Terry Bradshaw in hot water over ‘fat-shaming’ remarks to Andy Reid at Super Bowl.
Fans who were watching the post-game celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs might have heard some remarks from Terry Bradshaw while he was talking to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid after presenting the Lombardi Trophy.
Some people thought the comments were just two friends ribbing each other, but others felt Bradshaw crossed the line and fat-shames Reid several times.
“Big guy. Let me get the big guy in here,” Bradshaw said to Reid during the Super Bowl LVII Trophy Presentation. “Come on, waddle over here.”
When Reid walked up to the microphone the pair spoke and Bradshaw ended the interview by telling Reid to “Have a cheeseburger on us.”
It’s worth a note that he did not refer to either Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce in that way, during the same interview.

"Waddle on over here"
"Youre getting up there in years"
"What are you doing after this? Eating a cheeseburger?"
Yo.. take the mans mic. Just straight up disrespectful
Terry Bradshaw telling Andy Reid “waddle over here” is so cringeworthy 😬… he can’t be on the podium anymore

What they hell was the comments from Terry Bradshaw to coach Reid about waddle over and eat a cheese burger. How rude, joking or not and it wasn’t funny and it was poor taste for Fox News

Terry Bradshaw said Andy Reid should “waddle over” to talk to him. What an idiot.

I think we, as a society, are over having to watch Terry Bradshaw muck up these big moments. Andy Reid deserved a much better interview there. Make it end, FOX.

What do I think of Terry Bradshaw’s fat jokes about Andy Reid?
— Eric Hoke (@erichoke) February 14, 2023
This is what I think:
One of those men is winning Super Bowl rings.
The other is doing infomercials.
So 🤷🏼♂️
Terry Bradshaw needs to apologize to Andy Reid!

He’s rude and disrespectful!
Andys up in years yet he’s talking like someone who’s so old and can say whatever he wants with no filter, or he’s just an ass hole!
This needs to be his last interview #Fox #ChiefsKingdom | #NFL
Anyone else pissed at Terry Bradshaw for telling “big man”Andy Reid to “waddle over here” after the game? The man just coached his team to a Superbowl win, and he’s getting fat shamed while trying to accept the trophy and celebrate his success! So not cool.

Terry Bradshaw is such a dick. How many fat jokes can you squeeze in there you piece of shit. Andy Reid is a gentleman. Take notes.

Why does @NFLonFOX continue to allow Terry Bradshaw to interview owners, coaches, and players after games? He has NO clue on how to conduct an interview and acts like an idiot on the stage. Telling Andy Reid to waddle on up here and that he’s old. It’s honestly embarrassing!

So far neither Reid nor Bradshaw have commented publicly about the moment.
