Considered by many to be the finest quarterback the pro game has produced, Terry Bradshaw was the first player chosen in the 1970 NFL draft after a stellar career at Louisiana Tech where he set school passing and total offense records that still stand. During his 14-year NFL career as a Pittsburgh Steeler, he led the team to eight straight playoff appearances (1972-79), including six AFC Championship Games and four Super Bowl victories. Noted for his "big game" prowess, Bradshaw completed 49 of 84 pass attempts in his four Super Bowl performances, throwing nine touchdowns and only three interceptions. The unanimous choice for Most Valuable Player in Super Bowls XIII and XIV, he retired just prior to the 1984 season and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989, his first year of eligibility.

Bradshaw began his broadcasting career before his playing days were over, working alongside Brent Musburger as a guest commentator for CBS Sports' NFC post-season telecasts from 1980-82. He joined CBS as an NFL game analyst in 1984 and was their studio analyst on "The NFL Today" (1990-1994) before moving to Fox as co-host and analyst for "Fox NFL Sunday" (1994- ). He has also covered the Daytona 500 and Michigan 400 auto races as well as the Iditarod Dog Sled Race in Alaska.

Bradshaw appeared in three Hal Needham-directed Burt Reynolds movies ("Hooper" 1978, "Smoky and the Bandit II" 1980, and "The Cannonball Run" 1980) and, among his many TV credits, guest-starred as himself in episodes of "Evening Shade" (CBS) and "Married... With Children" (Fox). He debuted as host of "Home Team" (1997), a one-hour syndicated talk show that tried to introduce his folksy humor and Southern charm to a wider audience than his football broadcasts had reached. It lasted only two months on the air.
