Terry Bradshaw experienced a Christmas filled with laughter, but not for the reasons you might expect. The festive season turned into comedy central for Bradshaw as his family dressed him in a way that left him in stitches—eventually.
His daughter, Erin Bradshaw, posted a hilarious Instagram story featuring the NFL legend sitting with a resigned expression as colorful hair extensions were clipped onto his head. The pièce de résistance? The person behind the camera likened him to “IT the Clown.” This festive fun came just days after Bradshaw’s FOX NFL Sunday banter about retirement stirred conversations both on and off the field.
Despite Terry’s mockingly solemn demeanor, his family’s laughter made it clear that no one escapes Bradshaw’s legendary wit—not even Bradshaw himself. These moments reflect the jovial atmosphere surrounding the Hall of Famer, whose off-camera antics often rival his on-air presence.

Erin’s video, perfectly timed for Christmas cheer, showcased his family’s ability to poke fun at the 76-year-old icon. And in true Bradshaw fashion, he took it in stride, proving once again why fans adore his blend of humor and humility. However, Terry has faced increasing calls for retirement, especially after several on-air gaffes during FOX NFL broadcasts.
In one instance, he mistakenly discussed Cleveland Browns’ Nick Chubb while footage of the Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans game was playing. This slip-up, along with others, sparked outrage on social media. As fans suggested, it might be time for the Steelers legend to retire. Some even went as far as to say, “Who’s tuning in for Bradshaw?” and urged him to “turn off the mic.” However, on-air, Bradshaw’s analysis of Russell Wilson highlighted his enduring expertise.
FOX NFL Sunday and Terry Bradshaw’s take on retirement
On FOX NFL Sunday, TB12’s colleagues teased him about retirement rumors. Michael Strahan drew laughs when he compared fan calls for Russell Wilson’s removal to similar sentiments about Bradshaw. “You said something that set you up,” Strahan joked, adding, “That’s been happening to you for years.” However, Bradshaw’s quick wit shone. Terry quickly deflected the topic with a chuckle. “Anyway, America…” he said, turning the spotlight back to Wilson’s impressive season.
“The humiliation has had an effect on him as a man,” Bradshaw remarked, noting Wilson’s turnaround with the Steelers after turbulent years. “He’s there with Mike Tomlin, and he’s doing a great job playing Steeler football.” Strahan, on the other hand, also reminded his colleague of his place.

“We all want you here. We love you here,” he said, emphasizing Bradshaw’s irreplaceable role. The lighthearted exchange reinforced the camaraderie that defines FOX NFL Sunday. However, Bradshaw’s response—swiftly steering the conversation back to Wilson—was classic Terry. And this interplay between Bradshaw’s personal and professional life reveals his depth.
