Terry Bradshaw Responds to ‘Bucket of Chicken’ Controversy
According to TMZ, FOX NFL analyst Terry Bradshaw is “really upset” because he’s being accused of racism.
The accusations come in light of him comparing a Reggie Bush touchdown run on Sunday to someone chasing a “bucket of chicken.” However, Bradshaw tells TMZ there’s a simple explanation — that his co-analyst-host, Jimmy Johnson, is a fiend for chicken!

According to TMZ, Bradshaw said he was unaware there was any controversy until friends started calling him this morning.
Bradshaw explained that it’s a Sunday tradition for JJ to order a bucket of KFC after they wrap the pregame show — and yesterday was no exception. Bradshaw says Johnson “won’t share it with anybody.”
Johnson backed up the bucket tale, saying, “Every Sunday I get four pieces of fried chicken, dark meat, and I eat it right there on the set.”
Bradshaw added that yesterday’s chicken comment was an innocent shot at one of his co-stars.
He adds, “I’m having a hard time with this … because that’s not me. I never put those two things together because I don’t think like that.”
“I understand why people are upset because they don’t know the inside story,” he says.
