Does it ever drive you crazy, just how fast the night changes? But in Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw‘s case, it has been anything but fast. They have been staples of FOX NFL Sunday since 1994. That’s three decades of pregame laughs, banter, and Bradshaw occasionally veering off-topic in the most endearing way.

I mean, we can understand how for some of you, seeing their familiar faces every Sunday feels like catching up with old friends. But here’s the thing: even the most beloved plays can start to feel predictable, right? Is it time for FOX to call an audible and shake things up?

This past season, FOX NFL Sunday continued its reign as the top NFL pregame show. With 4.4 million viewers tuning in every week, it’s clear the formula still works. The consistency, the chemistry—fans know what they’re getting, like a perfectly executed screen pass.

And let’s not forget the iconic lineup: Terry, Jimmy, Howie Long, and Curt Menefee. Their camaraderie is the secret sauce, keeping fans coming back for 31 consecutive seasons. That’s longer than Tom Brady’s career—take that, GOAT!

Still, some fans are starting to wonder if familiarity breeds, well, complacency. The NBA has Inside the NBA, a show celebrated for its fresh, unfiltered vibe. FOX’s long-standing crew feels like a steady offensive line: reliable, but maybe missing a spark. Could a fresh face or two reinvigorate the show? Or is it the very nostalgia that makes FOX NFL Sunday so beloved?

The numbers don’t lie, though. While other pregame shows shuffle their lineups—CBS’ The NFL Today and ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown come to mind—FOX sticks to its game plan. And it’s working. Viewership climbed from 4.39 million last season to 4.4 million this year. That’s like squeezing out an extra yard on 4th-and-1. Not flashy, but effective.

And that’s where the fans come in. Should Terry and Jimmy keep calling the shots, or is it time for a new lineup? Opinions are split…

There are two sides to Terry Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson’s FOX marriage

As FOX heads into another high-stakes playoff broadcast with the Eagles–Packers game, fans can’t seem to stop debating whether Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw should still be calling the shots on FOX NFL Sunday. Some call them irreplaceable legends, while others think it’s time for a fresh playbook. And let me tell you, the internet isn’t holding back.

Our article titled, Cowboys Legend Jimmy Johnson’s Message to America After Securing Major Honor With Terry Bradshaw & FOX Crew has reached over 230,000 readers. So, we expected some to voice their opinions on the whole scene. And guess what, a lot did!

One fan chimed in: “Please keep them. I love their humor and experience.” Honestly, it’s hard to argue with that. Terry’s goofy antics and Jimmy’s no-nonsense takes have been the heartbeat of the show for decades. Their chemistry feels like a perfectly executed flea-flicker—unexpected but always entertaining.

Another reader backed them up: “Absolutely, their wisdom of the game outshines any little missteps. Hell, I’m 65, and I have moments myself.” Makes sense, right? Sure, Terry might butcher a name here and there (RIP “Puma”), but let’s not forget the hours of preparation and insight these guys bring. They’ve seen more NFL seasons than some current players have seen birthdays.

But not everyone’s sold. One blunt commenter didn’t hold back: “I think before they both make very embarrassing remarks, they should retire.” Ouch. It’s true that age is a factor, and the occasional gaffe has sparked conversations about whether the duo is still the best fit for the job. No one wants their heroes to fumble the snap in front of millions. I mean, Terry literally said, “I am from New Orleans. I believe in Voodoo. Like all the people do in Louisiana,” when the Saints stumbled to a 2-6 back in week 8. Terry basically meant he had some spirited advice for the team, not very Saintly, now is it?

Then came the defense: “Why? They’re the smartest announcers out of all. If anyone wants to see them go… flip the channel.” And there it is—your classic defensive line, standing firm. For every critic calling for a rebuild, there’s a loyal fan ready to run the hurry-up offense to keep these legends on air.

It’s open right now. But what’s your verdict? Should Terry and Jimmy hang up the mic, or keep dishing out their unique brand of analysis?
