URGENT UPDATE: Fans are calling for NFL legend Terry Bradshaw to retire after a stunning on-air blunder during a special edition of Fox NFL Sunday this weekend. The 77-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers icon has been a staple of the show since 1994, but viewers are questioning his role after a mishap that left many shaking their heads.
During the broadcast on September 16, 2023, which featured a panel including Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jay Glazer, and Rob Gronkowski, Bradshaw mistakenly referred to Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love in a conversation about an ACL tear suffered by teammate Micah Parsons. “If I’m Love, I’m going, ‘No Parsons, yes!’” he exclaimed. Fans quickly pointed out that Love plays for Green Bay, not the Chicago Bears, leading to widespread criticism.
Fans took to social media to voice their concerns. “Love Bradshaw. Underrated all-time great QB. It’s time to retire. Been time for a while now,” one fan wrote on X. Another chimed in, “Time for Terry to hang it up.” Responses echoed a growing sentiment that Bradshaw’s time on the show may have come to an end.
Earlier this year, Bradshaw opened up about his health struggles, revealing he has been diagnosed with cancer twice and is contemplating retirement. He had previously stated he would fulfill the remaining two years of his contract with Fox, hinting that the end could be near. “Jimmy [Johnson] is not with us anymore – he’s retired now,” he said. “Gronk is in instead, so that means in age difference we save about 60 years. This group has all of a sudden got younger. And that gives me another two years.”
As calls for his retirement grow louder, the future of Bradshaw on Fox NFL remains uncertain. The network has not yet issued a statement regarding the backlash or any potential changes to the lineup. Fans and viewers alike are left wondering if they will see the beloved analyst return for more broadcasts or if this is the beginning of the end for his storied career.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as the NFL season progresses and the fate of Terry Bradshaw unfolds.
