After being told Gronk was sitting in the booth behind him, Bradshaw joked ‘That’s where he’ll always be, behind me!’

‘And so I said, ‘If we can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80,’ he continued. ‘That’s… I think that’s time. 80 years old, that’s pushing it!’

‘I knew exactly what I wanted for the FOX Sports pregame show. To find out he was Terry Bradshaw was a bit of a shock, but he was the perfect television personality because, with him, you always expected the unexpected.’

Bradshaw has come under pressure from viewers to retire in recent years but has remained adamant about staying on the air in the face of criticism. At one point, Bradshaw joked about wanting to die while on air.

‘I told FOX: ‘If I could just die on the show, think about the ratings, right? Are we not about ratings? That’d be huge. Not only that, there would be a huge carryover,’ he said to Denver Sports 104.3.

”Then all the networks would be saying ‘Bradshaw died on FOX NFL Sunday. Huge stuff, and then maybe I get a statue out front. But if I can keep my health together, I love what I’m doing. But we all get old and we’re going to get kicked out. I’m not looking over my shoulder, but [Tom] Brady is coming in for $37.5million.’

Bradshaw’s on-screen career dates back to 1980 during a two-year stint with CBS as a commentator. He had his breakthrough in 1994 when he was hired by Fox.
