He HATED playing football in Pittsburgh. No joke. One of the greatest QBs ever hated his job.

A staggering amount of guys hate playing pro football.

But it’s all a small group of men know how to do to take care of their loved ones and create generational wealth for their families.

Finally he told his feelings to “waddle on over here” and he went on to a successful if not drunken career in broadcasting

Lmfao, I might be the only one, but at least one person understood your reference.

Not uncommon in people with explosive speed to have higher levels of anxiety (including social). Crying when exhausted is very normal

Interesting, never heard of that - any more info on twitch muscle/anxiety links?

I'm not sure which journal, so attached the ASCA link. In fitness coaching they discussed the nervous system and the predispositions to be a better sprinter vs marathoner. Breath training plays a large part in developing athletes too re sympathetic and parasympathetic control. https://www.strengthandconditioning.org/journal

I’ve never heard of this. I’m a pretty fast sprinter and I have anxiety. That’s interesting..

I was too. Kids athletics back then was about gold medals, not practising what we failed at (which pays more dividends) 🤔

TBI?

My first thought too. Could be his brain restarting after three hours of getting his bell rung.

A QB isn’t getting their head rung constantly in a game though sure they might have long term TBI tho

I’d gently push back by saying Bradshaw played in an era with fewer protections for QBs — both according to the rules and with available helmet technology.

Or just plain ol anxiety, if it happened on a regular basis. Not every athlete’s mental health issue comes from brain damage.

Such a shame. Severe anxiety is some of the worst feelings in the world. I can’t imagine how much sensory overload and physical exhaustion he would’ve been feeling on top of the panic.

I too suffer from frequent crying. However I’m not a famous athlete, I’m largely a miserable failure of a human being

He is going to have to get pulled off his spot in TV. There were several times last season that he couldn't keep going through recaps at a decent pace and someone else had to step in and take over.

Numerous micro concussions per game wouldn't help either

There is a rumor that he couldn't spell "Cat" if you gave him the "C" and the "T"

Edit: since most of you are too young or don't follow sports https://newsinteractive.post-gazette.com/thedigs/2017/01/06/can-terry-bradshaw-spell-cat-the-history-of-an-insult/
