Terry Bradshaw

After Bradshaw retired from football, he began a career in television. He had worked as a guest commentator for CBS Sports while playing for the Steelers, and in 1984 he joined the network as an NFL game analyst. He formed a famous collaboration with play-by-play announcer Verne Lundquist. So close was the relationship and so bitter was Bradshaw over his premature retirement that he chose Lundquist to introduce him at his NFL Hall of Fame induction in 1989 over his former coach, Chuck Noll. With his career statistics, four Super Bowl victories and two Super Bowl MVPs, Bradshaw was a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame and was inducted as soon as he became eligible. In his acceptance speech, Bradshaw with typical humility, thanked his teammates: "…it takes people. All our careers, we were blessed with great people around me. I'm a fortunate quarterback to have so much beautiful talent. So many wonderful athletes to go out and get the job done. Allowed me to be the kind of person I was. Go out and be aggressive and to attack. And have fun and to lie and to tell jokes and to cut up with the reporters who still hadn't figured me out yet. That was fun. I enjoyed that. I got a kick out of that."
