College Football Hall of Fame

Terry Paxton Bradshaw (born September 2, 1948) is a former American football quarterback who
played professionally in the National Football League (NFL). Since 1994, he has been a TV analyst
and co-host of Fox NFL Sunday. Bradshaw is also an actor, having participated in many television
shows and films, most notably starring in the movie Failure To Launch. He played for 14 seasons
with Pittsburgh, won four Super Bowl titles in a six-year period (1974, 1975, 1978, and 1979),
becoming the first quarterback to win three and four Super Bowls, and led the Steelers to eight AFC
Central championships. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989, his first year of
eligibility.
A tough competitor, Bradshaw is known for having one of the most powerful arms in NFL history. He
also called his own plays throughout his football career.[1] His physical skills and on-the-field
leadership played a major role in the Pittsburgh Steelers' history. During his career, he passed for
more than 300 yards in a game only seven times, but three of those performances came in the
postseason, and two of those in Super Bowls. He played very well in the Super Bowl, and in four
career Super Bowl appearances, he passed for 932 yards and 9 touchdowns, both Super Bowl
records at the time of his retirement. In 19 post-season games, he completed 261 passes for 3,833
yards.

Early years[edit]
Bradshaw was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, the second of three sons of Novis (ne Gay) and
William "Bill" Marvin Bradshaw (19272014). His older brother is named Gary and younger brother is
named Craig. Bill Bradshaw, the son of John and Margie Bradshaw, a native of Sparta, Tennessee,
was a veteran of the United States Navy, a former vice president of manufacturing of the Riley
Beaird Company in Shreveport, and a Southern Baptist layman.[2] His mother, Novis (born
1929),[3][4] was one of five children of Clifford and Lula Gay of Red River Parish, Louisiana.[5]

Bradshaw in 1967

The work ethic was particularly strong in the Bradshaw household. Bradshaw spent his early
childhood in Camanche, Iowa, where he set forth the goal to play professional football. Terry's
childhood best friend was Darry Duncan. When he was a teenager, Bradshaw returned with his
family, including his two brothers, Gary and Craig Bradshaw, to Shreveport,[6] where he
attended Woodlawn High School and played under assistant coach A. L. Williams and led the
Knights to the 1965 AAA High School Championship game. His team then lost to the Sulphur
Golden Tornadoes 129. While at Woodlawn, he set a national record for throwing the javelin 245
feet (74.68 m).[7] His exploits earned him a spot in the Sports Illustrated feature Faces In The Crowd.
Bradshaw's successor as Woodlawn's starting quarterback was another future NFL standout, Joe
Ferguson of the Buffalo Bills. Bradshaw's Steelers would defeat Ferguson's Bills in a 1974 divisional
playoff game.
College career[edit]
Bradshaw decided to attend Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. He has much affinity for his alma
mater. He is a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was active in the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes and spoke before many athletic banquets and other gatherings.[8] Initially, he was
second on the depth chart at quarterback behind Phil "Roxie" Robertson, who would later become
famous as the inventor of the Duck Commander duck call and television personality on
the A&E program Duck Dynasty.[9][10]
When he arrived at Tech in 1966, Bradshaw caused a media frenzy on account of his reputation of
being a football sensation from nearby Shreveport.[11][12] Robertson was a year ahead of Bradshaw,
and was the starter for two seasons in 1966 and 1967, and chose not to play in 1968.[13] As
Robertson put it: "I'm going for the ducks, you [Terry] can go for the bucks."[14]
In 1969, Bradshaw was considered by most professional scouts to be the most outstanding college
football player in the nation. As a junior, he amassed 2,890 total yards, ranking No. 1 in the NCAA,
and led his team to a 92 record and a 3313 win over Akron in the Rice Bowl. In his senior season,
he gained 2,314 yards, ranking third in the NCAA, and led his team to an 82 record. His decrease
in production was mainly because his team played only 10 games that year, and he was taken out of
several games in the second half because his team had built up a huge lead.
Bradshaw graduated owning virtually all Louisiana Tech passing records at the time. In 1984, he
was inducted into the inaugural class of the Louisiana Tech sports hall of fame.[15] Four years later,
he was inducted into the state of Louisiana's sports hall of fame.[16]

