Growing up in a little town just outside of Pittsburgh and seeing these guys when I was very young left a lasting impact. That team from back then was without a doubt one of the best to ever play and they did so in a very humble and fun manner. Terry never got to a point where he wasn't there for the fans. He was true to the sport and true to the fans just like the whole team was during that time. Here we are 30ish years later and he is still just as humble and just as down to earth as ever and STILL there for the fans! Not for himself like the new era "flashy" quarterbacks. The Steeler era made football fun even when they lost games that they should have won.
@kirk4086 sweet!! 2 of my sisters were born in Latrobe have family that still lives there,a couple of us were born in Brownsville mom was born in Harwick dad was born in Coal Center it will always be "Home" for me no matter where i live
Terry is one of the greatest Quarterbacks of all time, he don't get the credit he deserves of the great receviers he have, he was good at reading defenses.
Well, Terry admitted that his regular season numbers weren't the greatest. Consider he threw only 2 more TDs than INTs in his career (212 to 210), and threw more INTs than TDs in 5 seasons. He didn't need the best stats during the regular season because of all the talent around him and the all-time great defenses. But when it was crunchtime - the postseason and Super Bowl, he turned the switch on and became Mr. Clutch.
Always Loved T.B. & Steelers! T.B. won '4' Super Bowls in '6' yrs. > VERY Different Game & Players Character back then, not comparable to Today's 'Selfie' Protect Self - Push & Shove & Slide & Run out of bounds > AVOID Serious Contact - NO Helmet & Pads as a Weapon (noting like the 60's 70's & 80's!) TOTALLY DIFFERENT RULES & REFS!!!
Also remember he had a great team behind him. Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Donnie Shell, Mel Blunt and Chuck Noll as coach. Without those guys there is no 4 Super Bowls or hall of fame career.
I learned a lot about football watching Mr. Bradshaw play. I would sit next to my daddy, eating popcorn, learning to love and understand the game. I love seeing him now talking and still having fun with the game. He was a true athlete, and still makes watching him fun. Thanks for the memories, sir!
Madden also helps tbh haha. played it since I was 6 and I've always paid attention to the playbook stuff. The new Madden's actually have these features that teach you literally everything about each type of coverage, and line matchup. different gaps. responsibilities. it's like a nerdy fans wet dream haha
Juan Alvarez Yeah Mel Blount would hit receivers so hard and all over the field that they changed the rules to defend the receivers at 5yards hits only and let’s not forget the head slapping is gone.Steeler defense made the NFL change rules to help the offense.
in the 70s it was much harder to pass the ball because the ol had to block and holding was not allowed....qbs took more of a beating. Bradshaw threw a great deep ball and was really clutch
@Ben Hur his qb rating is low for many reasons. Knoll and bradshaw didnt get along at first and he had some horrible years because knoll didnt use his strengths and set him up to fail. 2nd isThe league avg for qb rating in the 70s was only 65. Bradshaw was 5 points higher which is equivilent to a guy playing in the 2010s having a 93 rating since the league avg is 88. So for his era he is more like a matt ryan or ben rothlisberger who have similar qb ratings and around 93 or 94. Bradshaw built his reputation in the playoffs with a 14-5 record. 4 sbs and 2 superbowl mvps in 1978 and 1979. Its not a coincidence that in 1978 they opened up the passing game a little by changing some rules. He playoff rating was great for his era at 83.9 which is only a little lower than bradys and a superbowl rating of 112 which is way higher than bradys. You must judge qbs from the era they played and not with modern statistics. You mention Stabler but his rating was a 75 which is only 5 points higher than bradshaw. Staubach retired with a 83.9 rating. That was the highest rating in the superbowl era at the time. He was basically the aaron rodgers of his time but better because he had 4 sb appearances and 2 wins in his short 8 year career.
Ken Stabler is in the Hall of Fame, Boomer Esiason played terrible in the Super Bowl when it mattered the most A lot of quarterback play when there’s no pressure or the game is just a regular season it matters the most in the playoffs when the pressure is on , like when Ed too tall Jones is coming to take your head off and is allowed to hit you after you’ve thrown the ball three seconds later, or a wide receiver running on the field can have his head taken off at any moment which was completely legal at the time, looking at the numbers of the 70s compared to the numbers of the 2000s is completely irrelevant being that it’s a different passing game and a softer game, although still violent it is not even close
@Walter White Terry Bradshaw is one of 3 QBs drafted first overall to end up in Canton, Ohio, the other 2 are John Elway and Troy Aikman, he is the last player to win back to back Super Bowl MVPs and he did that 40 years ago, he owns one of the highest career SB passer ratings, but most importantly, when the game was on the line in the biggest game late in the year, late in the game, he was flat out money, in Super Bowls 9, 10 and 13, he threw 8TDs for 320 yards, that's 40 yards per TD, his WRs(Swann and Stallworth) own the highest and 3rd highest yards per reception in SB history, he is the only QB in SB history to average more than 10 yards per completion and you don't know a fucking thing about pro football history, nada, nil, zilch
Defense in Bradshaw's era was a whole different animal. The modern Patriots versus the Steel Curtain? Better have a lot of paramedics on the sidelines.
Yea He was really good and a big game QB at that. Funny thing is if he were playing today the way he struggled his first 5 years in the league the Steelers probably would have got rid of him. Good thing they didn't change Coaches and start rebuilding. They were able to keep so many of there players back then as well from year to year because you didn't have to worry about free agency.
I agree and its not because i have been a fan my whole life i was born there so they will always be my home team and its not because of the win loss record its because they assembled the perfect team each position complimented the other positions and it truly was a "TEAM" they all focused on the goal not themselves they played hurt or sick because the TEAM needed them Dwight White played most of a super bowl and by his own admission doesn't remember most of the game,you just don't find that in players of today,they are just too over regulated and coddled
I just wanted to say.....I'm a life long, born and raised diehard Browns fan and I love Terry Bradshaw. I didn't love him when he was beating my Browns but I was tuning in to every other game he played. I respect greatness and those Steelers teams were the greatest and Bradshaw led the way. He also had the best arm i've ever seen, only Elway comes close in arm strength.
