Terry Bradshaw failed to attend Chuck Noll's funeral last week. He also failed to reach out to coach Noll's widow Marrianne. It might be inconspicuous if he were grieving privately or if he were out of the country, but he was reportedly in Pittsburgh just one day after Noll's death doing a one-man show. Some are wondering if his no-show at the funeral had to do with lingering emotions on the heels of their twenty-year feud. Meanwhile others are talking about the former Steelers QB taking a jab at Peyton Manning in his one-man show, "America's Favorite Dumb Blonde."
When Bradshaw retired in 1983, he and former coach Chuck Noll apparently didn't speak for 20 years. Though they had supposedly buried the hatchet, many friends and loved ones must have been wondering if Bradshaw's absence was due to a lingering bitterness (via Yahoo Sports):
"People grieve in different ways. Perhaps Bradshaw paid some sort of respect for his former coach in a way we have yet to hear about. Perhaps there had been a falling out between the two. We don't know all the details of this complicated relationship.
"But we do know that many people in Pittsburgh feel Bradshaw should have found a way to show up for the funeral."
Meanwhile, TB ruffled some feathers (at least in the media) when Bradshaw recently included a joke about Peyton Manning being overrated because of his number of Super Bowl losses (via USA Today):
"Keep in mind that no one has actually said they're offended, nor has Manning commented on this. (And he probably won't. Do you honestly think Peyton Manning is going to lose sleep over Terry Bradshaw taking a subtle dig at him?) It's the perception of possible offense that's turned this non-story into a story."
