URGENT UPDATE: Fans are calling for legendary analyst Terry Bradshaw to retire following a shocking blunder during a special edition of FOX NFL Sunday this weekend. The 77-year-old Hall of Famer’s gaffe comes as he continues to face health struggles, raising concerns about his future on the air.
During the broadcast on October 14, 2023, Bradshaw, alongside fellow analysts Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jay Glazer, and Rob Gronkowski, discussed the upcoming rivalry game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. As the team analyzed the season-ending ACL injury to Packers star Micah Parsons, Bradshaw mistakenly celebrated the news, saying, “If I’m [Jordan] Love, I’m going, ‘No Parsons, yes!’”
This comment drew immediate backlash from viewers, as Jordan Love is not only the Packers’ quarterback but also a teammate of Parsons. Social media erupted with mixed reactions. One fan on X stated, “Love Bradshaw. Underrated all-time great QB. It’s time to retire. Been time for a while now.” Another echoed, “Time for Terry to hang it up,” while some defended him, saying, “Give this guy a break.”
Bradshaw’s slip comes as he has already confessed to contemplating retirement earlier this year. He has battled significant health issues, including two cancer diagnoses, further raising the stakes for his future in broadcasting. In a candid moment, he remarked during the season opener, “Jimmy [Johnson] is not with us anymore – he’s retired now. 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 the NFL season heats up, fans are left wondering if this latest incident marks a turning point for Bradshaw. Will he heed the calls for retirement, or will he continue to grace the screen for the remainder of his contract? Stay tuned for updates as this situation evolves.
The emotional weight of this unfolding story resonates with fans, many of whom grew up watching Bradshaw as a Pittsburgh Steelers icon. His legacy in football is undeniable, but the question remains: Is it time for the “Blond Bomber” to hang up his mic for good?
