Terry Bradshaw, the four-time Super Bowl champion, left his co-panelists on “FOX NFL Sunday” confused after he attempted to use a Boston accent and boldly say a player’s name during Sunday’s pregame show.

Bradshaw spoke about the Seattle Seahawks and expressed his joy that starting center Olu Oluwatimi was cleared for Sunday’s crucial game against the Minnesota Vikings at Lumen Field.

However, both his attempt to imitate co-host Howie Long’s New England accent and his pronunciation of Oluwatimi’s name were not perfect – and co-host Curt Menefee jokingly told him to “stay away from it.”

“I think Geno Smith is one of the guys I enjoy watching play. I love the great Northwest.”

“It’s beautiful up there. “Seattle, or as Howie likes to say, See-attle because he’s from Boston,” said the ever-cheerful Bradshaw.

Host Curt Menefee had to intervene and told Bradshaw: “No, no, no, no, no. OK. Just their new center. Just leave it alone.”

Bradshaw replied: “They didn’t believe I could do it. See, I just wanted to prove on TV that I could do it.”

Long asked Bradshaw why he “put his head in the fire” when trying to say Oluwatimi, given the Louisiana native’s well-known struggles with tricky pronunciations.

“I just like turning that knob, Howie,” a giggling Bradshaw replied. Bradshaw has expressed his admiration for Smith and the Seahawks all season, and a win on Sunday would significantly boost their playoff chances.

Mike Macdonald’s team is currently second in the NFC West behind the Los Angeles Rams, with both teams having a record of 8-6. They face a tough challenge when they host the 12-2 Vikings at Lumen Field on Sunday. FOX will broadcast the game, which begins at 4:05 p.m. ET.
