I'm not going to pretend Terry Bradshaw doesn't deserve his flowers.

I personally don't consider Bradshaw one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time -- even if he played in a different passing era -- but there's no denying his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and his four Super Bowl championships with the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers. He deserves to be immortalized and respected for what he's accomplished. Full stop.

That said, I'm not sure why Bradshaw felt the need to share a somewhat obnoxious story about his experiences with the pressure of being a Super Bowl quarterback ... on live television during Sunday's Super Bowl.

I say this because Bradshaw's segue appeared pretty unfiltered, as in he seemingly shared the loud, abrasive commentary some fans used to shower him with in Pittsburgh. Bradshaw's sidebar was so puzzling that a pan over to his NFL on Fox cohosts (Curt Menefee, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson) showed all four other members of the panel visibly confused over what the legendary Steeler said.

I get it, fellas. I had the same reaction watching the clip below:

I'm not going to denigrate Bradshaw's lived experience. This story likely came from one of the most important times in his life. He should feel comfortable talking about what happened to him, like any person.

With that said, there's a time and place for some commentary.

Saying something like this on national television during Super Bowl coverage was not the time nor the place.
