Terry Bradshaw runs circles around Joe Rogan over ivermectin COVID treatment claims
Terry Bradshaw is a legend on the football field and in NFL broadcasting, but we hope it’s not too disrespectful to say he hasn’t exactly developed a reputation for being an intellectual giant, especially in recent years.