Yeah, I commented somewhere else that with Brady's mobility as it is, he wouldn't last 5 years in the league at that time. That's why I believe you can't have a true "GOAT" because the game itself has changed so much.
I loved Terry and he was my quarterback back in the 70's when I first started watching football. Dallas had beatin by beloved Broncos in the Super Bowl and the following year it was Dallas again in the Super Bowl this time against the Steelers. It was the first Super Bowl that I ever watch 79' and was probably the most exciting because the game was high scoring in the 30's and it went down to the last play and whoever scored last won, which the Steelers did.
I still consider that the best SB, then the NE-Seattle SB, because in both cases it was the two best teams to play in a SB in a decade, and both games were electric. That SB 13 was the greatest collection of HOF players and coaches in history, to this day, and the game was electric; never to be forgotten. It was like Frazier-Ali, the Boys were obnoxious and thank god they lost!
Terry Bradshaw has helped me understand the Game of football more than anyone else...he's a great teacher.. Someine posted on FB who would be your dream date and i said Terry Bradshaw....they said what?? I said he's funny ..i loved the book he wrote about his life...never laughed so hard reading a book in my life and I devour books...he can sing and play the guitar... he raises prize quarter horses...i could ride with him on the date..I would love it because of how much fun he would be And laughter is is close to being in heaven...and he's a God fearing man!
As a Patriots fan for over 40 years, I have always respected Terry Bradshaw. Always thought he was different from the finesse QB's who threw it all over the place. Seem him more as a blue collar worker, a tough player.
At the end of the day, Bradshaw is right. When he puts his rings on the table with the Montanas, the Aikmans, the Mannings, the Bradys, the Elways, the Favres, he is not outclassed by any of these guys, including Brady, and if all that the teams play for is that Super Bowl victory at the very end), all the passing records in the world don't make a difference if your TEAM never won the big game (cough, cough, Dan Marino). And this is coming from a Dolphin fan).
To compare the teams of today to those of yesterday there is a BIG DIFFERENCE. Those of Montana, Bradshaw etc were done without free agency, Brady has had to use different receivers, different O lines etc and that makes a huge difference.
Terry is right. I see guys who have never played football talking football term. for the record I played 3 years varsity and 4 out of 5 years in college.
Wagner27 William That's 4 more years of college football than Belichick played... so by your logic Belichick must not know football. Lacrosse was his main sport. Fact is NFL GMs and coaches draft busts all the time. Mike Ditka is a HOF player who traded away a franchise to get Ricky Williams. An opinion is either true or false on its own merits not on the credentials of the person opining.
If you have never played the sport how can you comment accurately? When I hear some jocksniffer aka a sports media actor talking about football and they have never had to execute a football skill in live conditions I question their ability to arrive at a factual opinion. I for example have never competed in rhythmic gymnastics while Katie Nolan has and at a high level therefore any opinion I might have on the sport is solely a guess ony part..
Wagner27 William I'm just going to mute you. I could not care less about your glory days as a Div III walk on. Terry Bradshaw called Manziel the best QB in the 2014 NFL draft and didn't like Derek Carr ironically because he claimed Carr held the ball. I have never seen any player I was more sure would be a bust than Manziel. He had the best protection I've ever seen at any level of football and threw lobs to receivers of NFL caliber including Mike Evans. His game had zero translation to the NFL. Merril Hoge is the only analyst I am aware of that called Manziel a future bust and he was adamant about that. Kurt Warner is another Super Bowl winning QB who called Manziel the best QB in the draft. Point is I make my own opinions as a casual NFL fan who never played football past high school. I've noticed blowhards like you are usually idiots... I bet you were a huge Manziel supporter haha.
porterhouse division II and on full scholarship. I knew Johnny football would not amount to much because is he played in uptempo spread passing offense which has the QB make half field reads and throw to a spot as a result Johnny football has stats which were grossly exaggerated. Look at Jeff Geoff, he played in the same style system as Johnny and he is so far from being an nfl QB. it is not funny. look at Carson wentz. He played in a multiple pro style offense which blended under center and shotgun in college and he came ready to play. Then again, his head coach was a pro QB as well. You know when is the best time to worry about the draft? That would be the day after it is over. So until that day I do not expend an.ounce of energy on the NFL draft. Mel Kiper has like a 15% accuracy rate at pick picks. If it was not for the MSNBC of sports televising the draft to get a ratings bump in May you would see less interest.
Katie is such a gentle soul (and total goofball). As Belichick says, "stats are for losers". The Steelers played a game that made sense for their strengths and the era, Terry's big arm, and great downfield receivers a perfect complement to a great defense and the Harris running game. Nobody was using the short passing game for a high efficiency offense yet.
People need to understand how different the league was back then. Bradshaw's first year he threw 6 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. Not taking anything away from him just saying the game has changed tremendously since that time.
I grew up with Joe Cool. Seen Bradshaw in Hooper & Cannon Ball Run. Bought his book I Called My Own Plays. I will always say Joe Cool but at the 8:40 mark when Bradshaw said lets break out the rings that aint no joke. The naysayers can dog him all they want but the rings make noise being dropped on the table like he said
The first problem with anybody, male or female, who is attempting to make a living as any kind of speaker, is this. If you say “like” every other word, you don’t belong on TV or in front of any audience.
Bradshaw was not the greatest QB, but he was on one of the greatest teams. One of the greatest defenses, and they had a tough run game. And he made the big plays when he had to.
