Michael Strahan hurt Terry Bradshaw’s feelings within one minute of FOX NFL Sunday after joking that he’d wasted 10 seconds of his life.

The Week 12 edition of FOX NFL Sunday was opened by artist Michael Buble, who narrated the opening credits following the release of his new Christmas song that came out on Nov. 18. FOX host Curt Menefee then took over as he said: “Thanks to five-time Grammy Award winner Michael Buble for opening the show, his new song ‘Maybe This Christmas’ with country star Carly Pearce is out right now.

“As we welcome in Terry, Howie, Michael, and Jimmy… they didn’t ask you (Bradshaw) to sing us a country song?” Bradshaw then explained how he was let down by analyst Howie Long, and replied: “Well I told them I would, but only with Howie and that was kind of the deal.

Long then claimed that Americans needed a Bradshaw Christmas album, which the NFL legend disagreed with. Strahan then brutally interrupted and said: “Can I just say? That was 10 seconds of our lives we can never get back.”

Bradshaw then told Strahan: “Now Michael, that hurt my feelings.” Strahan then apologized for his savage comment, but was dealt a dose of karma as Menefee moved things on to focus on the struggling New York teams, and added: “Speaking of Michael, you may want to cover your ears for this next segment.”

Strahan spent his entire 15-year NFL career with the New York Giants after being selected in the second round of the 1993 NFL Draft, and poetically won the Super Bowl in his final season (2007). The Giants won the Super Bowl again four years later after Eli Manning outclassed Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

However, the Giants are currently enduring a disastrous season and dropped to 2-9 on Sunday after losing 30-7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants started second year quarterback Tommy DeVito against the Buccaneers, after agreeing to release Daniel Jones earlier this week.

Jones didn’t perform well enough to keep his starting role, and after signing a four-year, $160 million extension in 2023, the Giants made the decision to drop him to the bottom of the depth chart and end his stint with the team. Rather than wait until the end of the season to pursue other options, Jones requested to be released immediately.

The situation became increasingly ugly on Sunday after the game, as rookie Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was adamant that their losing streak had nothing to do with the quarterback and appeared to suggest it’s a coaching issue. “It ain’t the quarterback,” Nabers said in the Giants locker room.

“Same outcome when we had DJ (Daniel Jones) at quarterback. It ain’t the quarterback.” When asked if it was down to the play-calling, Nabers replied: “I don’t know.”
