Terry Bradshaw Hinting At Leaving FOX Sports

With former Fox Sports NFL Pregame show commentator Jimmy Johnson retiring earlier from television this month, it makes the other commentators think about their own television mortality.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Terry Bradshaw, winner of four Super Bowl titles with the Steel Curtain, announced he will be back for the 2025 season, unlike Johnson, whom he credits as a friend.

He will not comment on the future past the next few seasons.

“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.”

Television personality Michael Strahan, who is much younger than Bradshaw, is also contemplating stepping down, but not any time soon. He is the youngest of the fun bunch.

"I’m not planning on retiring anytime soon. I will at some point, and I’d like to say a lot sooner than a lot of people probably think I will,” Strahan told T&C. “When I do it, it will be because I just want to have the freedom to be with (Isabella) and her sister, and her other sister and brother. Wherever they are, whatever they’re doing, I want to be there.”

Strahan, whose daughter Isabella has been battling cancer, wants to spend weekends with his family. Strahan also has a job during the week as a co-anchor on Good Morning America.