The players back in the 1970's and 80's did everything to injure or knock out the quarterbacks or star players out of the game. players could get away with body slamming the quarterbacks on their heads and knocking them out of the game for good. the average quarterback lasted 13/14 years.The protection on quarterbacks today is given them longer careers.The Steelers back in the 1970's could had had 5-6 super bowl championships if it wasn't for injuries and the teams raiders and miami were almost as good as the steelers alway tough competion throughout playoffs
Yeah...can you imagine what the Steelers could have done with the rules the way they are now? And with Brady's mobility, I don't think he lasts 5 years. He'd be destroyed.
Hey Katie, love your show but maybe give your panel some time to get into the segment. For 50% of the time I thought there were only two of you on the set.
Terry Bradshaw is also very accurate about Mike Tomlin not being a good coach for the Steelers...stating that the Steelers lack discipline, they're not prepared all the time, and it starts with the HC. Also he feels Tomlin talks to much about other teams, showing disrespect, when Tomlin should just keep his mouth shut. Bradshaw has stated that Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher never did that, and that all of those teams were disciplined. Due to Tomlin running his mouth, many of the players run their mouth as, and so doesn't assistant coach, Joey Porter..if Porter was a coach on any other team, he would have been FIRED by now. Many Steeler fans want Tomlin FIRED...but the Rooney's want do it. The Steelers won the SB in '08, with Cowher's players, and due to great plays by the players. The difference in that SB, was James Harrison's PICKSIX for 100 yds.
We don't see "real football" today. Maybe just a mild form of it. The future does not look bright either. Seems to get watered down more and more as the years go by.
I remember when I was living with a gal. During our first football season together, she would ask what was going on. I don't claim to be an expert by any means but I tried to at least give her an idea on the basics. After a while, I at least made it so she wouldn't sit there bored from confusion. Her main reason for watching? She liked watching the guys bent over in the huddle.
If you think hes a princess you dont know I know football was tough back then but the players got bigge and stronger as the years went on c'mon these guys now are beasts steroids or not lol
@@keithdoherty7396 Bullshit. Jack Lambert said it years ago. Put them in tutus. Ya can't touch Thomasina without getting flagged. My guess is he flops without Belichik.
Football is for sure too complicated for us fans. We really have no idea whats going on or the strategy behind everything. We like to tell ourselves we have a feel for the game, but it's fools gold
Jiddy12345 doesn't matter... look at what pats secondary did to rams in 01 and colts in 03. Look what belichick did to bills receivers in 90. You play without Blount rule you're now playing to belichicks strength
I would take Bradshaw over Tom "Baby" Brady any day! But those Steeler's of back then were better back then offense and especially defense then they are today..
Terry's advice should be taken to heart by Scott Zolak, former Pats quarterback that broadcasts games on radio. Way too much jargon and techno-speak....which he doesn't explain much, if at all. That said, I like his energy and enthusiasm...
Tom Brady wouldn’t last in the 1970’s or 80’s players. Can you imagine Lawrence Taylor sacking Tom Brady. He would snap his leg like he did to Joe Theismann!
I've seen both teams at their best in my lifetime. Those Pittsburgh Steelers would beat these Patriots and the others as well, most every time. I doubt the Vikings would be winless in Super Bowls if they could be included in this hypothetical conversation about playing todays Patriots.
Completely agree 100% if you can find a team of people that stay in the prime of their live for 60 years they will absolutely beat a team of normal humans any day of the week.
Bradshaw was the GOAT 30 mabe 40 years before Brady even played , lets just say in a Less QB friendly era . Never lost the Big Game . is debatable if Tom Brady even gets 1 Super Bowl then those days . No Brainer here Folks ...Bradshaw Bradshaw Bradshaw !
@Ben Hur lol i get already your lonesome ? depressed ? Hollywood Henderson ? Roger Stauback ? i hear it takes Decades to overcome the Great Terry Bradshaws Big Game Beat Downs so yeah i feel your Pain ..Carry On .. and on and on But to say TB was the worst ,man your either stupid or lack NFL intel . hell ask Trent Dilfer for 1 ...u do know who he is right ? or mabe even the great Jim Kelly who lost every super bowl he played in (4) . i have to guess your lack of NFL Facts is .. how to say Lacking ? your just a Bradshaw hater void of any conversation i suspect however keep on Trolling i say you will get there ..Not
@Ben Hur bro he didnt play 14 year your off a tad again bad intel , Terry Bradshaw was the Man . now i know your must have seen the game where the Browns D-Lineman head dunked The Great One Terry Bradshaw . Turkey Joe Jones he spiked Super Brad head first , even you have to admit in todays game that a season long suspension. Imagin after you watch that video and its around ,you probally watch it every 2 hours or should you would love it . check it out your will be so Happy Roger !
@Ben Hur bro he dont deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? ..He is The Hall of Fame . so i guess u did go take a look see at the Joe Jones Video ..and Yes Super brad come back to win the Super Bowl that season and the MVP of the super bowl same year . Terry did have a Great Team he played on no one can disputed that fact just as no one disputes Terry got most of them on offense to the Hall but again Im Biased Terry had Franco he didnt have to sling it Steelers were Run First as you may well know, im sure that while you have many many Fact to support your theory . it was a differnt game in that era then we have now , which was my main Point . you clearly missed that , but i stand by that again im Biased Brady in my opinion would have been perhaps a Fran Tarkenton or Brian Sipe type player in the wild days of the nfl , hell in those days 70k showed for the games todays game hardly draw sellouts any more and is getting worst the rules ,the stoppages, politics the NFL is a Mess now . and to Mention Namath wtf were u thinking my lord bro Joe wasnt all that at all . ya Brady in that era mabe lasts 4 years from the beating the QB took and Bradshaw couldnt even spell CAT ..Hollywood :)
Comparing different eras is ridiculous! Also ridiculous is Bradshaw and Montana never lost a Super Bowl. My response is that they were only great enough to be in 4 of them, not 9 of them like Brady. Since 2001 when Brady started the Patriots had a 64% winning percentage against playoff teams, the Steelers are second with a 45% winning percentage. That's greatness no matter how hard you try to minimize it!
