NFL fans are urging Terry Bradshaw to consider retiring from his broadcasting positions.
Bradshaw is a member of Fox NFL Sunday and hosts the pregame and halftime shows for Thursday Night Football.

While Bradshaw is a beloved member of the NFL media, he is growing more prone to mistakes during his recent appearances.
At 76 years old, Bradshaw often mistakes players names or stats, and fumbles his delivery of lines at times.
On Sunday, Bradshaw started breaking down a matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, but Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans highlights were playing.
It took a few moments for Bradshaw to realize he was speaking about the wrong game.
“Whoops, wrong one,” he said.
Curt Menefee quickly swooped in to take over the analysis after Bradshaw slipped up.
Fans were quick to get on Bradshaw’s case after that mistake, calling for him to step down from the show.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has been open about losing his job on Fox NFL Sunday, saying last week that he hopes the time never comes.
“When that time comes, when they say to me, ‘Happy Trails,’ oh man, you want to say that’s never going to happen,” he said.
It could be coming sooner rather than later though, as Bradshaw has dealt with health issues in recent years.
Last NFL season he was meant to be on Fox’s coverage of the NFC Championship game but was absent with an illness.
Two years before he was diagnosed with cancer and had to miss time with that disease.
“I ran out of breath and Howie [Long] helped me off and a lot of people have asked what’s wrong with me, what’s happened to me physically and I just want to address it and let you know what has happened in my life,” Bradshaw said in 2022.
“In November (2021), I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I went to the Yale University Medical Center for treatment and as of today, I am bladder cancer free.
“All right, that’s the good news.”

Bradshaw is healthy and cancer-free today, but fans still think it may be time for him to enjoy retirement.
“Terry Bradshaw having too many senior moments during halftime update of Lions-Vikings game,” one fan said.
“What FOX does to Terry Bradshaw every week is despicable,” another fan said.
“At some point we’re going to have to consider Terry Bradshaw doing the rapid halftime reports as elderly abuse,” a third fan said.
“Get Terry Bradshaw off of television,” a fourth fan said.
