Retirement no longer in plans for Fox's Terry Bradshaw
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."
The arrival of Michael Strahan, Bradshaw said, will freshen up the current cast whose core (Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson) has been together for most of the program's 14-year run, not counting the three years Johnson missed coaching the Dolphins.