Always Loved T.B. & Steelers! T.B. won '4' Super Bowls in '6' yrs. > VERY Different Game & Players Character back then, not comparable to Today's 'Selfie' Protect Self - Push & Shove & Slide & Run out of bounds > AVOID Serious Contact - NO Helmet & Pads as a Weapon (noting like the 60's 70's & 80's!) TOTALLY DIFFERENT RULES & REFS!!!
Always Loved T.B. & Steelers! Raiders & Steelers won 7 Super Bowls in 10 yrs. > VERY VERY Different Game & Players Character back then, not even comparable to Today's 'Selfie' Protect Self - Push & Shove & Slide & Run out of bounds > AVOID Serious Contact - NO Helmet & Pads as a Weapon (noting like the 60's & 70's & 80's!) TOTALLY DIFFERENT RULES & REFS!!!
Players are bigger, faster, stronger now than ever before. The offensive line of the Pats probably weighs 50lbs more per man that the old Steelers. jack Lambert played at barely 200 lbs. Linebackers now can weigh 250. It's a different game today.
Bradshaw, Montana, Elway, Aikman - all tough. The NFL's cash cow needed $. Fantasy ( WTF) fantasy has protected the QB in a way that these 4 never had. Brady would have had a early exit if the rules would have stayed the same. Keep the same rules and eliminate the cheating from the organization - 2 Superbowls at best. Bradshaw was a great quarterback on one of the best teams ever.
I would have to say Terry Bradshaw is a better quarterback you could almost take a quarterbacks head off back in the 70s when Terry played and I would have to say this Tom Brady get special treatment you can’t even tap him in the back without the yellow flag being thrown hands down Terry Bradshaw he earn his four Super Bowls
He actually played with 8 HOFers and HOF coach and owner, but he is also the first QB drafted 1st overall to get elected into the HOF, he got drafted by the worst team in football that had never won 1 playoff game ever, how many titles would Brady not have if that moronic Tuck rule didn't aid Brady, or if Seattle runs the ball at the 1 or Atlanta doesn't choke in the 4th quarter, we can play that if game too
Dave --- I am a died hard Steelers fan, ever since 1969, but I agree, If Bradshaw was with the Saints he would have zero Rings, & if A. Manning played with the Steelers they would probably have won even more Rings, or Montana or any other more consistent QB. BUT WHAT A TEAM in the seventies.
Dave --- It wasn't Bradshaw that made the team great, it was the team the made Bradshaw great. I mean he through 3 interceptions in SB 14, but his defense kept them in the game. He was a clutch player in big games, most of the time. But I remember a playoff game against the Raiders that the Steelers lost, & the Raiders went on to win the SB. In that game both starting running backs were out of that game, that was the year that is considered the greatest Steelers defense of all time, with so many shutouts, yet Bradshaw could not carry the team on his back. Their was a lot of injuries that season on offense, including Bradshaw, but supposedly he was heathy for the playoff game.
Tom Brady is a great quarterback but I say Terry Bradshaw is the better. He was drafted by the Steelers who sucked for the previous 60 years and was only in one playoff game. His first years were miserable. Brady walked on to a great superbowl ready team. Bradshaw played a rougher game when they ALLOWED you to hit the quarterback and drive him into the ground. He also ran the ball head on into defenders. There's no way Brady could handle that punishment. Bradshaw took the hard road. He started at the bottom and went through rough years. If Bradshaw had the opportunity of being drafted by a superbowl ready team like Pats and started at the top, he may have won 8 superbowls. Dont forget Bob Griese, the 72 Dolphins and the perfect season. The so called GOAT Tom Brady cant touch that.
Nick Hlawka Andy played for next to no money. I believe his rookie year he signed on for $24,000 a year. I believe back then the money wasn't the important thing it was winning

Terry Bradshaw is hilarious, he’s one of the greatest people in all of nfl with his personality and just general good heart
A rarity in today's NFL
Gosh, this is by far the best sports-related interview on tv - a great guest and equally great hosts.
Bradshaw is awesome.
I love to hear his take on football.
Growing up in a little town just outside of Pittsburgh and seeing these guys when I was very young left a lasting impact. That team from back then was without a doubt one of the best to ever play and they did so in a very humble and fun manner. Terry never got to a point where he wasn't there for the fans.

I'm from Latrobe, you?

Played in an era when quarterbacks were regularly pummeled to the ground

If you remember he sucked the first 3 seasons of his career.
Also remember he had a great team behind him. Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Donnie Shell, Mel Blunt and Chuck Noll as coach. Without those guys there is no 4 Super Bowls or hall of fame career.
How can not LOVE Terry Bradshaw!!!
Grew up watching the Bradshaw ,steelers era dynasty.....great Qb ,tough guy....great defense....great teams
I learned a lot about football watching Mr. Bradshaw play. I would sit next to my daddy, eating popcorn, learning to love and understand the game. I love seeing him now talking and still having fun with the game. He was a true athlete, and still makes watching him fun. Thanks for the memories, sir!
Terry REALLY made a good point. if sports casters understood this, we'd have a much smarter well informed fan base.
Madden also helps tbh haha. played it since I was 6 and I've always paid attention to the playbook stuff.
The new Madden's actually have these features that teach you literally everything about each type of coverage, and line matchup. different gaps. responsibilities. it's like a nerdy fans wet dream haha
Football was a different game In Bradshaw’s time. Bradshaw is great.
Yeah...Better...🏈🏈🏈
Juan Alvarez Yeah Mel Blount would hit receivers so hard and all over the field that they changed the rules to defend the receivers at 5yards hits only and let’s not forget the head slapping is gone.Steeler defense made the NFL change rules to help the offense.

