The friendly crowd was fired up as the FOX Sports NFL crew arrive for their Sunday show in Afghanistan.
***
While in Afghanistan, Terry Bradshaw got to know some troops and find out what the main priorities are for the armed forces.

This is B-roll video footage of Fox NFL Sunday's pregame show participating in a combat airdrop of food, fuel and water to American service members on the ground in Afghanistan from a U.S. Air Force C-17. Tune in to FOX on Sunday, November, 8 to see the Fox team broadcasting from Afghanistan. Produced by the 455th AEW/PA.

The Fox Sunday NFL crew engage the troops in a little football action.

Frank Caliendo entertains the troops, then tosses the program back to the crew in Afghanistan, where they run down their picks, then serve the troops at Burger King and tell the troops what the visit to Afghanistan has meant to them. Also, hear them sing 'God Bless America.'.
I watched the pre-game show prior to the Bears/Cardinals kickoff. It was a great tribute to our military, and the guys really seemed happy to be with our soldiers. Hats off to them.
Good on ya, FOX NFL Sunday.
~~Our heroes and awesome military ... PING!
I watched it this past Sunday and it was a great show.
~~PING!

The team of Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer performed the special just three days before Veterans Day as a tribute to the dedication of America’s service men and women.
“Our men and women in the military put themselves in harm’s way to protect everything we hold dear, and none more so than those who are stationed in the Middle East,” FOX Sports Chairman David Hill said. “It is our privilege and honor to take FOX NFL Sunday to them in November, right before Veterans Day. Amidst the fun and football, it’s our hope to showcase the dedication of these men and women who have to defend against a lot more than the wildcat.”
