Terry Bradshaw got instantly roasted for his Tua Tagovailoa take with a Fox graphic

Oops!

Everyone knows that Tua Tagovailoa struggles when the temperature drops.

Well, everyone except Terry Bradshaw, apparently.

The Hall of Famer was on Fox as usual before the Thanksgiving game broadcast on the network, and in a preview of Thursday night’s matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins, Bradshaw had this to say: “Folks, you’re in a treat tonight, because the weather doesn’t bother Tua.”

Fox then ran a graphic showing how much the weather bothered Tua. Bradshaw tried to save it by saying “Think positive!” but it was too late. And as we saw, Tagovailoa once against struggled in cold weather.

Two Steelers legends support Fields—but Tomlin has the final say

The greatest QBs in Steelers history, Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger, agree that Justin Fields should be the starter moving forward.

While Head Coach Mike Tomlin believes in exploring what QB Russell Wilson is capable of, potentially at the expense of the 4-2 former starting quarterback Justin Fields, the two greatest quarterbacks in Steelers franchise history hold an entirely different point of view.

Future Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger publicly stated that the only stats the Steelers should focus on, when evaluating Fields, are his win-loss record. Roethlisberger argued that the combination of Fields’ strong arm and athleticism is more than enough to keep him as the starter.

Another legendary Steelers quarterback, four-time Super Bowl winner Terry Bradshaw, had a similar opinion on the matter.  Speaking to TMZ Sports, the original ‘TB12′ shared that he believes Fields “played well enough to keep the job” and should not be benched in favor of Wilson.


Andrew Filliponi, host of 93.7 The Fan, hit the nail right on the head. However, the only opinion that matters on gameday is Tomlin’s, and fans will simply have to hope for best in Week 7.

Steelers’ VP Art Rooney Jr. named a 2025 Hall of Fame candidate

Beloved member of the Rooney family, Steelers’ VP Art Rooney Jr., is one of 25 candidates from the Contributor category for 2025 HOF.

Steelers’ Vice President Art Rooney Jr., son of the Steelers’ founder Art Rooney Sr. and father of Steelers’ owner Art Rooney II, is one of 25 candidates named for the Contributor category in the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Rooney Jr. served as the Steelers’ Personnel Director from 1965 to 1986, before becoming the Steelers’ Vice President in 1987.

Without Rooney Jr., the Pittsburgh Steelers’ generational success might have never come to fruition, as he  and the scouting department was responsible for 10 Hall of Fame caliber players from 1969 to 1974.  Players drafted or signed from his guidance included ‘Mean’ Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, and Mel Blount, just to name a few.

The Rooney family is a vital and beloved piece of Steelers history, and in some ways, the heart of Pittsburgh itself.  Rooney Jr. created the tradition of winning for the ‘Steel City’, and much of what we fans love today about our great team is because of him.

Terry Bradshaw’s weird attempt at a ‘Carolina accent’ was incorrect at best and corny at worst

What was Terry Bradshaw trying to accomplish here?

I fully understand the plight of an NFL broadcaster. Sometimes, you need to fill dead air time and have something meaningful to say at all costs. But sometimes, it’s probably better to just serve up the cookie-cutter platitudes before veering into weird territory.

This is a good reminder after hearing Fox’s Terry Bradshaw impression of a “Carolina accent” before the Cincinnati Bengals’ matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

While discussing Andy Dalton’s resurgent game in Week 3, Bradshaw unveiled a corny “Carolina accent” for no apparent reason. And of course the rest of the Fox panel seemed rightfully confused by … whatever Bradshaw was trying to accomplish here:

Next time Bradshaw thinks about using a (incorrect) regional accent during the introduction of an NFL game, he should probably pump the brakes.

Is this the Mount Rushmore of Steelers players?

The Steelers have had so many great players over the decades, it’s hard to narrow it down to just four.

Over the decades, the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen a massive amount of team success and have a long line of players either in the Pro Football Hall of Fame already or will be soon. But if you were creating your own personal Mouth Rushmore of former Steelers, which four guys make the list?

NFL Throwback did their Mouth Rushmore for all 32 teams and for the Steelers, they went with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Terry Bradshaw along with linebacker Jack Lambert and defensive tackle Joe Greene.

Roethlisberger and Bradshaw are the two best quarterbacks in franchise history and the source of endless debate about which one is actually No. 1. Bradshaw won four Super Bowls but many look at the numbers Big Ben put up with far less talent and rank him higher.

The one guy you just can’t debate is defensive tackle Joe Greene. Greene was the guy who turned the defense around and was the centerpiece of the Steel Curtain. Many consider Lambert on the same level as Greene while others consider former teammate Jack Hamm the better player.

Personally we have no qualms with this group of four. If we were only going with one player from a particular position, I’d probably replace Bradshaw with one of the great defensive backs this team has had. Troy Polamalu, Mel Blount or Rod Woodson all are worthy of consideration.

