Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically
Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically originally appeared on The Spun. Terry Bradshaw and Aaron Rodgers have some drama brewing heading into the 2025 season. Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion, made it clear that he wasn't a big fan of Rodgers, who signed with his Pittsburgh Steelers. Bradshaw said earlier this year that he wished Rodgers would just stay in California and "chew" on some bark. "That's a joke. That to me is just a joke," Bradshaw said of Pittsburgh's interest in Rodgers on 103.7 The Buzz back in May. "What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? "That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there." Rodgers, meanwhile, responded to Bradshaw at training camp over the weekend. His response was pretty classy. "I've known Terry for a long time, being a part of FOX," Rodgers said, speaking to NFL Network's Kyle Brandt. "Terry's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He's had a legendary career in the media. "But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't know me. So he's got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I've done, the documentary, what I've said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about." While Rodgers and Bradshaw might have a lot in common on the football field, they've said pretty different things politically over the years. Bradshaw announced that he left the Republican Party, choosing to be an independent. He criticized President Trump, too. 'I've been a Republican, but now I'm a registered independent. I don't want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, 'I'm a Democrat' or 'I'm Republican,' you're kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I'll pick the one who's most like the way I feel,' he announced. Bradshaw took issue with how President Trump criticized NFL players for kneeling for the anthem. "This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it's freedom. People died for that freedom. I'm not sure if our President understands those rights—that every American has the right to speak out and to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love this great country of ours," Bradshaw stated. He added: "Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL." Rodgers, meanwhile, has shown his support for President Trump over the years, even posting a photo of himself shaking hands with POTUS on social media. He said it was "priceless." Rodgers has said that he would like to get to know Bradshaw, so hopefully that'll happen before the 2025 NFL season. But the duo might have some disagreements in the world of politics. Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Steelers legend says what everyone already knows about Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh's QB woes
Terry Bradshaw isn't letting his beloved Steelers off the hook — to him, they botched the Kenny Pickett experiment. Bradshaw appeared on last week's episode of the To The Point - Home Services podcast and explained why the Steelers failed in developing Pickett — pointing to other QB comeback stories as evidence: 'Baker Mayfield is in Tampa Bay playing great now, because you got talent around him,' Bradshaw said. 'Steelers get rid of Kenny Pickett. A first-rounder, got rid of him after two years. And they're still looking for a quarterback. They didn't even do anything to build around him. Sam Darnold goes into Minnesota — look at all those weapons. All those weapons, and look what happened. How great did he play.' Pickett's time in Pittsburgh was short-lived, starting just 23 games in his two seasons. He later requested a trade after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson in the 2024 offseason. The Steelers have been searching for their next franchise QB since Ben Roethlisberger retired in 2022 — and while Aaron Rodgers is a much-needed pit stop on what's been a long and frustrating journey, the 2026 NFL Draft could be the final destination.

Aaron Rodgers breaks his silence after NFL legend Terry Bradshaw brutally mocked QB amid 'joke' Steelers move
Aaron Rodgers refused to be drawn into a war of words with Terry Bradshaw after the NFL legend branded Rodgers' move to the Steelers a 'joke' and told him to 'stay in California ' and 'chew on bark'. Rodgers, 41, recently signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers after months of uncertainty over his future in the NFL. Bradshaw won four Super Bowls with the Steelers during a Hall of Fame career in Pittsburgh. And ahead of Rodgers' arrival, he savaged the four-time MVP. 'What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year? Are you kidding me?' the legendary Fox analyst said in May. 'It's a joke... that guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there.' It was a thinly-veiled dig at Rodgers' penchant for alternative treatments including darkness retreats. But the 41-year-old did not bite back when Bradshaw's comments were put to him on Saturday. Instead, Rodgers paid tribute to the Hall of Famer and even cracked a joke about himself. 'I whisper to the gods every single day,' Rodgers joked to NFL Network. 'I've known Terry for a long time, being a part of Fox. Terry's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He's had a legendary career in the media... but Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't know me. 'And, so, he's got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I've done, the documentary, what I've said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about. 'I'd love to get to know Terry on a deeper level. I feel like if he gave me a chance to get to know him, then we'd have a good friendship. So, I'd love to get to know Terry on a deeper level if he's open to it. And maybe we can go chew some bark or whatever the hell he's talking about together.' Rodgers, who will return to the Jets on week one of the NFL season, also insisted he had 'nothing but the utmost amount of respect and deference' for what Bradshaw and other 'greats have done.' 'They laid the foundation for us to be able to play in this great game. To be paid like kings and to carry on the tradition of excellence that guys like the Bradshaws of the world in the '70s and Bart Starr in the '60s and [Vince] Lombardi and Joe Montana and Steve Young and Troy Aikman and Brett Favre and all the greats,' the quarterback continued. 'We're standing on the backs of those guys. It's because of how they played and how they carried themselves that we're able to have this opportunity to still play this great game, to get paid really well, to set ourselves up for our future.'

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers offers perfect response to Terry Bradshaw
As the offseason dragged on and it was unclear whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers would choose the Pittsburgh Steelers, another NFL team, or retire, fatigue began to set in. This prompted folks to speak candidly when asked about the situation as it dragged on until late June. One of those people was Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw. He made some very pointed comments about Rodgers as he led the Steelers along, saying that Rodgers should "stay in California, chew on bard and whisper to the gods." NFL analyst Kyle Brandt asked Rodgers about Bradshaw's comments at training camp and Rodgers gave a perfect response. "I whisper to the gods every single day," Rodgers said. "I have known Terry [Bradshaw] for a long time, being part of Fox. Terry is a legend—he's an absolute legend… but Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't know me. So he has an idea of what he thinks about me, based on what I have done—the documentary, what I have said, the darkness retreat, or whatever the h*** you want to talk about." We need to keep in mind that Bradshaw has been known to speak out of pocket about the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin as well. It would have been easy for Rodgers to take a shot at the Hall of Famer but you have to respect the fact that he took the high road.