Ken Stabler is in the Hall of Fame, Boomer Esiason played terrible in the Super Bowl when it mattered the most A lot of quarterback play when there’s no pressure or the game is just a regular season it matters the most in the playoffs when the pressure is on , like when Ed too tall Jones is coming to take your head off and is allowed to hit you after you’ve thrown the ball three seconds later, or a wide receiver running on the field can have his head taken off at any moment which was completely legal at the time, looking at the numbers of the 70s compared to the numbers of the 2000s is completely irrelevant being that it’s a different passing game and a softer game, although still violent it is not even close
@Walter White Terry Bradshaw is one of 3 QBs drafted first overall to end up in Canton, Ohio, the other 2 are John Elway and Troy Aikman, he is the last player to win back to back Super Bowl MVPs and he did that 40 years ago, he owns one of the highest career SB passer ratings, but most importantly, when the game was on the line in the biggest game late in the year, late in the game, he was flat out money, in Super Bowls 9, 10 and 13, he threw 8TDs for 320 yards, that's 40 yards per TD, his WRs(Swann and Stallworth) own the highest and 3rd highest yards per reception in SB history, he is the only QB in SB history to average more than 10 yards per completion and you don't know a fucking thing about pro football history, nada, nil, zilch
@Walter White That defense allowed 71 points in 4 Super Bowl wins...the MVP of those games...the QB...the QB...his WR...his RB, here endeth the lesson
Terry Bradshaw needs to be on every shows !
Defense in Bradshaw's era was a whole different animal. The modern Patriots versus the Steel Curtain? Better have a lot of paramedics on the sidelines.
Ain't that the truth!!!!
Here we go Steelers, Here we go!
Put dresses on them
By what set of rules terry era or Brady's
And play with the pte 78 rules!
“Hell ya!” The Emergency room will be full with a lot of Patriot players! Especially T.B. With a concussion!
Over the years I have defended him being listed in the top five. He did more in less time than most of the list. The dude was great.
Yea He was really good and a big game QB at that. Funny thing is if he were playing today the way he struggled his first 5 years in the league the Steelers probably would have got rid of him. Good thing they didn't change Coaches and start rebuilding. They were able to keep so many of there players back then as well from year to year because you didn't have to worry about free agency.
@@curtismcneil8695 The Steelers are the same way today. They are patient with coaches.
Nothing but respect for MY TB12.
I will never say there is a greater quarterback than Terry Bradshaw!!!! He is the greatest!
I grew up in the burg....loved watching him play and he is even better post playing career....he is a gem on TV
Those Steelers were the greatest team in NFL history. Period
I agree and its not because i have been a fan my whole life i was born there so they will always be my home team and its not because of the win loss record its because they assembled the perfect team each position complimented the other positions and it truly was a "TEAM" they all focused on the goal not themselves they played hurt or sick because the TEAM needed them Dwight White played most of a super bowl and by his own admission doesn't remember most of the game,you just don't find that in players of today,they are just too over regulated and coddled
4-0 in the big game!! Calling his own plays!!
Holy crap don't say that to a modern day QB they won't be able to function hahaha
I just wanted to say.....I'm a life long, born and raised diehard Browns fan and I love Terry Bradshaw. I didn't love him when he was beating my Browns but I was tuning in to every other game he played. I respect greatness and those Steelers teams were the greatest and Bradshaw led the way. He also had the best arm i've ever seen, only Elway comes close in arm strength.
Bradshaw has carved out a very lucrative career for himself AFTER football. I enjoy his solid contributions every Sunday. 🥴
I'd put Terry in the top 3 qbs of all time, he's number 1 all time
LOL .... Forgetting someone? TOM BRADY
awesome . bradshaw is real af.
btw. that hot Zone Joke 😂😂😂
The greatest defense of all time the steel curtain baby.
They were loaded.
Yeah, I commented somewhere else that with Brady's mobility as it is, he wouldn't last 5 years in the league at that time. That's why I believe you can't have a true "GOAT" because the game itself has changed so much.
Ask the Vikings, 17yds on 21 attempts, hell, ask the Raiders...Here we go Steelers, Here we go!!!
That steeler D in 78, i think shut out 5 teams, tough to beat
Bill Barone you are thinking of the ‘76 team
Bradshaw is a funny man...
I loved Terry and he was my quarterback back in the 70's when I first started watching football. Dallas had beatin by beloved Broncos in the Super Bowl and the following year it was Dallas again in the Super Bowl this time against the Steelers. It was the first Super Bowl that I ever watch 79' and was probably the most exciting because the game was high scoring in the 30's and it went down to the last play and whoever scored last won, which the Steelers did.
I still consider that the best SB, then the NE-Seattle SB, because in both cases it was the two best teams to play in a SB in a decade, and both games were electric. That SB 13 was the greatest collection of HOF players and coaches in history, to this day, and the game was electric; never to be forgotten. It was like Frazier-Ali, the Boys were obnoxious and thank god they lost!
❤️Terry .....one of the Greatest .....
That's what I always said the ring always speak . Terry Bradshaw is the man
Never saw Bradshaw or Montana point fingers.
Terry Bradshaw has helped me understand the Game of football more than anyone else...he's a great teacher..
Someine posted on FB who would be your dream date and i said Terry Bradshaw....they said what?? I said he's funny ..i loved the book he wrote about his life...never laughed so hard reading a book in my life and I devour books...he can sing and play the guitar... he raises prize quarter horses...i could ride with him on the date..I would love it because of how much fun he would be And laughter is is close to being in heaven...and he's a God fearing man!
Terry called his own plays. Theres something to be said for that....
HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY TERRY BRADSHAW !!!
As a Patriots fan for over 40 years, I have always respected Terry Bradshaw. Always thought he was different from the finesse QB's who threw it all over the place. Seem him more as a blue collar worker, a tough player.
