We don’t recall seeing that FOX’s Terry Bradshaw was contemplating retirement from broadcasting. He apparently was, but he no longer is.
Per Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News, Bradshaw plans to stick around, beyond the expiration of his current contract.
“I’m going to do it as long as I can,” Bradshaw told Raissman. “I don’t want to retire. I just see too many people retire and say, ‘I’m going to take off, travel, spend time with my family’ and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer. I look forward to doing the show.”
(Terry Bradshaw and dying. Hmmmm. That sounds oddly familiar.)
A key factor in Bradshaw’s decision is the arrival of former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan.
“The fear for a network is the viewer gets tired of you,” Bradshaw said. “Not that you lost any credibility, but they get tired of you. That’s why it’s good having Michael come in. It adds a new wrinkle to the show.”
We agree with Terry’s approach. Really, why would he retire? What would he be retiring from? Sitting around and talking?
Terry won’t turn 60 until later this year. He’s still got his fastball (though that whole “we did steroids” thing could have been the result of early dementia). So keep doing what you do, Terry. You’re good at it, and the viewers still like you.

I guess Terry isn’t ready to go to that big doublewide in the sky…

He’s borderline retarded, but even so he’s still much better than the majority of the football broadcasters that we’re are subjected to.

I’m hoping Terry stays on there for a while longer–he and Howie are fun to watch, even when they get off on tangents. Strahan is enough of a character to fit in with them, and I think he’ll add a whole new dynamic. Of course, Fox pre-game is the only one that doesn’t make me want to upchuck my breakfast.

I like Terry. He doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s a good analyst and he loves the game.

I would love to see Terry retire. I enjoy good football discussions when analysts provide good insight into the game. But Terry is more concerned with being a clown and is much better suited to host a children’s cartoon show. This year was better than previous years when Terry and BJ would compete for the biggest jerk of the day award.
Terry think how much fun it would be to dress like a clown and watch cartoons with 5 year old. You would be Great!

And don’t forget…
Terry can wear four Super Bowl Championship Rings when he feels like it. They’re all his and they are not any of those Trent Dilfer rings.
There’s a place for Terry Bradshaw in NFL coverage as long as he wants it. Or at least there should be…

Hell no he’s not ready to retire! I guess JUICE does a body good….He probably shoots up before the broadcast so he has enough energy to get through the show!

I like Terry B - he makes me laugh and helps remind me that this is a game and it’s meant to be enjoyed.