Terry Bradshaw offers take on Steelers rumored trade for Justin Fields

Terry Bradshaw doesn’t live under a rock and has heard of the unsubstantiated rumors that the Steelers are in the mix for Justin Fields.

This offseason, it’s become a trend to ask ex-Pittsburgh Steelers who they think their former team should start at quarterback this year. They all seem to have different answers, but Terry Bradshaw is adamant.

Kenny Pickett.

Bradshaw doesn’t live under a rock and has heard all the unsubstantiated rumors that the Steelers are in the mix for Justin Fields. Let’s not forget that the Chicago Bears have been mum on their plans for him. Sure, they have the first pick of the 2024 NFL draft, but will they continue trying to fill it with a quarterback when they have one right under their nose that, reportedly, needy teams are clamoring for?

Nevertheless, being a Pickett supporter, Bradshaw thinks trading for Fields isn’t the way to go.

“I say trading for Justin Fields is a huge mistake,” Bradshaw said on The Rich Eisen Show. “You don’t need Fields.”

Instead, he suggests building up the third-year quarterback.

“Stay with what you’ve got. Just build Pickett up. Get him a receiver, get him an explosive tight end, give him another tackle, a guard. Have the ability to protect him. Give him guys on the outside. This is a passing league now. Give him people out there that can run and catch the football and that are smart. He’s fine. That’s their guy.”

That seems like a lot of needs to get Pickett on track so fans can take him more seriously as the potential future of the franchise. But there’s no question the Steelers plan to address the offensive line in this draft. Now all we have to do is hope they get it right.

Steelers legendary QB Terry Bradshaw on what Kenny Pickett needs to be successful

Terry Bradshaw offered up his wishlist of player the Steelers need to make Kenny Pickett successful.

The biggest roster decision head coach Mike Tomlin and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith must sort out this offseason is which quarterback gives the Pittsburgh Steelers the best chance to win and which quarterback will best make use of the talent on the team.

According to Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw, that quarterback is Kenny Pickett. But he says it with some huge caveats. Bradshaw talks up the poise of Pickett and his potential then follows it up with a laundry list of players the team needs to put around him to make him great.

Why is (Brock) Purdy successful with the 49ers? Look at all that talent and look at that coach calling plays. And that kid’s got the poise. Kenny has the poise. I just want my quarterback to be poised. If he’s poised, then his brain is gonna be calm, he’s gonna see the coverages, he’s gonna be quick with his decision-making, and Pickett has all of that.

Build Pickett up. Get him a receiver, get him an explosive tight end, give him another tackle, a guard. Have the ability to protect him. Give him guys on the outside. This is a passing league now. Give him people out there that can run and catch the football and that are smart. He’s fine. That’s their guy.

If a quarterback with all the talent the Steelers already have still needs all the players Bradshaw listed, are they really the answer?

Super Bowl Stats: All-Time Touchdown Passes by College

How haven’t some of these schools had it happen just once?

In the history of the Super Bowl there have been 154 touchdown passes thrown, a number that is almost certain to grow Sunday when the Chiefs take on the 49ers.

We can all certainly name a good number of the quarterbacks that threw those touchdown passe: Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, and plenty of others – but which colleges have produced the most productive Super Bowl quarterbacks all time?

Below is every touchdown pass in Super Bowl history broken down by the college each quarterback attended (last played college football).

43 different schools have produced a player that has thrown a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl, but not all 146 touchdown passes were thrown by quarterbacks.

Here are the all-time touchdown passes in Super Bowl history thrown by college.  Make sure to go all the way to the bottom to realize some of the powerhouses that never had the feat.

Why Terry Bradshaw won’t hand out the NFC championship trophy and why he missed Fox’s pregame show

Here’s why Terry Bradshaw was out for Lions – Niners.

Normally, we’ve seen Terry Bradshaw handing out the NFC championship trophy to the victor when the contest airs on Fox, and he’s done the same after the Super Bowl when it’s been on the network.

But he’s not going to do it after the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions play on Sunday night, and he won’t be on the broadcast’s pre- or postgame shows. Wondering why that is? You came to the right place.

It turns out Bradshaw is “under the weather,” per the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand. Hoping he’s OK! And now you know the answer to that question:

Taylor Swift fans aren’t going to be happy with Terry Bradshaw’s Eras Tour lip sync theory

Taylor Swift fans might have some beef with Terry Bradshaw over this one.

This one isn’t going to make Taylor Swift fans happy.

Pro Football Hall of Famer and Fox NFL analyst Terry Bradshaw also happens to be a singer — seriously! He sings! And on an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, his take is going viral.

“You cannot run around a stage and sing live,” Bradshaw said, referring to the three hours Swift performs during each stop of the Eras Tour “If I walk once all the way to the right side of the stage, I have to take a break.”

Now: Bradshaw laughed and said Freddy Mercury could do it. And I’ll also add that Bradshaw is 75 years old, so it’s probably different for him.

Either way, Swift fans may not love this one:
