An older friend told me he played on a softball team with Terry 40 plus years ago. Terry played Center field, he would throw the ball on a rope to the catcher from the fence. No cut off man.
I was at Fair Park High School in Shreveport, my home...I knew Terry Bradshaw as a competitor the track meet at Northwestern was the meet of Champions. He was the BEST OF THE BEST...FACT...He was about the NICEST GUY you would ever meet..I was Pole Vaulter...We spoke. But it was because we both were in the field events...This was and Is a good guy...
I was in school at NLSC (Monroe, La) one year when Terry was qb at La. Tech. Our team wasn’t bad, but Terry literally toyed with us. He passed us silly and no one on our team could even catch him when he ran. And due to Roger Staubach’s Navy assignment in Florida after his graduation, NLSC (now ULM) played the Goshawks one year with Roger as their quarterback. Same thing. Roger passed and ran us silly, like men against boys. It is amazing the difference in talent from high school, then college, then professional for these super-gifted athletes.
The level of ability these guys had as youth is beyond what people understand. I watched a couple of docs on Ray Guy and Kenny Stabler and they too were like the best athletes in their whole state. Could play any sport and dominate. I think people just don't understand the next level ability of professional athletes at any sport. I think more of them could play any sport than we really understand.
So true, in 7th grade I was the best tennis player in my town (our high school has won many state championships). It was nice to have that feeling. One day in gym class the teacher asked me to teach this 8th grader how to grip the racket, and I did. Long story short, he was a phenomenal athlete and within just 3 years he was training at the famous Nick Bollittieri camp in Florida with some of the best players in the country. My boy was THAT gifted and special. He never made pro but had a decent college career, which is respectable as hell. And to your point of these types of athletes playing any sport - he was also the fastest kid in school. He was like an adult as age 15.
Yep, that's what used to drive me crazy about youth baseball parents. I'd tell people, for the most part, if your kid is show worthy, you'd already know. They'd be head and shoulders better than the others.
@@edgardeese "head and shoulders' literally too. Baseball parents are the worst. As a football coach I don't think bball parents really understand how big bball players are. I've only been to a few games, not my sport, but those guys are big dudes. And probably most were beyond top tier from their school/towns. Being 6'3" 200+ and reflexes and speed like the wind on a diamond isn't any less abnormal then on a gridiron. They are both just as rare.
Hated him as a player (as a teenage Raider fan in the 70s - I was obligated to), but love him as an anouncer; not to mention when he was in Married With Chidren.
For every kid that said they just KNEW they were going to make it in pro sports and did make it, there are literally millions that said the same thing, and meant it, that didn’t.
I didn't know about his ADHD....now I understand him a bit better as I was diagnosed at 56 years old....but have had a good life now 85 with a boat load of stories to tell but not as good as Bradshaw....always loved that guy
MY SONS 7th GRADE COACH WENT TO ALL THE LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES. HE KNEW WHO THE BALL PLAYERS WERE THE FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE. COACH MAY HAVE KNOWN THOSE KIDS
Me too. He did an SEC Championship game in 2012? I think it was Georgia and LSU, and it was insufferable to listen to him. I have got no respect for the clown.
I think terry Bradshaw was elite in his nfl career, but barely, by the nip of his teeth, literally by one stat. If he would have had one more bad play or one more loss he would have only been average. He won four super bowls and did great things but also had many interceptions.
Terry is the King!!! What a great storyteller. The only thing he wasn't good at was Singing.....but that didn't stop him.
Terry is as Real as it gets!
Pittsburgh Loves and thanks you for gifting us with your Leadership.
You can still here Terry's passion in this interview.
you can also see joe buck's eye liner
One in a million.
Love Terry Bradshaw...and Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Mean Joe Greene, etc etc etc.
BACK THEN THEY WERE MEN, WHEN THEY GOT IN THE ENDZONE THEY DIDN'T ACT UP LIKE MONKEYS
I remember that team. ✨

I was at Byrd High. He whooped us 40-3.

