That\u2019d be huge. Not only that, it\u2019d be a huge carryover. All the networks would be saying that Bradshaw died on the Fox NFL show. Can you imagine the huge stuff? And maybe I get a statue out front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to do it, if I keep my health together, I love what I\u2019m doing,\u201d Bradshaw then said, \u201cBut we all get old.

We\u2019re gonna have some fun. We\u2019re gonna keep it simple. We\u2019re gonna have a good visit today. That\u2019s television. The quicker he can learn that, and relax [the better he\u2019ll be].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bradshaw responded on October 2, to those who denigrated him because he appeared out of breath during the week prior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t breathe,\u201d He thought about it. \u201cThat\u2019s when everybody notices. \u2018What\u2019s wrong with him?\u2019 Social media went, \u2018Get rid of him. He needs to be off the air. He\u2019s an embarrassment.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Embarrassment? I got cancer.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t talk about it because I didn\u2019t want pity,\u201d Bradshaw said on NBC\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/exclusive-terry-bradshaw-waited-year-publicly-share-cancer-diagnoses-rcna55132\">Today<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t talk about it because a lot of celebrities \u2014\u00a0unfortunately, I\u2019m one of those \u2014\u00a0when they say this, I think the perception around America with all the millions of people is, \u2018Aw, look at him. Bless his heart. He has cancer. Well, my husband died of cancer! My kids are\u2026\u2019 I didn\u2019t want that. It took a long time before I told my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t scared,\u201d Bradshaw told NBC\u2019s Harry Smith of the initial diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally?\u201d Smith responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. You know what, Harry? I don\u2019t know why; I never was scared,\u201d Bradshaw replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, you\u2019re Terry Bradshaw. You\u2019re bigger than life,\u201d Smith relayed his thoughts to Smith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, cancer didn\u2019t think so,\u201d Bradshaw laughed. \u201cI don\u2019t think cancer cares. Listen, cancer shows no favoritism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bradshaw declared that his Christian faith was the reason he was able to overcome the disease. \u201cAs a man of faith, as a Christian, my attitude was, well, if I go, I\u2019m okay. If I stay, I\u2019m okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before he started experiencing symptoms, he had been treated for bladder cancer. \u201cnerve pain in my neck and my shoulder.\u201d He thought, \u201cI have injured my neck before, so this is not uncommon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bradshaw was required to remove a tumor that had been discovered. He admitted that he kept the news from his family at first. Bradshaw praised his wife, saying: \u201cI can\u2019t put into words how thankful I am for her. Seriously. I can\u2019t imagine not holding her hand when we take off on a plane or when we land\u00a0or when we snuggle up when we\u2019re in bed together. I look at her and she doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m looking at her, and I\u2019m so thankful now I\u2019m getting emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who has suffered from bladder cancer and a Merkel cell tumor, broke up reporters covering the Super Bowl by joking about dying live on air.
