Terry Bradshaw has a good idea about when he would finally like to call it quits on his Fox Sports broadcasting career.
The NFL legend was asked by Mirror US Sports about when he’d like to retire and the 76-year-old Bradshaw pointed to Super Bowl 2029 as his desired farewell date.
Bradshaw, who is in New Orleans for Super Bowl 2025 between the Chiefs and Eagles, has two more years left on his Fox contract but has conveyed to his wife that he would like to work until he is 80 before calling it a career.
“I told my wife before I left the room a while ago, I’m sitting there… I said, ‘I’ve got two years left at FOX,’ Bradshaw said. “‘I’m 76. Okay, so it’s a young man’s game. I get that.’ Everybody wants the new. … If we can get to the next Super Bowl (on Fox) I’ll be 80. I think that’s time. Eighty years old, that’s pushing it.”
When talking about “the new”, the four-time Super Bowl champion with the Steelers, pointed toward fellow Fox analyst Rob Gronkowski, who was in the booth behind him at the media session in the Big Easy.
“That’s where he’ll always be,” Bradshaw joked.
Bradshaw, who has been part of the “NFL on Fox” pregame show since its 1994 debut, has been under some pressure from fans to retire for his sometimes strange or amiss analysis – but he’s a legend at this point in his career and clearly wants to stick around.
He joked in 2023 about dying on the job.
“I told Fox: ‘If I could just die on the show, think about the ratings, right?,” Bradshaw said. “Are we not about ratings? That’d be huge. Not only that, there would be a huge carryover.”
Bradshaw will be right next to Gronkowski, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Co. for Sunday’s big game which will be broadcast on Fox and if he has his way that’s exactly where he’d like to be for four more years.
