Calls grow for Terry Bradshaw to retire after latest Fox NFL Sunday incident

Calls for Terry Bradshaw's retirement have intensified following an awkward incident on Fox NFL Sunday, where the veteran analyst spilled coffee on host Curt Menefee and then appeared to blame him for the mishap. Bradshaw was previewing a Denver Broncos vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup when he became animated while discussing Denver's comeback the previous week.

During the segment, he knocked over a coffee cup, spilling it onto Menefee as he attempted to clean up the mess. Menefee left the studio briefly to deal with the spill, returning only after Bradshaw continued his analysis. When the incident was brought up, Bradshaw claimed, "I did not do that," pointing at Menefee and insisting he had pulled the cup, exclaiming, "How did I knock the coffee over on myself?"

The exchange quickly went viral, with fans questioning whether Bradshaw should continue on the program. Some critics called out Bradshaw's poor commentary skills, while others suggested FOX consider replacing him with Tony Romo, who recently left CBS Sports after nine years as its lead NFL analyst. Fans were also unimpressed by Bradshaw's take on the game, with remarks like, "It's actually sad that they roll him out there every week" and "Time for new blood.

Menefee is good. Rest are terrible." The veteran, a four-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been a part of Fox NFL Sunday since 1994 and remains one of the programme's longest-serving personalities. Despite his age, Bradshaw shows no signs of retirement, even sharing his desire to work through Fox's 2029 Super Bowl broadcast, when he will turn 80 years old.
