When you’re a four-time Super Bowl champ, you have probably handled pressure in some wild ways. That’s how Terry Bradshaw showed up in wrinkled pants, airport socks, and a golf shirt, but not because he wanted to make any difference.
The Hall of Famer, fresh off a relaxing Hawaii vacation, walked straight into a wardrobe disaster just hours before his appearance on the To The Point – Home Services Podcast when he arrived home at his ranch. The 76-year-old Fox NFL Sunday veteran had one job: to bring the suit. Except, he didn’t.
“I just came in from Hawaii. … I didn’t know how to dress for this event,” he said.
“So I got a suit and put it in one of these carrier things where you can roll it and zip it up.
“. … We got home from Hawaii, and my wife goes, ‘Where’s the suit?’
“I said, ‘Don’t you have it?’
Bradshaw told the crowd, recalling when he and his wife, Tammy, realized the suit was missing***.***
“I didn’t have any clothes, and these are the only pants I have.”
Bradshaw didn’t just wing the podcast in his impromptu outfit. He turned the entire ordeal into a story and an appeal for empathy.
His blue shirt? Bought at the airport. The socks? A quick grab from a golf shop. And those pants? Worn for four straight days.
“My wife told me, ‘You’re going to go up there and you’re going to tell these folks everything that you have on is what you’re apologizing for,’” he said.
Despite the chaos, Bradshaw powered through the live podcast appearance in front of a packed audience. He cracked jokes about his situation and Fox’s new contract with Tom Brady.
“Did you see the numbers they did?” he asked the crowd. “126 million people watched the Super Bowl. The pregame alone got 28 million. Who in the world is gonna sit around and watch that mess for five hours?”
He wasn’t done. “I guarantee you, if I go in there and ask for a raise, ‘Well, we don’t have any…we’re running a little tight,’” Bradshaw mimicked. “Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year.”
The four-time Super Bowl champion has been with Fox NFL Sunday since its debut in 1994. Even with his long-standing history, he admitted, “I did some bad deals, that’s what it was.”
The takeaway? When you’re Terry Bradshaw, a missing suit turns into a comedy show, and a sharp reminder that even legends get left holding the (empty) garment bag.
And yes, he’s still looking for that suit.
