, remember the song? " before continuing, "Pressure! Coming down... you remember the song? Drake Maye will be under pressure. This is a bad move. Five different offensive line combinations already, and your starting center, [David] Andrews, has been out. This is a terrible idea. Jacoby Brissett deserves to keep starting and let that kid sit."
While Bradshaw's analysis was certainly noteworthy, it was his impromptu performance that had his cohosts chuckling. Howie Long teased him, asking, "When you went through that in the mirror last night, did it come off better? " To which Bradshaw quipped with a smile, "Howie, you're not going to believe this. I just came up with that. Right here, on live television," Michael Strahan was left impressed by the veteran's quick wit even at 76.
"The way your brain thinks blows us all away," Strahan confessed.
