Terry Bradshaw

I can't run anymore. That's the one thing I loved doing. And I can't play golf hardly at all because of wrist and back pain.

Most athletes, we're the good ol' boys, part of the good-ol'-boy fraternity, and we take care of our brothers, and we cover up the bad habit and the bad play.

We can't talk about Jesus. We can't mention that anymore.

What does that mean - you're religious? Everybody is religious.

All you got to do is look around. This country's getting worse and worse and more and more immoral, and we're rotting from within.

I have more of an identity with Cowher than I do Tomlin. I knew Cowher when he came over from Kansas City as a defensive coordinator, and his teams were tough. Tomlin came in from Minnesota, and I didn't know anything about him. So maybe it's unfair for me to make the comparison.

I am a man that loves the flag.

The First Amendment rights, everybody has them.

I've never had a problem with people expressing themselves. It's one thing great about our country.

I found out that superstars Winkler and William Shatner are real people, and I was so thankful for that.

When I started as a color man in the booth with CBS, I would make footballs out of a roll of toilet paper.

All my football injuries now have arthritis in them.

I'm not afraid of being fired, and I'm gonna speak my mind.

I'm a big card guy. I play Rook, Liverpool Rummy - love that. I play Pac-Man, shoot pool.

I really started to forget things. That's why I quit reciting statistics: because I couldn't remember them exactly, and I stayed away from mentioning some players by name because I really wasn't sure, and I didn't want to make a mistake.

It was driving me crazy that I couldn't remember something that I studied the night before. All it did was trigger my anxiety, and all of sudden everything would snowball on me.

The memory loss made me jittery at times.

I have always felt like a fish in water with football, Fox, speeches, riding horses, and raising cattle.

I have been playing football since I was 7.

Going out to play a game in front of 100,000 spectators doesn't worry me. Nothing to it.

For an athlete, there's no time off... until it's over.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

I'm just in an unfortunate business where if you ask me a question I have to answer it honestly and if I don't answer it truthfully then I'm not respected.

You find out in life that people really like you funny. So what do you give 'em? Humor. And then if you show them the other side, they don't like you as much. I find, too, that I can hide behind the idiot's mask being funny, and you never see the sorrow or the pain.

Forget politics and what their platforms were and everything, because you can take whoever you want to take, but the guy that I liked was Nixon... He was a smart man.

I've been bashed my whole career.

I'm not a one-liner guy. I'm a story guy.

I know how much my late center Mike Webster suffered. I can only imagine what a lot of defensive players from my era are going through.

You don't know how many times I was in the huddle, asking my teammates to help me call a play.

I'm learning how to prevent my brain from getting worse than it is after suffering a career worth of concussions playing football.

Lawsuits make you care. I think the PR makes you care. But personally, when I got out in 1983, do I think they cared about me? No.

Football is an awesome sport, but it's also a violent sport, and that's why all of us love it. We know what we checked in for, and at seven years of age, that's what I wanted to do with my life, and I didn't care that I got hurt.

I wasn't that close to any of my teammates. I didn't find anyone to become a best friend. We don't stay in touch. They're all over the country, but I do not want to stay in touch.

If I moved back, my mother would love for me to move in because she absolutely loves her boys. 12 boys. She showers all of us. Would be no problem. She would love to have us back in the house.

I was thinking, mothers show their love for their sons so much greater than dads do.

I did an album called 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.' I sang the song on 'Hee Haw.'

I don't like confrontation.

Washington, D.C., is one of my favorite cities.

If I could reach down in my heart, I would say I'm sorry for every unkind word and thought I ever had.

I miss my coach. I love my coach. I miss Chuck Noll.

That's one of the problems as a Christian, is that we have to deal with our failures and the shame of it all.

Just everything that I've done, everything that I do, is to this day, all major decisions are all through prayer - all my actions, although a sinner, but you know what? I'm cool with that.

I know me, and I know my heart. I know what the Lord expects. I know what a Christian's supposed to act like, but you can't act it.

I've always took care of myself.

I lose stuff. I forget stuff. I walk into rooms and go, 'Why am I in here? What did I come in here for?' Is that normal? I'm 65. I don't know.

I got tested to see what condition my brain is in. And it's not in real good shape.

I was frustrated I couldn't remember stuff, and I got real upset. It was driving me nuts.

I would not put Dak Prescott on the bench. I would leave him as the starter, and I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.

I don't have hair anymore. I've shrunk. I'm barely 6 feet 2 inches. I just had my teeth fixed because I'm a grinder.

You can't dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience, though. Sometimes it hurts like hell.
