Terry Bradshaw Criticized For 'Fat-Shaming' Chiefs' Winning Coach Andy Reid At Super Bowl
Fox football host Terry Bradshaw overdid the weight jabs at Chiefs Coach Andy Reid after his team won the Super Bowl on Sunday, according to observers. (Watch the video below.)
As the Chiefs celebrated their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles for their second championship in the 2020s, Bradshaw summoned Reid for an interview thusly: “Big guy, lemme get the big guy in here. C’mon, waddle over here.”
The ex-quarterback later urged Reid to “have a cheeseburger on us,” perhaps referencing Reid’s declaration that he would eat a cheeseburger after K.C.’s previous Super Bowl win.

"Big guy... let me get the big guy in here. Come on, waddle over here."

Viewers said Bradshaw’s hurtful joshing, at a time of perhaps Reid’s greatest professional achievement, was “disgraceful” and “fat-shaming.”
USA Today’s For the Win actually called on Fox Sports to realize “it’s time to stop giving Terry Bradshaw a role in NFL coverage. It’s getting beyond uncomfortable to watch at this point.”
Bradshaw, who was criticized for a clunky interview after the NFC championship, took plenty of heat on a bigger sports stage.
Damn Terry Bradshaw, why are you fat-shaming Andy Reid? He said, "Hey big guy, waddle over here." Then as Andy Reid was walking off, he said "Have a cheeseburger on us." #SuperBowlLVII#SuperBowl

I don’t think the cheeseburger comment crossed the line but “waddling over her” certainly did. I think it may be time for Terry Bradshaw to step down.

The waddle part was bad, but didn’t Reid say sometning about eating a cheeseburger in his interview with Jimmy Johnson?
