NFL legend and FOX broadcaster Terry Bradshaw, 74, jokes about DYING on air ahead of Super Bowl

Terry Bradshaw joked Wednesday about dying live as he wraps up another season as co-host of FOX NFL Sunday.

The former Steelers quarterback and Hall of Famer has been with the program since its inception in 1994 and has no plans to resign anytime soon at the age of 74.

‘I told FOX, if you could die on the show, think about the ratings, right? Isn’t it about grades? That would be great,” he told reporters in Phoenix before Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles.

‘Not only that, it would be a huge carryover. All the networks would be saying that Bradshaw died on the FOX NFL show. Can you imagine the huge things? And maybe it has a huge statue in front.

Bradshaw has become a fixture on FOX’s NFL coverage after ending his playing career in 1983, but serious health problems threatened that position, and his life, not long ago.

Bradshaw revealed last October that he battled bladder and skin cancer, though he was later diagnosed cancer-free, which remains the case today.

“I want to do it, if I keep my health in order, I love what I’m doing,” Bradshaw said Wednesday.

But we all get old. They kick us all out. I’m not looking over my shoulder, but [Tom] Enter Brady.

The legendary Patriots and Bucs quarterback signed a 10-year, $375 million deal to work with the network, scheduled to start in fall 2024.

And Bradshaw said Wednesday that it won’t be an easy transition for the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

“It won’t be easy,” said the four-time Super Bowl champion, who only played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1970 to 1983. “The problem with Tom is that everyone is going to watch. Everyone wants to see how he does it.

“Tom will do the job,” Bradshaw said. ‘Television is you and me. I’m talking to you. I’m not going to talk over your head [or] beneath you. I will speak directly to you.

‘We are going to have fun. We’ll keep it simple. We are going to have a good visit today. That’s television,’ she added. ‘The faster I can learn that, and relax [the better he’ll be].’
