Terry Bradshaw isn’t backing down when it comes to calling out Aaron Rodgers. The longtime FOX analyst and Pittsburgh Steelers legend reignited his long-standing feud with the former New York Jets quarterback in a series of blistering comments that left no room for misinterpretation.
During a recent segment, Bradshaw once again slammed Rodgers over his infamous 2021 COVID vaccination controversy.
“It would have been nice if [Rodgers] would have just come to the Naval Academy and learned how to be honest,” Bradshaw said.
The reference goes back to Rodgers misleading the public about being “immunized” rather than vaccinated, an incident that cost him a game and a wave of public trust. Bradshaw, clearly still incensed, isn’t letting it go.
Steelers legend mocks idea of Rodgers in Pittsburgh
But Bradshaw didn’t stop there. With rumors swirling that the Steelers may consider Rodgers as a veteran solution under center, Bradshaw eviscerated the notion by calling the team’s interest in Aaron Rodgers ‘a joke’, according to Pro Football Network.
“That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there,” he claimed.
It was a savage dig not just at Rodgers’ personality, but at his well-publicized affinity for unconventional lifestyle choices-from darkness retreats to spiritual cleanses and isolation therapies. It’s clear Bradshaw’s criticism goes beyond football; it’s personal.
And the feeling isn’t mutual-Rodgers has never spoken positively about Bradshaw either. The two iconic QBs might share the same No. 12 and MVP hardware, but any connection ends there. Bradshaw made it clear: Rodgers isn’t welcome in Pittsburgh, at least not in the eyes of the franchise’s most decorated signal-caller.
Bradshaw defends Kenny Pickett while slamming Steelers’ roster construction
While torching Rodgers, Bradshaw also took the opportunity to defend Kenny Pickett, the young quarterback the Steelers drafted to be the future of the franchise. Bradshaw believes Pickett never got a fair shot.
“I liked Kenny Pickett,” Bradshaw said. “I liked him at Pitt. And I know him, I know what he’s like. And when they got him to Pittsburgh, here’s what they didn’t do. They didn’t protect him … they didn’t get him an offensive line. They wanted to run the football. But they didn’t have an offensive line that could protect. And they didn’t have weapons. He had no wide receivers to speak of.”
