The Super Bowl is coming closer and broadcasters, like Terry Bradshaw‘s FOX, CBS, of the SB can’t catch a break! In New Orleans, the Eagles will go head-to-head against Patrick Mahomes‘ Chiefs for the 2nd time in three years. The Super Bowl LVII witnessed Jalen Hurts’ team getting beaten up by the Chiefs. And guess what? This will be an unprecedented year for the Chiefs if they win the third consecutive SB. So, the excitement has already skyrocketed.
But as the Super Bowl is right around the corner FOX Sports has come up with a new score bug for the Super Bowl 59 and fans are criticizing it for copying CBS Sports. They colored the new score bug with detailed team names and the shape’s rectangle. The first time FOX added a detailed score bug was in 1996.
Then in 2010 and 2012, the score bug received some renovations. In 2014, they introduced a new score bug, featuring a clock positioned just below the team names. Subsequent changes were made in 2017.

But as FOX has introduced a new score bug, fans trolled Terry Bradshaw’s FOX Sports for copying CBS. One fan has commented, “They just stole CBS.” While another X-user backed the former one, commenting, “Looks just like CBS.” And again, another user mentioned, “This looks like something CBS would do lmao.”
But other than this, one football enthusiast, evidently, posted a collage of FOX’s score bugs till this year. The X-user captioned it, “FOX did make the top and sides of the current score bug Silver as a minor change after the Super Bowl, but everything else about the design is exactly the same (except for the teams, obviously).” Well, let’s see if Terry Bradshaw’s Fox Sports changes it after the reactions of the fans.

Meanwhile, a major announcement has hit the FOX Sports studio and Louisiana fans, regarding Terry Bradshaw. Wanna know what’s the announcement? Let’s dive in!
New Orleans Mayor’s major announcement on Terry Bradshaw
On February 5, the Mayor of New Orleans announced that February 5 will be celebrated as ‘Terry Bradshaw Day’. Interesting, right? On the same day, Tulane University also honored the sportscaster after 50 years. It’s the special venue for Bradshaw as out of his four Super Bowl rings, he won the first Lombardi at Tulane Stadium.

Talking at the Tulane University’s ceremony, Terry Bradshaw said “You don’t get honors at 76. Who am I kidding? For Tulane and the city of New Orleans to do this, I don’t take this lightly.” He also said, “This really touches me, and the fact that I don’t feel like I deserve this, it’s a little humbling, for sure.”
The most inspiring and touching part of his connection with Louisiana is that he donated all four rings, Hall of Fame awards, honorary helmets, and more to LSU.
Talking more about the state, the Steelers legend said, “I do love this state so much. I always felt like you should be proud of where you’re from, and I certainly am.” Truly mesmerizing!
At the end of his speech, he also said that he hoped this year would not be his last in broadcasting. The 76-year-old will be broadcasting his 9th Super Bowl for FOX Sports. Let’s see how Terry Bradshaw’s broadcasting future unfolds!
