During halftime of the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, the Fox broadcast showed reporter Kristina Pink interviewing New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez. The Patriots had secured a Super Bowl bid with a 10-7 road victory over the Denver Broncos earlier on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Everyone at the NFL on Fox desk in Seattle was aware of what was going on, except for Terry Bradshaw.<\/p>\n
After Fox showed Pink\u2019s interview with Gonzalez, Bradshaw proceeded to talk about Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what, Sam Darnold, they turned him loose in the first half; Klint Kubiak, offensive coordinator for Seattle,\u201d Bradshaw said, seconds after the Patriots-themed interview. \u201cI think he said, \u2018Oh, I can trust [Darnold] with the football today.\u2019 209 yards passing and a touchdown in the first half. Sam Darnold is playing great football for Seattle.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s actually fine analysis of the game that was at halftime, but that\u2019s not what the show was setting the Fox NFL Sunday crew to talk about in that particular moment.<\/p>\n
A few seconds of silence followed before Michael Strahan began laughing.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I mean, he is, but we thought we were talking about that first game,\u201d Strahan said through laughter, trying to save the segment. \u201cBut it\u2019s okay. Because, I mean, it was a great first game. I think whoever is going to play either one of these teams, I think the Patriots are going to have their hands full with either one of these teams. But you never know. As we see today, second-year quarterback. Back in the Super Bowl for the Patriots. 12th Super Bowl. Congratulations to them. It\u2019s going to be a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bradshaw has been a key face of the Fox NFL Sunday crew since 1994, but the last few years have featured frequent<\/a> gaffes<\/a> and bizarre<\/a> moments<\/a> for the 77-year-old.<\/p>\n
However, Fox NFL Sunday host Curt Menefee doesn\u2019t see Bradshaw ever walking away from the job<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s never gonna happen! They\u2019re going to be carrying him out in a hearse \u2014 he is not leaving the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
