But it’s not because of his 14-year NFL career, his 40-plus-year career as a broadcaster, or the daily work of manning his Texas ranch. No, what’s really been wearing him out is all the autographs he’s been signing. I've got 2,500 more sent to me, and I've signed 750 since last night and this morning,” Bradshaw tells Men’s Health.
Looking for Terry, Bradshaw’s second memoir, arrived earlier this month, 25 years after his last book. And the 78-year-old has experienced plenty in that span. He got married (for a fourth time) to his longtime partner Tammy in 2014, survived two cancer diagnoses and even launched his own bourbon.
Bradshaw’s book also gets into his struggles with depression and his “dumb” public image—which has followed him since his playing days. But as the curtain begins to close on his broadcasting career, Bradshaw isn’t interested in taking a victory lap. The Steelers legend told us that he recently signed a two-year extension with Fox, but expects to be replaced after the network shows the Super Bowl in 2029.
He’s hoping that there’s no fancy send-off—not that he expects that wish to be honored. MEN’S HEALTH: This is your first memoir since 2001. Why was now the time to put out another one?
TERRY BRADSHAW: I enjoy doing books, unlike probably a lot of people. The first couple of books were fine. The last three I've really enjoyed doing [with coauthor David Fisher].
You kind of park the vanity a little bit, and you say to yourself, "You know what? I’ve got a few things that have happened to me in the last 20-plus years. I'd like to share it with people.” And I'm thinking those that buy the book will learn from the book.
