An on-air mix-up has left Fox NFL Sunday fans calling for cohost Terry Bradshaw to hang up his microphone.
Bradshaw joined his colleagues Curt Menefee, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Rob Gronkowski for coverage of the NFC Championship game between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, January 25. At one point during the broadcast, Menefee cut to a sideline interview between Kristina Pink and New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez following the team’s AFC Championship win earlier in the day. (The Patriots defeated the Denver Broncos with a score of 10-7.)
