Bradshaw’s Surprise Throw and On-Air Clash with Rob Gronkowski
So, let me walk you through this wild bit of NFL entertainment that unfolded recently — because it felt like one of those moments where live TV becomes its own kind of sport.
It all started when Terry Bradshaw made his return to Fox NFL Sunday after missing the previous week due to illness. Fans were already glad to see him back, but nobody expected what he pulled off on set. While breaking down Dak Prescott’s impressive touchdown pass from the Cowboys’ Week 11 win over the Raiders, Bradshaw didn’t just talk through the play — he decided to demonstrate it. And yes, that included launching an actual football across the studio.

He explained how Prescott created space in the end zone by holding the safety with his eyes, saying, “I’m holding the safety, then I turn and fire it in there.” And right after that, Bradshaw, who’s 77 by the way, whipped a pinpoint throw straight to Rob Gronkowski. Fans lit up social media immediately, praising the moment and joking about the “technology” and the nostalgia of seeing Bradshaw sling it like the old days. It wasn’t too shocking, considering the guy led the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl titles, but still — seeing him make that throw at his age was a treat.
At the same time, Gronkowski has been in the headlines for another reason: he officially retired again, signing a symbolic one-day contract with the New England Patriots to close the book on his career where it started. So having him on set for Bradshaw’s throw made the moment feel even more symbolic — almost like one legend passing the ball to another.
But the real spark came a little later during a completely different discussion. Bradshaw and Gronk found themselves in a heated on-air exchange when the topic shifted to the Carolina Panthers’ inconsistency this season. Gronk didn’t hold back, saying he wasn’t a believer in the team. Bradshaw fired back instantly, telling him he “ought to be ashamed” and hinting at a time Gronk supposedly played on a struggling team. That didn’t sit well with Gronk at all — especially since he’s never had a losing season in his career — and he pressed Bradshaw to explain what he meant. Bradshaw never clarified, and the exchange turned into a comedic yet tense back-and-forth before the show moved on.
The whole situation highlighted how split even veteran analysts are about the Panthers right now. They’re sitting at 6-5, talented enough to keep things interesting but inconsistent enough to frustrate fans and experts alike. And with a tough matchup against the 49ers coming up, the debate is only getting louder.
So between Bradshaw’s surprise spiral, Gronk’s second retirement, and their on-air clash, it’s been quite the week in NFL media — the kind where football analysis meets pure entertainment, and nobody’s quite sure what moment will go viral next.
