So Nobody Considers “Scumbag” a Bad Word Anymore?
1-liner, Media Gossip/Musings December 29th. 2008, 11:15amBad Words: “When Terry Bradshaw said on Fox NFL Sunday he wanted the hapless Detroit Lions to finish the season 0-16, Howie Long called his colleague a ’scumbag.’ Replied Bradshaw: ‘I know I’m a scumbag.’” We knew kids who would get grounded – or catch a beating – for using that word. Now these clowns are tossing it around on pre-game shows. (USA Today)

When referring to Drew Brees chasing Marino’s record Bradshaw also repeatedly said “I hope he gets it.”
I bet Marino wants to choke that overrated fucker with his isotoners this morning.

Does “scumbag” have some sort of dirty meaning that I’m not aware of?
December 29th, 2008 at 11:22 AM
kids caught beatings for scumbag? i think they were saying it without the “S”.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Uttering the word scumbag used to deserve beatings? I’m glad I didn’t grow up in Russia.

Terry Bradshaw’s stats don’t look too impressive. He wouldn’t happen to be one of those quarterbacks who rode a great defense and running game to a ring or two, would he?

that’s how they roll in Pitt.

Hef is a scumbag.

Bradshaw is an idiot. Bradshaw is a moron to say that he wanted the Lions to lose and go 0-16.
Douchbag, yes. Scumbag, not sure.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:32 AM
there is a difference?
December 29th, 2008 at 11:33 AM
He’s playing the same role that the talking heads on ESPN play. They are told what to say, whether they believe it or not. Controversy makes for good television, and Bradshaw gladly plays the role of the hayseed every week. He’s laughing all the way to the bank.

4 = 1 or 2?
Bradshaw may be an idiot, but you can’t overrate a QB with 4 rings. The stats might not be superhuman, but I don’t remember Brady throwing 4 tds in a SB.
/steelers homer
//still thinks bradshaw is a babbling fool

whoops, forgot
///totally baited into this
December 29th, 2008 at 11:41 AM
I also don’t remember Brady throwing 3 picks in a Super Bowl.

Terry Bradshaw has at least 12 more playoff wins than Tony Romo.
/something we can all agree on
December 29th, 2008 at 11:45 AM
i remember Brady losing a Super Bowl.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Jay you know who else won a playoff game Rex Grossman. So Grossman > Romo.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:50 AM
when did “scumbag” become a dirty word?
December 29th, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Grossman also lost a Super Bowl, so Grossman = Brady.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Jay you know who else won a playoff game Rex Grossman. So Grossman > Romo.
I have no problem saying that.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:53 AM
I’ll go so far as to say
anybody who has won an important game in December or January > Tony Romo
December 29th, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Yes, Grossman is greater than Romo. Have you ever seen Romo in a game after November ends?
December 29th, 2008 at 11:56 AM
After yesterday:
Tarvaris Jackson > Tony Romo
December 29th, 2008 at 11:58 AM
except for the fact that Brady has won 3 Super Bowls.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:58 AM
i don’t quite get the knock on being a pretty good QB with a great defense and winning a superbowl.. they did enough to not have their team lose and the TEAM got a ring..
December 29th, 2008 at 12:02 PM
I know. There is at least one quarterback I can think of who has been surrounded by “the best talent in the NFL” for 3 years, and he still can’t win a playoff game.
December 29th, 2008 at 12:05 PM
that was tongue in cheek
December 29th, 2008 at 12:23 PM
Scumbag can be:

Trent Dilfer > Terry Bradshaw
On the field and in the studio.
/half true
December 29th, 2008 at 12:55 PM
had to love Dilfer calling out the Cowfags WR’s last night.

I think the word scumbag was totally used out of context in this statement, but it is no secret tht Terry Bradshaw is a complete idiot, both professionally and personally…and a hypocrite for raking Rob Parker over the coals for a bad attempt at humor and then to wish a winless record on the same coach he defended on last week!