Thank you for giving credit to the band! They work hard to keep spirits high!
I met him before, he is a great conversationalist
Mr TB great legend we here in Columbia SC love you
We in Charleston, sc love Terry Bradshaw too 😁
Yes Steelers fans since 1995 we don't like cheaters Tom Brady and his old Coach not all

Awesome interview!
Love Terry, followed him into the pro's and the Steelers and still a Steeler fan today. I loved the "good ol boy" in him!
Wow. Terry defines natural athlete. Sounds like he never had a personal coach, just worked it out.
TB is such a great conversationalist. He tells the simplicity of the day.
Terry was and still is a salty man but he proved himself to so many.
Terry is a treasure

Unfortunately , you never grew up so it's called having respect.
@UnitedStatesofAmerica.44 What chicken sh*t, snarky comment. Never grew up? Sounds like you never grew up.
I enjoyed watching the game when Terry Bradshaw was in the game.
What a character. Such a great quarterback too!!
Terry’s single javelin throw at 239 feet still stands as the Louisiana State record. 😮😂
For every kid that said they just KNEW they were going to make it in pro sports and did make it, there are literally millions that said the same thing, and meant it, that didn’t.
I read his autobiography and it was VERY entertaining.
He never egts the credit for being one of he best QB's ever
Terry looks great, too!
Wow, record still stands!
Natural charm.
I didn't know about his ADHD....now I understand him a bit better as I was diagnosed at 56 years old....but have had a good life now 85 with a boat load of stories to tell but not as good as Bradshaw....always loved that guy
The Charles Barkley of football
Did you bring enough food? Great scene from Cannonball Run with Mel Tillis & Terry Bradshaw
I understand, my dad always said I could not play until they gave me a free uniform. It was 9th grade till it happened. 😊
National treasure
MY SONS 7th GRADE COACH WENT TO ALL THE LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES. HE KNEW WHO THE BALL PLAYERS WERE THE FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE. COACH MAY HAVE KNOWN THOSE KIDS
Most powerful arm **ever** in the history of professional football to date... probably college football too.
every kid told their dad when they were seven they were going to be in the NFL. Heck you told everybody that.
Bradshaw is an amazing man. His IQ is double his shoe size and yet he can walk almost upright. On Mondays.
This guy if funny. He would be a hoot to hang out with.
Love Terry. Joe Buck is a Pecker Head!
4-0 baby!
Would have been 5-0 if Franco and Rocky had stayed healthy through the playoffs. Steeler Steel Curtain crushed teams that year.
Wrong shade of lip stick for Joe buck
dude is a Cover Girl.
Good thing his competition was into moonshine.
lol, is Bucky wearing lipstick
Thank God this was Joe Buck asking the questions. Instead of Dem dan patrick.
perfect example of undiagnosed mental health issues, thxs for coming out on those issues...
I wonder how many kids said they would be in the NFL?
Joe may want to remove some of his lipstick
He is saving it for Troy.
What's with lipstick on the interviewer?😂😂
Not if Duck Dynasty Phill wouldn’t have quit football.
That's weird. I played QB one year in 10th grade and I couldn't get to the handoff sometimes. I can relate to that Terry! Lived in fear of that.
A L Williams left coaching became billionaire slling insurance buy term invest the difference TERMITES
What an awesome guy
Terry is so damaged from child hood.
I hate Joe buck. I do not understand him being around
I don’t hate him, but he is arrogant.
Me too. He did an SEC Championship game in 2012? I think it was Georgia and LSU, and it was insufferable to listen to him. I have got no respect for the clown.
Too bad Terri went woke.

He is the greatest of that era. Period.
@@romanfields7900 Babe Ruth lead the league in Home Runs and strikeouts. Just saying.
What an incredible stupid program your community program had at your youg age.!
You'd have never played in college if Phil hadn't quit to hunt and fish. C'mon Terry. Tell the truth for once.
He's mentioned that in other videos. He was the "back-up" quarterback! Both Terry and Phil are great men!
He did just that.., some years back…
That is false. No way was ol Phil better than Terry.
Cant believe hes woke liberal
Wow! Terry could be sportin 4 Super Bowl rings and an Olympic gold medal!
