There aren't too many quarterbacks that have ever been able to make their own play calls throughout the midst of a game but one man in Terry Bradshaw did just that and became one of the greatest passers to ever take the field. It takes an extreme amount of courage, poise, and leadership to take ten other alpha personalities and direct them in unison for a greater cause then themselves and Terry Bradshaw didn't only have the balls to do so, he also had one of the most powerful arms football has ever seen. From 1966 to 1969, Terry Bradshaw attended Louisiana Tech University to play his college ball. In his first two seasons, Bradshaw started behind Phil Robertson, who is now known as the inventor of the duck caller and television personality on the reality show, Duck Dynasty. His junior year, Bradshaw led the Bulldogs to a 9-2 season and 33-13 victory over Akron in the Rice Bowl. His senior year, Bradshaw led the Bulldogs to an 8-2 overall record.
In the 1970 NFL Draft, Terry Bradshaw was selected 1st overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers where he would play his entire fourteen-season NFL career. In his second season with the Steelers, Bradshaw became the starting quarterback and helped the Steelers secure their first-ever championship defeating the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IX. This win sparked a four-title reign within a six-year period as Bradshaw led the Steelers on field as a quarterback and technically an offensive coordinator winning Super Bowls, X, XIII, and XIV all the while being named MVP for his performances in Super Bowls XIII and XIV. Terry Bradshaw became the first quarterback ever to win three and four Super Bowls. Somehow, Bradshaw only was invited to three Pro Bowls (1975, 1978, and 1979) and earned one NFL MVP Award (1978).
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
