In a move that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry just appointed NFL legend Terry Bradshaw as the state’s first-ever Commissioner of Crawfish. The Hall of Fame quarterback arrived at the press conference in Baton Rouge wearing waders and a custom “Crawfish King” crown, promptly declaring: “Y’all thought I couldn’t top four Super Bowls?
