Bradshaw puts off retirement
Posted: Sunday June 29, 2008 09:03AM ET
In January, during the run-up to the Giants-Patriots Super Bowl, Fox's Terry Bradshaw said he was nearing the end of his television career. Bradshaw said he would retire when his Fox "NFL Sunday" contract expires. "I see the energy and the enthusiasm these young guys (who get into broadcasting) have and I think it's time to hang it up," Bradshaw said. Now, with some down time, and a chance to reflect while distancing himself from the regular-season grind, Bradshaw has changed his mind. "I'm going to do it (the Fox pregame) as long as I can. I don't want to retire," Bradshaw told me. "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."

Report Offensive CommentI think Winkstrap learned how to copy and paste and spent a lot of time putting other people's thoughts in his post. But I can live with his passing out, too, if that's the case.

Report Offensive CommentI am surprised that Fox didn't give him the boot after admitting to steriod usage during his playing career, but to each its own, good luck Terry!

Report Offensive CommentI'm glad to see Terry hanging in there. This will give his brain cell a chance to stay active, thereby prolonging his life!
All kidding aside, what would that show be without his boy-like exhuberance?

Ha ha you Pats haters and conservatives!!! 3 deserved and hard-earned Super Bowls and same sex marriage to boot and you cannot take them away from us!!!!!!!!!!
So what if we cheated? | 06/28/08, 09:32 PM
I am not a Pats fan, but I would say that winning three Super Bowls in four years and having your playoff loses come against teams that won the Super Bowl as being pretty impressive. How many teams have won 18 games in one season other than New England? The answer: None. Again, I am not a Pats fan, but New England but they are a damned good team. As for the cheating thing, everyone was doing that, so it really did not amount much.
