Hall of Famer and Shreveport favorite son Terry Bradshaw brought some side-splitting humor to his hometown, including some good natured ribbing of Mayor Cedric Glover that had a room of 500 people hee hawing at Shreveport Country Club on Wednesday. Except for one guy at the next table over from Glover. One of his challengers, Roy Burrell.

As the Blond Bomber took the podium and read the crowd, he couldn't miss the Steel Curtain-size mayor at one of the tables near the front.

"Got yourself TWO SEATS over there, Mayor? Good!" Bradshaw hollered. Big laughs all around. Glover laughing the hardest, it appeared. But Burrell stared silently straight ahead, according to my source. He could see what was coming.

Bradshaw continued: "Mayor, you and I ought to put a bet on this weekend's game," he said of The Port City Classic pitting his Louisiana Tech Bulldogs against Glover's Grambling Tigers.

"I'll put up one of my steers. You'd like that wouldn't ya!" Bradshaw said to more big laughs. "What are you puttin' up?"

Glover: "Whole hog!"

Bradshaw, struggling to hear over the laughter: "Mobile home?"

Glover: "Whole hog!"

Bradshaw: "Ol' hog?!"

Glover: "Whole! Hog!"

Bradshaw: "Ohhhhh, that makes sense. Hogs don't live long." (more laughs)

Then the subject turned to endorsements. Bradshaw noted he turned down the male enhancement pill Extenze, because his mom would not approve.

"Could still use 'em, though," the 62-year-old Bradshaw said to more roars of laughter. Then, turning to Glover, said, "Mayor, you could do Nutra-System!" Then, imitating Glover in a commercial, said, "Hi. I'm Mayor Cedric Glover, and I weigh 500 pounds!"

More heavy duty laughs all around.

Bradshaw smiled and nodded toward the mayor, who led the drive in naming part of The Inner Loop after the football legend before his first mayoral election. "Hey, anything I can do for you. I'm independent," Bradshaw announced toward Glover.

Though he had to endure some roasting, Glover was probably thinking Bradshaw had just done plenty.

Advocare V-100 Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon: $40. Appearing buddy-buddy with the greatest athlete and sports hero our city's ever produced in a room full of voters with money to spend: priceless.