At the end of the day, Bradshaw is right. When he puts his rings on the table with the Montanas, the Aikmans, the Mannings, the Bradys, the Elways, the Favres, he is not outclassed by any of these guys, including Brady, and if all that the teams play for is that Super Bowl victory at the very end), all the passing records in the world don't make a difference if your TEAM never won the big game (cough, cough,
Dan Marino). And this is coming from a Dolphin fan).
To compare the teams of today to those of yesterday there is a BIG DIFFERENCE. Those of Montana, Bradshaw etc were done without free agency, Brady has had to use different receivers, different O lines etc and that makes a huge difference.
Terry Bradshaw is a good shit. I like that guy. "my rings make a lot of noise"
lol
They do not make them like Terry any more.
Terry is right. I see guys who have never played football talking football term. for the record I played 3 years varsity and 4 out of 5 years in college.
Wagner27 William That's 4 more years of college football than Belichick played... so by your logic Belichick must not know football. Lacrosse was his main sport.
Fact is NFL GMs and coaches draft busts all the time. Mike Ditka is a HOF player who traded away a franchise to get Ricky Williams.
An opinion is either true or false on its own merits not on the credentials of the person opining.
If you have never played the sport how can you comment accurately?
When I hear some jocksniffer aka a sports media actor talking about football and they have never had to execute a football skill in live conditions I question their ability to arrive at a factual opinion.
I for example have never competed in rhythmic gymnastics while Katie Nolan has and at a high level therefore any opinion I might have on the sport is solely a guess ony part..
Wagner27 William I'm just going to mute you.
I could not care less about your glory days as a Div III walk on.
Terry Bradshaw called Manziel the best QB in the 2014 NFL draft and didn't like Derek Carr ironically because he claimed Carr held the ball.
I have never seen any player I was more sure would be a bust than Manziel. He had the best protection I've ever seen at any level of football and threw lobs to receivers of NFL caliber including Mike Evans. His game had zero translation to the NFL.
Merril Hoge is the only analyst I am aware of that called Manziel a future bust and he was adamant about that. Kurt Warner is another Super Bowl winning QB who called Manziel the best QB in the draft.
Point is I make my own opinions as a casual NFL fan who never played football past high school.
I've noticed blowhards like you are usually idiots... I bet you were a huge Manziel supporter haha.
porterhouse division II and on full scholarship. I knew Johnny football would not amount to much because is he played in uptempo spread passing offense which has the QB make half field reads and throw to a spot as a result Johnny football has stats which were grossly exaggerated.
Look at Jeff Geoff, he played in the same style system as Johnny and he is so far from being an nfl QB. it is not funny.
look at Carson wentz. He played in a multiple pro style offense which blended under center and shotgun in college and he came ready to play. Then again, his head coach was a pro QB as well.
You know when is the best time to worry about the draft? That would be the day after it is over. So until that day I do not expend an.ounce of energy on the NFL draft. Mel Kiper has like a 15% accuracy rate at pick picks. If it was not for the MSNBC of sports televising the draft to get a ratings bump in May you would see less interest.
porterhouse
if you thought Manziel.had the best protection in football then you are a idiot and your input in football should NEVER be taken serious.
Love you Bradshaw
Katie is such a gentle soul (and total goofball).
As Belichick says, "stats are for losers". The Steelers played a game that made sense for their strengths and the era, Terry's big arm, and great downfield receivers a perfect complement to a great defense and the Harris running game. Nobody was using the short passing game for a high efficiency offense yet.
Class act, TB.
People need to understand how different the league was back then. Bradshaw's first year he threw 6 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. Not taking anything away from him just saying the game has changed tremendously since that time.
I grew up with Joe Cool. Seen Bradshaw in Hooper & Cannon Ball Run. Bought his book I Called My Own Plays. I will always say Joe Cool but at the 8:40 mark when Bradshaw said lets break out the rings that aint no joke. The naysayers can dog him all they want but the rings make noise being dropped on the table like he said
His Steelers , hello the Steelers would clip the Patriots.
The first problem with anybody, male or female, who is attempting to make a living as any kind of speaker, is this. If you say “like” every other word, you don’t belong on TV or in front of any audience.
I would love to have the gum katie
Bradshaw was not the greatest QB, but he was on one of the greatest teams. One of the greatest defenses, and they had a tough run game. And he made the big plays when he had to.
Terry never criticized a player.....wow ! No wonder he and the steelers were great.
That gum went into the first mens bathroom he used :)
Nick Wright needs to borrow some of Greg Jennings' beard.
Easy chucks steelers would kill these guys. They never lost a superbowl. And that steelers defense would kill Brady
Steelers doesn't need to cheat to get those rings!
The players back in the 1970's and 80's did everything to injure or knock out the quarterbacks or star players out of the game. players could get away with body slamming the quarterbacks on their heads and knocking them out of the game for good. the average quarterback lasted 13/14 years.The protection on quarterbacks today is given them longer careers.The Steelers back in the 1970's could had had 5-6 super bowl championships if it wasn't for injuries and the teams raiders and miami were almost as good as the steelers alway tough competion throughout playoffs
Yeah...can you imagine what the Steelers could have done with the rules the way they are now? And with Brady's mobility, I don't think he lasts 5 years. He'd be destroyed.
Don’t make me laugh at the comparison; #1 Brady 664 Career & Playoff TD Passes, #38 Bradshaw 242 Career & Playoff TD Passes!
ALWAYS LIKED TERRY !
Hey Katie, love your show but maybe give your panel some time to get into the segment. For 50% of the time I thought there were only two of you on the set.
Who is the host?
Bradshaw for the win!
Terry is awesome!
Terry is the man!
