Sports broadcasting can be a tricky business, and Fox’s “NFL Sunday” pregame show just proved why with a cringe-worthy segment about the Rams-49ers matchup.

Veteran sports commentator Terry Bradshaw, at 77 years old, stumbled through a series of factual errors that left viewers and fans scratching their heads. During the segment, Bradshaw expressed concern about Rams kicker Joshua Karty, seemingly unaware that Karty is no longer the team’s primary kicker.

In a moment of broadcasting confusion, Bradshaw highlighted Karty’s poor performance, citing his 67% field goal percentage and multiple missed kicks. However, the Rams had already addressed this issue by signing Harrison Mevis to their practice squad and naming him the starting kicker just days before the game.

To make matters more embarrassing, his co-hosts offered little assistance in correcting his statements. Host Curt Menefee simply nodded, while other panelists like Rob Gronkowski and Howie Long remained silent.

Michael Strahan attempted to add context but ended up compounding the error by incorrectly stating that the Rams lost their previous game against the 49ers due to a missed field goal. In reality, the 26-23 overtime loss came from a stuffed 4th-and-1 run by Kyren Williams.

The incident highlights the challenges facing veteran sports commentators in an era of rapidly changing team dynamics and instant fact-checking. While Bradshaw remains a legendary figure in football, this segment underscores the importance of staying current and thoroughly researching team details before going on air.

For sports fans and media enthusiasts, it was a reminder that even seasoned professionals can have off days, turning a serious pregame analysis into an unintentional comedy of errors.
