Terry Bradshaw’s bizarre accent confuses Fox NFL cohosts

Terry Bradshaw’s colleagues didn’t believe it.

During “Fox NFL Sunday” before Week 4, Bradshaw talked about Andy Dalton signing his second consecutive start for the Carolina Panthers and facing his former team, the Cincinnati Bengals.

Bradshaw, 76, did this with what he would describe as a “Carolina” accent, leaving the Fox crew scratching their heads.

“Well, that’s the question everyone’s asking right now,” Bradshaw began with the accent. “In Carolina, Andy Dalton will face his former team, the Bengals. And I don’t think anyone would have predicted what he did last week: 300 yards and three touchdown passes.

Howie Long interjected, wondering if Louisiana native Bradshaw was trying to do a Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken accent, while Michael Strahan said the Hall of Fame quarterback sounded like Rosco P. Coltrane, the sheriff of ‘ The Dukes of Hazzard’.

Viewers were also perplexed by Bradshaw’s attempt at an accent.

“Come on Terry, the people of North Carolina have suffered enough this week,” one X user wrote in response to Awful Annuncing’s video of the moment, referring to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.

“Terry Bradshaw sounded like Forrest Gump. I’ve lived in NC for 25 years. I’ve never heard anyone sound like that,” replied another X user.

This isn’t the first time this season that Bradshaw has puzzled his colleagues.

In Week 1, at the start of the pregame show, Bradshaw tried to express his joy at being back with the crew for another NFL season.

“I haven’t been this excited since my aunt taught me how to spin the bottle,” Bradshaw said at the time. “This is a great day.”

“We’re starting the season like this, aren’t we?” host Curt Menefee replied.
