We don't know. He may have called Chuck's wife and had a private conversation with her. We. Don't. Know.

He was on Fox news today talking about memory loss and concussions. You may have a point. :huh:

"Before I go forward with the show, I wanted to let you know that I am well-aware of the passing of Chuck Noll," Bradshaw said. "I don't have a coach anymore. I don't have my high school coach. I don't have my college coach. And now I don't have my NFL coach. It's kind of an empty feeling tonight. God bless Marianne, Chris and the Noll family. I am going to pay homage to my coach."

I saw this Dapper Dan speech on Youtube (I can't find it now) but it seems like they buried the hatchet.


Like it was said above, we don't know. It sucks he didn't attend both The Chief and The Emperor's funerals.

I would be lying if I said I was disappointed in the fact that he did not attend , that being said not everyone handles death in the same manner , not everyone attends funerals even those of loved ones and family , granted most do , but not all ....

one of my best friends in life did not attend his mothers or Fathers funeral and he took both deaths pretty hard , he is just not a believer in making a spectacle of the dead ...

so for that reason I will not condemn Bradshaw for not attending , for all we know he may very well be planning on skipping his own Funeral , I know I wont be attending mine

Great qb, no argument there. I enjoyed his playing career immensely. I also find him mildly amusing on the Fox studio show, and have enjoyed some of his appearances on Leno. But I long ago came to the conclusion that he's a petulant, immature self centered punk as a human being. No one ever had Terry's back more than The Chief. Yet he couldn't find time to come to Pittsburgh for the great man's funeral. Then when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame who does he call on to present him? A former teammate, a coach, a family member? Nope his then broadcast partner Vern Lundquist. Were he and Vern that tight? When asked recently about his relationship with Bradshaw Lundquist pointed out the two haven't talked in over a decade. Then when Bradshaw was honored in 2003 by the Dapper Dan, he proclaims all his old feuds, misunderstanding's, with fans, coaches and the like were settled. Yeah they're settled any time someone in Pittsburgh is willing to write Terry a check. Otherwise he wants nothing to do Pittsburgh, it's fans, or his former teammates.

One last thing years ago my wife's Aunt was working on a project with Terry down in Texas. ( she was a low level exec with Enron, but not one of the crooks who lined their pockets at everyone else's expense. lol) Anyway knowing what a huge Steeler fan I was she offered to get me an autographed football from Terry. I turned her down, because of him skipping The Chiefs funeral.

Not everyone that dons the Steelers uniform is an angel.

The quotes in that article came from what he said to the audience during his show the other night. Paying customers. Aside from that no one knows that he's had anything to say concerning Noll's death. Had he in fact contacted Noll's widow, Joe Gordon would have known about it. I think Gordon nailed it when he proclaimed Terry "the most insincere person I ever have known." , and he would be in a better position to know than most.
