subject: Terry Bradshaw - An American Hero [print this page] I remember watching Terry Bradshaw play football when I was a boy. He played for the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. In those days I loved the Oakland Raiders. They played in great games.
Terry Bradshaw has done a lot of things, other than play football, in his life. He was born on September 2, 1948, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Some consider him to be one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Terry Bradshaw has spent much of his life playing, reporting, and commenting on football. While at Louisiana Tech he was voted an All American. He was the first player selected in the 1970 draft. He then went on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Terry Bradshaw won 4 Super Bowls as a starting quarterback, becoming the first player to ever accomplish that feat. In those games they beat the Los Angeles Rams, the Minnesota Vikings and they beat the Dallas Cowboys two times.
As mentioned earlier in the article, Terry Bradshaw was born in Louisiana. His father and mother were named Bill and Novis Bradshaw and he had two other brothers. The Pittsburgh Steelers took him first in the 1970 NFL draft. The Steelers drew the first pick in the draft after winning a coin flip tiebreaker with the Chicago Bears due to both teams having equivalent 1-13 records in 1969. Bradshaw became a starter one year after he was drafted in 1970. He had his finest season in 1978 when he was named the Most Valuable Player by the Associated Press.
In 1983 TB retired from the NFL. He quickly signed a television contract with CBS to become an NFL game analyst in 1984. He teamed with legendary broadcaster Verne Lundquist and worked play-by-play. Their shows become a top rated program.
When he went to the NFL Today show, his career blossomed as a broadcaster as he was promoted into a television studio analyst. He worked with Greg Gumbel through the 1993 season on Fox NFL Sunday. He comes off as a goofy country boy on the show and he has lots of jokes and funny things to say. Bradshaw has also written or co-written five books and recorded six albums of country/western and gospel music.
