Visitors to this blog from the United States and possibly Canada will know exactly who Terry Bradshaw is, however us Europeans maybe unfamiliar seeing as American Football is rarely shown on our screens.
Bradshaw, 58, has been travelling around the USA for the past three years discussing his personal struggles with depression and drawing attention to mental health issues.
What a guy huh? How many Premiership footballers would do that?
You have to dig a little deeper though to find that Terry Bradshaw isn't as white as what he would like us all to believe.
Bradshaw, has for some time now, had a very close relationship with drug giants, GlaxoSmithKline. In fact GlaxoSmithKline have even gone to the great lengths of giving Terry Bradshaw his very own page on their website - SEE HERE
GSK proudly state ' Terry's tour is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline as part of a nationwide educational campaign. ' Bradshaw is quoted on GSK's page with the following comment "With depression, I have always had problems focusing. I suffered from terrible panic attacks and was unable to concentrate," said Terry. "With the help of therapists, counselors and the medication they prescribed for me, Paxil CR, my panic attacks are gone and I can pay attention to the elements of my life that are important."
It seems that GlaxoSmithKline are using Terry Bradshaw to market Paxil, I'm surprised they never approached David Beckham in this country - would be ironic if they tried to approach Robbie Williams now wouldn't it?
So his trips across the USA are getting paid for - does this include the hotel expenses, dinners, functions he attends? You can bet your life it does. Think of all the free publicity GlaxoSmithKline will get when Terry Bradshaw is interviewed on TV for his 'sterling' work for the less fortunate.
I've said it before... and I'll say it again, I have to take my hat off to GlaxoSmithKline's marketing team. Personally, I think they could market dog turds. I hope your boss, Mr Garnier, pays you all handsomely.
Meantime, people such as myself and a host of others try desperately hard day in day out to dispel the facts that GlaxoSmithKline are a caring company with the patients health at heart - we do this with no funding whatsover - we do it with a passion to seek the truth.
Bradshaw is nothing more than a whore. As far as I am concerned he has sold his soul to the devil for financial gain. This is my opinion and if Bradshaw wants to take me up on it then I am open for debate... my guess is he already knows he has sold his soul but the vast amounts of money he is earning from this 'tour' quite clearly mask the feeling of guilt any other normal human being would feel.
Mr Bradshaw - you are an utter disgrace
Bob
