There\u2019s 330 million people in America. That is a ton. The Fox pregame show averaged 28 million for five hours. Who in the world is gonna sit around and watch that mess for five hours? 28 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know how much money they made? God. More money than plumbers, I can assure you that. 28 million. And I guarantee you, if I go in there and ask for a raise, \u2018Well, we don\u2019t have any\u2026we\u2019re running a little tight.\u2019 Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I\u2019ll take it. I did some bad deals, that\u2019s what it was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Bradshaw is looking for a raise, he has a pretty good case to make for himself. Fox NFL Sunday has been the <a href=\"https:\/\/awfulannouncing.com\/ratings\/fox-nfl-sunday-31-years-most-watched-pregame-show.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">most-watched NFL pregame show<\/a> for 31 years, and Bradshaw has been featured throughout the entire run. You can also make the argument that more people tune to the pregame show for Bradshaw\u2019s antics than tune to America\u2019s Game of the Week specifically for Brady\u2019s analysis.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say Bradshaw is more valuable than Brady, because nothing is more valuable to Fox than its NFL games. But after more than three decades as one of the most must-see studio analysts on sports TV, Bradshaw wouldn\u2019t be wrong for wanting to lessen the salary gap between him and Brady. Although complaining about not making enough millions to a room full of plumbers probably won\u2019t get it done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terry Bradshaw sees how much Fox is paying Tom Brady to be their lead NFL analyst and wants&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,14276,6,16026,11718,1369],"class_list":{"0":"post-190304","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-fox-nfl-sunday","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-nfl-on-fox","12":"tag-terry-bradshaw","13":"tag-tom-brady"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114816347375881318","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