Terry Bradshaw is also very accurate about Mike Tomlin not being a good coach for the Steelers...stating that the Steelers lack discipline, they're not prepared all the time, and it starts with the HC. Also he feels Tomlin talks to much about other teams, showing disrespect, when Tomlin should just keep his mouth shut. Bradshaw has stated that Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher never did that, and that all of those teams were disciplined. Due to Tomlin running his mouth, many of the players run their mouth as, and so doesn't assistant coach, Joey Porter..if Porter was a coach on any other team, he would have been FIRED by now. Many Steeler fans want Tomlin FIRED...but the Rooney's want do it. The Steelers won the SB in '08, with Cowher's players, and due to great plays by the players. The difference in that SB, was James Harrison's PICKSIX for 100 yds.
We don't see "real football" today. Maybe just a mild form of it. The future does not look bright either. Seems to get watered down more and more as the years go by.
I remember when I was living with a gal. During our first football season together, she would ask what was going on. I don't claim to be an expert by any means but I tried to at least give her an idea on the basics. After a while, I at least made it so she wouldn't sit there bored from confusion. Her main reason for watching? She liked watching the guys bent over in the huddle.
If they played by the rules of Bradshaws time, Princess Tommy wouldn't last a series........he's soft.
Bradys soft really I know football changed but you need to look at the way people hit Brady any played every game besides one injury and suspension
If you think hes a princess you dont know I know football was tough back then but the players got bigge and stronger as the years went on c'mon these guys now are beasts steroids or not lol
@@keithdoherty7396
Bullshit. Jack Lambert said it years ago. Put them in tutus. Ya can't touch Thomasina without getting flagged. My guess is he flops without Belichik.
Football is for sure too complicated for us fans. We really have no idea whats going on or the strategy behind everything. We like to tell ourselves we have a feel for the game, but it's fools gold
Nate Zeller Well we know you are a fool!
Speak for your self.
Whatever happened to Katie Nolan? I really do like her approach to sports journalism.
"Hot Zone" wanted to have Terry's baby...
Are they playing with or without the Mel Blount rule?
Jiddy12345 doesn't matter... look at what pats secondary did to rams in 01 and colts in 03. Look what belichick did to bills receivers in 90. You play without Blount rule you're now playing to belichicks strength
this guy kicks ass
I would take Bradshaw over Tom "Baby" Brady any day! But those Steeler's of back then were better back then offense and especially defense then they are today..
Jack Lambert could easily make mince meat of Tom Brady.
I think Jack Lambert would make mince meat of pretty much any QB.
Oh I'd pay so much to see Lambert play against Brady.
Brady would've met the same fate as he did against the Giants in both Super Bowls.
Terry's advice should be taken to heart by Scott Zolak, former Pats quarterback that broadcasts games on radio. Way too much jargon and techno-speak....which he doesn't explain much, if at all. That said, I like his energy and enthusiasm...
Love to see Brady play under same rules as 1970's or 80's players. Completely different game and most likely a different "Tommy" , too.
Tom Brady wouldn’t last in the 1970’s or 80’s players. Can you imagine Lawrence Taylor sacking Tom Brady. He would snap his leg like he did to Joe Theismann!
Love Bradshaw
Bradshaw's Steelers would have pulverized Brady's Patriots!! The Steel Curtain with Lambert, Blunt, Joe Green. And Swann, Blier and Harris!!! Please!
I've seen both teams at their best in my lifetime. Those Pittsburgh Steelers would beat these Patriots and the others as well, most every time. I doubt the Vikings would be winless in Super Bowls if they could be included in this hypothetical conversation about playing todays Patriots.
Completely agree 100% if you can find a team of people that stay in the prime of their live for 60 years they will absolutely beat a team of normal humans any day of the week.
No, the Vikings would still blow it.
Bradshaw was the GOAT 30 mabe 40 years before Brady even played , lets just say in a Less QB friendly era . Never lost the Big Game . is debatable if Tom Brady even gets 1 Super Bowl then those days . No Brainer here Folks ...Bradshaw Bradshaw Bradshaw !
@Ben Hur ok so.. says the guy trolling a 3 year old youtube video ...Really ? lol IN CAPS EVEN . i feel your pain bro .. just step back from the Pain
@Ben Hur lol i get already your lonesome ? depressed ? Hollywood Henderson ? Roger Stauback ? i hear it takes Decades to overcome the Great Terry Bradshaws Big Game Beat Downs so yeah i feel your Pain ..Carry On .. and on and on But to say TB was the worst ,man your either stupid or lack NFL intel . hell ask Trent Dilfer for 1 ...u do know who he is right ? or mabe even the great Jim Kelly who lost every super bowl he played in (4) . i have to guess your lack of NFL Facts is .. how to say Lacking ?
your just a Bradshaw hater void of any conversation i suspect however keep on Trolling i say you will get there ..Not
@Ben Hur bro he didnt play 14 year your off a tad again bad intel , Terry Bradshaw was the Man . now i know your must have seen the game where the Browns D-Lineman head dunked The Great One Terry Bradshaw . Turkey Joe Jones he spiked Super Brad head first , even you have to admit in todays game that a season long suspension. Imagin after you watch that video and its around ,you probally watch it every 2 hours or should you would love it . check it out your will be so Happy Roger !
@Ben Hur bro he dont deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? ..He is The Hall of Fame . so i guess u did go take a look see at the Joe Jones Video ..and Yes Super brad come back to win the Super Bowl that season and the MVP of the super bowl same year . Terry did have a Great Team he played on no one can disputed that fact just as no one disputes Terry got most of them on offense to the Hall but again Im Biased Terry had Franco he didnt have to sling it Steelers were Run First as you may well know, im sure that while you have many many Fact to support your theory . it was a differnt game in that era then we have now , which was my main Point . you clearly missed that , but i stand by that again im Biased Brady in my opinion would have been perhaps a Fran Tarkenton or Brian Sipe type player in the wild days of the nfl , hell in those days 70k showed for the games todays game hardly draw sellouts any more and is getting worst the rules ,the stoppages, politics the NFL is a Mess now . and to Mention Namath wtf were u thinking my lord bro Joe wasnt all that at all . ya Brady in that era mabe lasts 4 years from the beating the QB took and Bradshaw couldnt even spell CAT ..Hollywood :)
Comparing different eras is ridiculous! Also ridiculous is Bradshaw and Montana never lost a Super Bowl. My response is that they were only great enough to be in 4 of them, not 9 of them like Brady. Since 2001 when Brady started the Patriots had a 64% winning percentage against playoff teams, the Steelers are second with a 45% winning percentage. That's greatness no matter how hard you try to minimize it!
