Talk:Terry Bradshaw

message: The article says Shreveport. Well, local legend of Sparta, Tennessee says he was born and raised here, and moved to Louisiana sometime in his early teens. We have a house that is known as the "Bradshaw House" where he supposedly lived, he is recalled by many locals (or so they say), and he has many claimed relatives among our populace.
Can anybody clear this mystery up? Any solid link to a Bradshaw Shreveport birth?
:His bio in the NFL Hall of Fame website confirms a Shreveport birth: .  That's not proof positive, but I'd have to say that it outranks local legend. JamesMLane 05:17, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I added a short paragraph about his entering NASCAR as an owner in FitzBradshaw Racing. The article had no mention of his racing involvment. He sure does a lot! This should probably be expanded with a few more sentences.--edgester 19:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

message: Good evening,
I am neither a Bradshaw biographer nor a registered Wikipedia contributer, though it is all too clear that someone has maliciously vandalized Mr. Bradshaw's entry.  The section regarding his collegiate career was apparently modified by a somewhat immature individual who is less than a fan of the subject.  I would gladly revise the segment personally, though I am far from being sufficiently informed on the matter.
Admittedly, I am a life-long Steelers fan, and thus a Bradshaw partisan, but regardless of anyone's team/city allegiance, I appreciate referencing Wikipedia as a legitimate source of information.  If someone with greater familiarity with either Mr. Bradshaw's career, or even with Wikipedia's policies, has a spare moment, I would greatly appreciate their efforts to correct this.
Many thanks in advance.

thread_title:  Blatant vandalism 

message: Wow...uh, apologies for the unnecessary posting.  Between my finding the 'Discussion' page, finishing my comment, and looking back to the original article again, someone had already seen to restoring the legitimate text.  The Wiki community really is on top of things.
Thanks again to whomever noticed the glaring abuse as well, and for taking the initiative to remedy it.

message: When you get old & things are not kept in front of you as they were when you lived in the area, things tend to get fuzzy.  I just happened upon this article & read it with interest but I respectfully disagree with the article where it stated that Bradshaw lost to the Sulphur Golden Tors.  I was a sophomore at Sulphur High School and was at that game.  Our sophomore quarterback (Lester Saucier) outperformed Bradshaw during that game but, if memory serves me correctly, came away as the loser.  I seem to remember that the score is accurate but am not certain of that either.  Could someone verify this information for me?  I will try to do some research by searching through some of my high school memorabilia.

message: Do we need a 2 paragraphs about his belief in God? 
"As he acknowledged in his first autobiography, Man of Steel, by 1974 Bradshaw felt like he was bottoming out. His first marriage to Melissa Babich had failed, his shoulder had been injured, and he was often sullen and depressed. The turnaround came when, according to his memoir, Bradshaw, already a born-again Christian, had a revelation: "I had separated myself from God. I lived only for Terry Bradshaw, not for God. I tried to be one of the boys and went to every honky-tonk I could find and chased women and behaved in a way that was totally alien to anything I had ever known before … my whole life was out of control … I was trying to be someone else and was doing a rotten job of it."
What happened to Bradshaw amounted to a second "conversion" experience. "I just put my head in my hands and began to cry and tremble all over and finally I blurted out, 'Here I am, God. I've tried to handle it all by myself and I just can't get the job done. So I'm placing my life in Your hands. I need some peace of mind and I know You can give it to me.'" The quarterback recalls feeling suddenly "stronger mentally and physically.… Being a starting quarterback didn't matter.… What mattered was that I was myself again and I was determined to stay that way." "
Just sounds like whoever posted this had ulterior motives to throw that in.71.169.75.73 (talk) 23:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Terry Bradshaw briefly had a daytime talk show on FOX in the late '90s. I can't remember what it was called. But it is notable. Jennifer Love Hewitt was a guest on the show and I fell in love with her right then and there. So can anyone help out with this? Belasted (talk) 22:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  He had a talkshow 

message: Seems to be absent except for a short paragraph near the top. There's more about his personal life and what he did after football then his career itself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.183.244.217 (talk) 21:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bradshaw's NFL career 

message: The following line currently appears at the end of the lead/introduction: "Bradshaw is now suffering from short-term memory loss, which he attributes to his experiences as a pro football player.[1][2]" This may indeed be important enough to be included upfront as it is, but there is no further mention of it in the article's body text so i think that it should be added and expanded upon somewhere appropriate. I don't have time right now to do it but I hope someone else does. Thanks. El duderino (talk) 23:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
