Terry Bradshaw
FOX is Known For Making Good Decisions

Hey, Vinny Chase found a worse actor than himself
It’s pretty easy to bash on FOX considering all the horrific blunders they’ve made in the past. Off the top of my head, they cancelled Family Guy, butchered their BCS broadcasts, employed Joe Buck and recently lost a lawsuit brought against them by the writers of Scouts Inc. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that most of their executives were actually 8-year-olds in a grown-ups bodies ala Tom Hanks in “Big”. It also won’t surprise me when they make their next predictable failure, like say building a sitcom around a former NFL player.
How is Micheal Strahan going to carry his own show? He can’t even make me believe that he likes Terry Bradshaw. I guess this can’t be any worse than FOX’s other non-animated sitcoms. Have they had a hit since “Martin”?
I actually blame the other networks for making FOX believe this could work. When “Dancing With the Stars” came out, I thought it would be a huge flop that only appealed to idiots. Depressingly, 10-million idiots later, that debacle is still going and gaining steam. Reality shows distort TV execs judgment to the point that a sitcom starring a defensive lineman seems like a brilliant idea. This will probably end up being one of their best decisions of the year after “Who Wants to Molest a 5th Grader” only becomes a minor hit.
If you’re going to give an athlete a show, it needs to be Deion Sanders or Shaquille O’Neal. Charles Barkley could be funny if you just followed him around with a camera, but I’m not convinced he can read, so memorizing lines is out. Michael Strahan in a sitcom could actually be less popular than Tiki Barber.
0-16 is Your Daughter’s Fault
The Detroit Lions, after being blasted by the Saints to fall to 0-15, successfully held a press conference yesterday. Put that one in the win column… oh there’s not one of those? Well, is there a non-loss column? No huh, well give them a gold star.
During the presser, Lions former coach Rod Marinelli was grilled by former Detroit journalist Rob Parker about why defensive coordinator Joe Barry hadn’t yet been fired. You see, Barry is married to Marinelli’s daughter so the whole season should be blamed on her.
Marinelli must have immediately thought back to that moment 20 years ago, when Doc Brown came by in his Delorean and said “It’s your kids Rod, something’s gotta be done about your kids!” But instead of going with the Doc and saving his coaching career, he just stuck around the present and contracted Parkinsons… oh wait that was somebody else, I forget what Rod did instead but it was a mistake.
The point is, if Marinelli’s daughter had married a winner like Monty Kiffin or Cam Cameron, Detroit wouldn’t be staring a winless season in the face.
One last note, was Terry Bradshaw the voice of reason in the above video? TERRY BRADSHAW??