NFL career[edit]
Pittsburgh Steelers[edit]
In the 1970 NFL Draft, Bradshaw was the first overall player selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The
Steelers drew the first pick in the draft after winning a coin flip tiebreaker with the Chicago Bears due
to both teams having identical 113 records in 1969.[17] In either case, Bradshaw was hailed at the
time as the consensus No. 1 pick.
Bradshaw became a starter in his second season after splitting time with Terry Hanratty in his rookie
campaign. During his first few seasons, the 6'3", 215-pound quarterback was erratic, threw many
interceptions (he threw 210 interceptions over the course of his career) and was widely ridiculed by
the media for his rural roots and perceived lack of intelligence. [citation needed][18]
It took Bradshaw several seasons to adjust to the NFL, but he eventually led the Pittsburgh Steelers
to eight AFC Central championships and four Super Bowl titles. The Pittsburgh Steelers featured the
"Steel Curtain" defense and a powerful running attack led by Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier, but
Bradshaw's strong arm gave them the threat of the deep pass, helping to loosen opposing defenses.
In 1972, he threw the "Immaculate Reception" pass to Franco Harris to beat the Raiders in the AFC
Divisional playoffs, which is among the most famous plays in NFL history.
Bradshaw temporarily lost the starting job to Joe Gilliam in 1974, but he took over again during the
regular season. In the 1974 AFC Championship Game against the Oakland Raiders, his fourth-
quarter touchdown pass to Lynn Swann proved to be the winning score in a 2413 victory. In the
Steelers' 166 Super Bowl IX victory over the Minnesota Vikings that followed, Bradshaw completed
9 of 14 passes and his fourth-quarter touchdown pass put the game out of reach and helped take
the Steelers to their first Super Bowl victory.
In Super Bowl X following the 1975 season, Bradshaw threw for 209 yards, most of them to Lynn
Swann, as the Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys, 2117. His 64-yard touchdown pass to Swann
(that traveled roughly 70 yards in the air)which was released a split-second before defensive
tackle Larry Cole flattened him causing a serious concussionlate in the fourth quarter is
considered one of the greatest passes in NFL history.
Neck and wrist injuries in 1976 forced Bradshaw to miss four games. He was sharp in a 4014
victory over the Baltimore Colts, completing 14 of 18 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns,
but the Steelers' hopes of a three-peat ended when both of their 1,000-yard rushers (Franco Harris
and Rocky Bleier) were injured in the win over the Colts, and the Steelers subsequently lost to the
Oakland Raiders in the AFC Championship game, 24-7. Jack Lambert asserted that that 1976
Steelers team was the best team that he ever played on, including the 4 Super Bowl teams of which
he was a part.
Bradshaw had his finest season in 1978 when he was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player by
the Associated Press after a season in which he completed 207 of 368 passes for 2,915 yards and a
league-leading 28 touchdown passes. He was also named All-Pro and All-AFC that year, despite
throwing 20 interceptions.
Bradshaw in 1979

Before Super Bowl XIII, a Steelers-Cowboys rematch, Cowboys linebacker Thomas "Hollywood"
Henderson famously ridiculed Bradshaw by saying, "He couldn't spell 'Cat' if you spotted him the 'c'
and the 'a'." Bradshaw got his revenge by winning the Most Valuable Player award, completing 17 of
30 passes for a then-record 318 yards and four touchdowns in a 3531 win. Bradshaw has in later
years made light of the ridicule with quips such as "it's football, not rocket science."
Bradshaw won his second straight Super Bowl MVP in 1979 in Super Bowl XIV. He passed for 309
yards and 2 touchdowns in a 3119 win over the Los Angeles Rams, yet the game was far closer
and more interesting than the final score suggests. Early in the 4th quarter, with Pittsburgh down 19
17, Terry would again turn to the long pass to help engineer a victory: a spectacular 73-yard
touchdown to John Stallworth. Mr. Bradshaw would share the Sports Illustrated magazine's
"Sportsmen of the Year" award that season with fellow Pittsburgh star Willie Stargell, who's Pirates
won the 1979 World Series.
After two seasons of missing the playoffs, Bradshaw played through painhe needed a cortisone
shot before every game because of an elbow injury sustained during training campin a strike-
shortened 1982 NFL season. He still managed to tie for the most touchdown passes in the league
with 17. In a 3128 playoff loss to the San Diego Chargers, Bradshaw's last postseason game, he
completed 28-of-39 passes for 325 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
After undergoing off-season elbow surgery, Bradshaw was idle for the first 14 games of the 1983
NFL season. Then on December 10, 1983, against the New York Jets, he felt a pop in his elbow
while throwing his final pass, a 10-yard touchdown to Calvin Sweeney in the second quarter of the
Steelers' 347 win. Bradshaw later left the game and never played again. The two touchdowns
Bradshaw threw in what would be the final NFL game played at Shea Stadium (and the last NFL
game in New York City to date) allowed him to finish his career with two more touchdowns (212)
than interceptions (210) for his career.
After football[edit]
In July 1997, Bradshaw served as the presenter when Mike Webster, his center on the Steelers'
Super Bowl XIII and XIV title teams, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 2006, despite the Steelers being one of the teams playing in the game, Bradshaw did not attend a
pregame celebration for past Super Bowl MVP's during Super Bowl XL in Detroit, Michigan.
According to reports, Bradshaw (along with three time MVP and close friend Joe Montana)
requested a US$100,000 guarantee for his appearance in the Super Bowl MVP Parade, and
associated appearances. The NFL could not guarantee that they would make that much and
refused. A representative for Bradshaw has since denied this report. After an appearance on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno (February 6, 2006) Bradshaw stated that the reason why he did not
attend the MVP parade was that he was spending time with family, that he hates the crowds and the
Super Bowl media circus, and also that the only way he would attend a Super Bowl is when Fox is
broadcasting the game (it was ABC who broadcast Super Bowl XL), though Bradshaw attended
several press conferences in Detroit days earlier. Bradshaw also stated that money was not an
issue.
In April 2006, Bradshaw donated his four Super Bowl rings, College Football Hall of Fame ring, Pro
Football Hall of Fame ring, Hall of Fame bust, four miniature replica Super Bowl trophies, and a
helmet and jersey from one of his Super Bowl victories to his alma mater, Louisiana Tech.
On November 5, 2007, during a nationally televised Monday Night Football game, Bradshaw joined
former teammates including Franco Harris and Joe Greene to accept their position on the Pittsburgh
Steelers 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.
Broadcasting career[edit]
Bradshaw retired from football on July 24, 1984,[19] and quickly signed a television contract
with CBS to become an NFL game analyst in 1984, where he and play-by-play announcer Verne
Lundquist had the top rated programs. Prior to his full-time work for them, he served as a guest
commentator for CBS Sports' NFC postseason broadcasts from 198082.
Bradshaw was promoted into television studio analyst for The NFL Today in 1990 (which he hosted
with Greg Gumbel through the 1993 season), and Fox NFL Sunday, where he normally acts as
a comic foil to his co-hosts. On Fox NFL Sunday he hosts two semi-regular features, Ten Yards with
TB, where he fires random questions at an NFL pro, and The Terry Awards, an annual comedic
award show about the NFL season. As a cross-promotional stunt, he also hosted two
consecutive Digi-Bowl specials in 2001 and 2002 on Fox Kids, providing commentary from the NFL
on Fox studio in-between episodes of Digimon: Digital Monsters; the 2002 special was the final one
as the Fox Kids block ended the same year. He appeared on the first broadcast of NASCAR on
FOX where he took a ride with Dale Earnhardt at Daytona International Speedway the night before
Earnhardt was killed in a last lap crash in the Daytona 500.
Bradshaw has the reputation of being the "ol' redneck", but, in co-host and former NFL coach Jimmy
Johnson's words, the act is a "schtick."[20] According to Johnson, Bradshaw deflects such criticism by
stating that "he's so dumb that he has to have somebody else fly his private plane."[20]
Bradshaw has also garnered the reputation for criticizing players and teams.[21] Following Super Bowl
XLVI he was confronted by Ann Mara, wife of the late Wellington Mara, and "heckled" for not picking
the Giants to win on Fox NFL Sunday.[21]
Business career[edit]
During the early part of his career with the Steelers, Bradshaw was a used car salesman during the
off-season to supplement his income, as this was still during the days when most NFL players didn't
make enough money to focus solely on football.[22][23]
Bradshaw has also written or co-written five books and recorded six albums
of country/western and gospel music. His cover of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" hit Top 20 on
Billboard's country chart (and No. 91 on the Hot 100) in 1976; two other tunes ("The Last Word In
Lonesome Is Me" and "Until You") also made the country charts.[24]
In 2001, Bradshaw entered the world of NASCAR by joining with HighLine Performance Group
racing team to form FitzBradshaw Racing. He also is the spokesman for Jani-King international,
Inc. Bradshaw ended his ownership in 2006.[25]
Among U.S. consumers, Bradshaw remains one of pro football's most popular retired players. As of
September 2007, Bradshaw was the top-ranked former pro football player in the Davie-Brown Index
(DBI), which surveys consumers to determine a celebrity's appeal and trust levels.[26]