The original TB12, the man got to call his own plays.
Always Loved T.B. & Steelers! T.B. won '4' Super Bowls in '6' yrs. > VERY Different Game & Players Character back then, not comparable to Today's 'Selfie' Protect Self - Push & Shove & Slide & Run out of bounds > AVOID Serious Contact - NO Helmet & Pads as a Weapon (noting like the 60's 70's & 80's!) TOTALLY DIFFERENT RULES & REFS!!!
Like basketball, different era's, different rules
we miss you katie
24 Steelers , including 11 HOF’s won 4 SB’s in 6 years, back to back twice. End of discussion. No NFL dynasty comes close to those #’s.
Don't forget 3 coaches in 54 years that speaks volumes about the entire organization top to bottom
Always Loved T.B. & Steelers! Raiders & Steelers won 7 Super Bowls in 10 yrs. > VERY VERY Different Game & Players Character back then, not even comparable to Today's 'Selfie' Protect Self - Push & Shove & Slide & Run out of bounds > AVOID Serious Contact - NO Helmet & Pads as a Weapon (noting like the 60's & 70's & 80's!) TOTALLY DIFFERENT RULES & REFS!!!
Terry Bradshaw's wife at home watching this and having heart attack symptoms. She must be dying by watching Katie Nolan next to terry lol
Players are bigger, faster, stronger now than ever before. The offensive line of the Pats probably weighs 50lbs more per man that the old Steelers. jack Lambert played at barely 200 lbs. Linebackers now can weigh 250. It's a different game today.
Bradshaw, Montana, Elway, Aikman - all tough. The NFL's cash cow needed $. Fantasy ( WTF) fantasy has protected the QB in a way that these 4 never had. Brady would have had a early exit if the rules would have stayed the same. Keep the same rules and eliminate the cheating from the organization - 2 Superbowls at best. Bradshaw was a great quarterback on one of the best teams ever.
Wow Katie controls the show so good. She is so quick with her responses and she leads where the show goes.
@horse, wow you need glasses, she's annoying af and terry had to go easy on her, he led the show or would have crashed
Is THAT why I'd rather listen to the radio THAN listen to the tv?
NE would suffer several injuries in that match up those Steelers were Mean .
J SIMM they were nothing compared to today's players
Bring a stretcher snotty boy 👦
@4:21....HI-YO!
what she said at 11:50?
inside the 20 yard line
I would have to say Terry Bradshaw is a better quarterback you could almost take a quarterbacks head off back in the 70s when Terry played and I would have to say this Tom Brady get special treatment you can’t even tap him in the back without the yellow flag being thrown hands down Terry Bradshaw he earn his four Super Bowls
What did she say @ 11:44?
“Best texter in the world” As far as I could tell...
and let's just roll the rings on the table....
How many rings would Terry have if he played for the Saints? The same as Archie Manning. Zero. Rings are overrated. Terry played with 7 HOFers.
Dave Choate I have your Jerry Rice and Steve Young drawing on my wall.
He actually played with 8 HOFers and HOF coach and owner, but he is also the first QB drafted 1st overall to get elected into the HOF, he got drafted by the worst team in football that had never won 1 playoff game ever, how many titles would Brady not have if that moronic Tuck rule didn't aid Brady, or if Seattle runs the ball at the 1 or Atlanta doesn't choke in the 4th quarter, we can play that if game too
Dave --- I am a died hard Steelers fan, ever since 1969, but I agree, If Bradshaw was with the Saints he would have zero Rings, & if A. Manning played with the Steelers they would probably have won even more Rings, or Montana or any other more consistent QB. BUT WHAT A TEAM in the seventies.
Dave --- It wasn't Bradshaw that made the team great, it was the team the made Bradshaw great. I mean he through 3 interceptions in SB 14, but his defense kept them in the game. He was a clutch player in big games, most of the time. But I remember a playoff game against the Raiders that the Steelers lost, & the Raiders went on to win the SB. In that game both starting running backs were out of that game, that was the year that is considered the greatest Steelers defense of all time, with so many shutouts, yet Bradshaw could not carry the team on his back. Their was a lot of injuries that season on offense, including Bradshaw, but supposedly he was heathy for the playoff game.
With Simmons gone, Katie is our best
Tom Brady is a great quarterback but I say Terry Bradshaw is the better. He was drafted by the Steelers who sucked for the previous 60 years and was only in one playoff game. His first years were miserable. Brady walked on to a great superbowl ready team. Bradshaw played a rougher game when they ALLOWED you to hit the quarterback and drive him into the ground. He also ran the ball head on into defenders. There's no way Brady could handle that punishment. Bradshaw took the hard road. He started at the bottom and went through rough years. If Bradshaw had the opportunity of being drafted by a superbowl ready team like Pats and started at the top, he may have won 8 superbowls. Dont forget Bob Griese, the 72 Dolphins and the perfect season. The so called GOAT Tom Brady cant touch that.
Nick Hlawka Andy played for next to no money. I believe his rookie year he signed on for $24,000 a year. I believe back then the money wasn't the important thing it was winning
The first DYNASTY
Big Dick Buckus the game was much rougher the old steel curtain and Terry fricking Bradshaw how many can say they were on Al Bundys show lol
