The right hand that helped Terry Bradshaw become a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame left fans feeling nervous about the Fox Sports host following the Lombardi Trophy presentation at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in New Orleans.
The 76-year-old Louisiana native appeared jittery while holding a microphone for his post-game interview with game MVP and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Jalen Hurts.
Many fans were left wondering on social media why ‘Bradshaw’s hand is shaking,’ or if the movements could be described as ‘tremors.’
The vast majority of viewers simply expressed concern for the four-time Super Bowl winner and Pittsburgh Steelers legend.
‘Hope Terry Bradshaw is well,’ one fan wrote. ‘Lots of hand tremors.’
‘The way Terry Bradshaw’s hand is shaking during this interview has me realizing we’re at the end… of a certain era of NFL broadcasting,’ another added.

One suggested that ‘this is a good time for Terry Bradshaw to end on a high note,’ adding: ‘Time for official retirement.’
Bradshaw has recently discussed his plans for retirement, which aren’t quite imminent.
When asked by Mirror US Sports when he plans to retire, Bradshaw said he’s targeting the Super Bowl in 2029.
Bradshaw also confessed he has two more years in his contract with Fox but hopes to work through Super Bowl LXIII at 80 before hanging the mic up for good.
‘I told my wife before I left the room a while ago, I’m sitting there… I said, ”I’ve got two years left at Fox,’ said Bradshaw, who typically works in the Fox studio alongside Rob Gronkowski and Michael Strahan. ”I’m 76. Okay, so it’s a young man’s game. I get that.’ Everybody wants the new.’
Bradshaw has come under pressure from viewers to retire in recent years but has remained adamant about staying on the air in the face of criticism. At one point, Bradshaw joked about wanting to die while on air.
‘I told FOX: ‘If I could just die on the show, think about the ratings, right? Are we not about ratings? That’d be huge. Not only that, there would be a huge carryover,’ he said to Denver Sports 104.3.
‘Then all the networks would be saying ‘Bradshaw died on FOX NFL Sunday. Huge stuff, and then maybe I get a statue out front. But if I can keep my health together, I love what I’m doing. But we all get old and we’re going to get kicked out. I’m not looking over my shoulder, but [Tom] Brady is coming in for $37.5million.’
Bradshaw chose his words poorly earlier this year when he called for the Cleveland Browns to ‘put down’ struggling quarterback Deshaun Watson at one point, while viewers have also accused him of ‘slurring’ his words.
His on-screen career dates back to 1980 during a two-year stint with CBS as a commentator. He had his breakthrough in 1994 when he was hired by Fox.
