Anyone hear the FALSE Bradshaw rumor?

BtownBeers · January 26th, 2007, 08:09 AM

A horrible completely FALSE rumor swept the internet yesterday afternoon that Terry Bradshaw had died. Profootballtalk.com had reported it, talk about reporting unvalidated information. HORRIBLE thing to do, someone should be held accountable.

Here's their take on the FALSE rumor. I am glad to know he is doing fine playing golf.

THE ROOT OF THE BRADSHAW RUMORS

Several readers have sworn to never visit the site again in the wake of their belief that we made up the whole "Terry Bradshaw might be dead" rumor for the sole purpose of generating some extra traffic.

But, thanks to KTBS and KSLA in Shreveport, we can prove conclusively that this one wasn't a figment of a hyperactive imagination.

Per KTBS, rumors that Bradshaw had died of a heart attack swept through Shreveport on Thursday. KSLA says that the rumors emerged in the morning hours.

"One theory as to how the rumor got started," says KTBS, "was that a local radio station reported a wreck on the Terry Bradshaw Passway -- part of the Inner Loop -- and that was misunderstood to say Bradshaw had passed away."

We first caught wind of the rumors shortly after 3:00 p.m., and we quickly learned via an industry source that Bradshaw is vacationing in Mexico. He reportedly is playing golf there with his brother, Gary.
KSLA spoke with Bradshaw's aunt, who said that she personally talked with Gary to ensure that Terry was okay. "He said the worst thing that's happened to Terry today is 'his [golf] ball landed in the rough,'" the aunt said.

Now thats funny. "Terry Bradshaw Passway". Another case of someone in the media not fully reading something but quickly writing about it trying to be one of the first.

Bradshaw isn't dead, but his brain has been on lifesupport ever since Jack Youngblood planted him in the Superbowl in 1979.

And the pass was complete to Swann for a TD. Bradshaw never saw it until he saw the replay.

I should have realized that. You are alive now though, and just for a millisecond when I read your post that fact irritated me.