Personal life[edit]
Bradshaw has been married four times. He was first married to Melissa Babish (Miss Teenage
America, 1969)[27] from 1972 to 1973; to ice skater JoJo Starbuck from 1976 to 1983; and to
prominent family attorney Charla Hopkins, who is the mother of his two daughters, Rachel and Erin,
from 1983 to 1999. His daughter Erin shows champion paint and quarter horses and is an honors
graduate of the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. His daughter Rachel is a graduate
of Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, and appeared in Nashville (2007), a reality TV series
about young musicians trying to make it in Nashville, and is the widow of former Tennessee
Titans kicker Rob Bironas. The first three of Bradshaw's marriages have all ended in divorce, a
subject he ridicules frequently on his NFL pre-game show.[citation needed] Bradshaw was married for the
fourth time, on July 8, 2014, to Tammy, his girlfriend of fifteen years.
After his NFL career ended, Bradshaw disclosed that he had frequently experienced anxiety
attacks after games. The problem worsened in the late 1990s after his third divorce, when he said he
"could not bounce back" as he had after the previous divorces or after a bad game. In addition to
anxiety attacks, his symptoms included weight loss, frequent crying, and sleeplessness. He was
diagnosed with clinical depression. Since then he has taken Paxil regularly. He chose to speak out
about his depression to overcome the stigma associated with it and to urge others to seek help.[28]
In October 2002, Bradshaw returned to the Steelers sideline for the first time in twenty years for
a Monday night game between the Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts. In 2003, when the Steelers
played the 1,000th game in franchise history, Fox covered the game at Heinz Field, and Bradshaw
returned to cover the game. In addition to appearing to take his position on the Steelers All-Time
Team in 2007 as part of the team's 75th anniversary festivities, he also was on the sideline for
the 2007 home opener, where the Steelers earned their 500th regular season win.
Politically, Bradshaw is a long-time supporter of the Republican Party.[29] In 2012, he went on record
on Fox News as supporting the candidacy of Newt Gingrich for the Republican Presidential
Nomination.[30] In the same interview, he also labeled linebacker Terrell Suggs "an idiot" for making
comments critical of Denver quarterback Tim Tebow's public remarks about his Christian faith,
saying Suggs "better be careful; if I were him I'd be on my hands and knees tonight asking for
forgiveness because that's totally unacceptable."[30]

Acting[edit]
Bradshaw has appeared in numerous television commercials. The most recent was a "live-ad"
for Tide detergent along with his Fox Sports co-host Curt Menefee, where Bradshaw shows up with
a shirt stain on what appeared to be live TV from the Fox broadcast booth at Super Bowl LI and then
washes it with Tide at the house of Jeffrey Tambor.[31]
Bradshaw has had cameo appearances in many shows as himself, including Everybody Loves
Raymond, Married... with Children, The Larry Sanders Show and The League. He also appeared
on Malcolm in the Middle with Howie Long as the trashy coach of a women's ice hockey team. He
hosted a short-lived television series in 1997 called Home Team with Terry Bradshaw.
In addition to his television work, Bradshaw has appeared in several movies, including a part in
the 1978 film Hooper which starred Burt Reynolds, Jan-Michael Vincent, and Sally Field, and 1981's
appearance in The Cannonball Run. In 1980, he had a cameo in Smokey and the Bandit II which
starred Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, and Sally Field. He made a guest appearance in The Adventures
of Brisco County, Jr. in 1994, playing Colonel Forrest March, a rogue U.S. Army officer who gave
orders to his squad (played by NFL members Ken Norton, Jr., Carl Banks, and Jim Harbaugh) in a
huddle using football diagrams.
Bradshaw appeared on Jeff Foxworthy's short-lived sitcom, The Jeff Foxworthy Show as a
motivational speaker for people needing to change their lives. Bill Engvall's character is affected by
Bradshaw's rantings about witchcraft and voodoo in his pre-game warm-ups.
On October 11, 2001, Bradshaw received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the first and only
NFL player (as of May 31, 2008) to do so.[32][33]
In 2006, Bradshaw returned to the silver screen in the motion picture Failure to Launch. He
and Kathy Bates played the parents of Matthew McConaughey's character. In one notable scene he
appeared nude, a move which Jay Leno spent an entire segment mocking during an appearance
on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He mentioned on May 23, 2008, on The Tonight Show that he
has been a guest 37 times, and that 34 of them were on a Friday, which happens to be the lowest
watched night of television. He pleasantly joked with Jay about being a 'filler' guest. He made a
similar reference in an appearance on March 15, 2010, stating he was asked to guest because of a
cancellation. Jay stated that at least he was not appearing on Friday, which hosts the more well-
known celebrity guests. As of December 28, 2012, Bradshaw has made 50 appearances on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He is also a devout Christian and wrote the book Terry Bradshaw: Man
of Steel with broadcaster Dave Diles.[34] Since 2010, Bradshaw has been hosting television shows
produced by United States Media Television.
He had a supporting role in the comedy film Bastards.[35]
