The 75-year-old legend has been caught in impulsive moments very recently, as his comments landed him in a pickle. Bradshaw was invited to the trophy presentation for the Super Bowl back in February. During the ceremony, the former NFL star made a joke about coach Andy Reid’s size. In a stunning remark, Bradshaw called him a ‘big guy’ while asking him to ‘waddle’ over to him.
“C'mon, waddle over here.”

Critics marked his comments as fat-shaming, referring to Andy Reid as someone who needs to waddle. However, his continual jokes on Andy’s size continued as he closed his interview with a ‘have a cheeseburger on us’, which a few fans seemed to dislike. These are not the only times Bradshaw has managed to upset an array of fans.
Bradshaw’s casual comments have often been marked as being reckless to some extent. Additionally, this moment of Chef Antonia’s awkward reaction to the cheek kiss has once again raised the eyebrows of NFL followers. However, his unsettling style made the Green Bay Packers versus Detroit Lions matchup more memorable.
Then again, his legendary and charismatic presence is undoubtedly cherished by Pittsburgh Steelers followers and football aficionados alike.
