Terry Bradshaw and FOX colleagues snubbed by Chiefs as brutal NFL reality sets in

The show features some of America’s most popular Hall of Famers – including Pittsburgh Steelers icon Terry Bradshaw, New York Giants legend Michael Strahan, and championship-winning coach Jimmy Johnson – with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady in the announcer’s booth and beloved sportscaster Erin Andrews reporting from the field.

FOX will be exclusively broadcasting Super Bowl LIX, which is taking place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs will try to become the first team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls against the Philadelphia Eagles.

But do football players actually listen to the analysts? Mirror U.S. Sports asked Chiefs stars on Wednesday to name their favorite FOX analyst, and they all struggled to do so. “I don’t know,” said offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia while laughing before his fellow rookie Ethan Driskell replied: Is Gronk (Rob Gronkowski) on FOX? I’d say Gronk, I guess. I feel like Gronk would be cool to hang out with. Gronk’s probably great.”

Safety Bryan Cook said he doesn’t “look too much” at what FOX’s analysts say, while linebacker Cole Christiansen replied: “I have no idea brother.”  Backup QB Carson Wentz was complimentary about FOX’s team but failed to name a favorite. He said: “Not really, I think they all do a great job. Believe it or not, I don’t watch a ton of football – I’m a bit busy on Sundays normally… but I think they all do a great job.”

Carson Wentz was among those to offer his opinion on the matter

When asked if players care what the analysts say, Wentz replied: “Some guys do, some guys are all over Twitter and social media keeping track. I am not one of those, by any means.”  Christiansen added: “We hardly watch it dude. Honestly, if there’s like a sports broadcast show on in the morning and we’re eating breakfast, we’ll change it and put a movie on. We kind of get tired of listening to sports broadcasters.”

Cook also mentioned Kansas City’s love for a good film. He said: “Even in the building, we don’t try to keep too much on the screens, we might have a movie planned.”  The Safety actually prefers to watch ‘Inside the NBA’ on TNT Sports, the popular show hosted by Ernie Johnson Jr. with Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith in the studio. He laughed: “I’m watching Shaquille O’Neal on TNT! I think he’s pretty funny.”  Cook continued: “We’re here to do a job, we’re here to work… just focus on what we control, what we can do, and how to get better.”
