Watch: Terry Bradshaw makes cringe-worthy comment on pre-game show

Hall of Fame quarterback and long-time analyst Terry Bradshaw made a cringe-worthy comment during FOX's pregame show on Sunday when discussing Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals offense.

After talking about the Cardinals' mentality to always want to throw the ball instead of running it, Bradshaw said of Murray: "I think if this kid ran five or six runs in a row, I think he'd commit suicide or something."

Sean Payton didn't seem to know what to do with that remark, while Michael Strahan stared into the camera with a smirk and confused look on his face.

That is a subject you do not want to be joking about, especially in the context of something as trivial as a football game (and even something minor within that football game).

The comments received criticism on social media.

The executive producer should be carving out some time during the @NFLonFOX halftime shows for the 1pm games for #TerryBradshaw to issue an apology for this.
I don't believe he wanted to be intentionally cruel.
But he did screw up.
An apology is in order.#MentalHealthAwareness https://t.co/XyOQOkjRQF
