TERRY TELLS IS LIKE IT IS, AGAIN
When the folks at FOX decided to move the pregame show back to the studio, the official position was that it cost more than expected to take the production from city to city.
Terry Bradshaw tells a different story, according to the Monroe (La.) News Star.
"We're back in the studio because last year didn't work. Taking the show on the road wasn't good. Viewers let it be known that they didn't like it. The ratings were down. We had Curt Menefee, Joe Buck in and out. One week you've got this personality, the next week that personality. You don't know where you can go, what you can do, and it showed on the air. Wasn't a good year by any of us.
"Now, it's Curt Menefee. We all know him, we've worked with him, we like him, and we're back where we should be. And we're better in the studio.
"You don't want to be in Philadelphia and say they don't have a chance to win today because of this . . . Jimmy Johnson just took a beating! We had a full can of beer thrown at Jimmy and it hit the awning right above his head. If it would have hit him it'd been the hospital or could have killed him.
"I hit a lady in the face with a football. Knocked her down. She deserved it, though. The stuff she was saying."
Priceless stuff from Bradshaw. Man, we're so glad he isn't dead.

Q. Doesn't Howie Long have some kids coming up?
"Howie's son, Kyle, is 6-7, 305. Throws a 93 miles per hour fastball with a change-up, a curve, slider. Left-handed. And the major league scouts are just drooling over this kid. But all the major schools are after this kid ... Notre Dame, Ohio State, he visited Florida. He's a stud.
"His oldest son, Chris, is a senior didn't come out for the draft but he's a first rounder next year. He's a 6-5, 285 defensive end, playing the two-gap and he is just amazing. His youngest kid is the good looking one and he plays quarterback. He's 6-1, about 190. Set a state record right there throwing touchdown passes. There's your quarterback right there. I can get him."
