Terry Bradshaw has been bald for as long as most people have known him.
The 78-year-old NFL broadcaster, who has worked for Fox Sports for more than 30 years, made his 2026 regular season debut on Sunday. The Pittsburgh Steelers legend, who won four Super Bowls during his career, was bald for the majority of his playing career, as well.
But it sounds like Bradshaw is considering a change.
The Hall of Fame quarterback admitted on Sunday that he’s considering hair plugs. Bradshaw appears to be motivated by his friend and co-worker, Howie Long, who he says had a hair plugs surgery.

Bradshaw chided Long for his hair plugs on Sunday afternoon.
“First of all, I love everybody up here, especially Howie,” Bradshaw said on FOX. “I want to thank Howie because I thought, here in Hollywood, I need to go back and capture some youth.”
Long seemed to know that he was about to get called out.
“Where’s this going?” he asked.
Bradshaw responded: “I’m 78 now. I need to get some hair plugs. Howie gave me the name of his doctor, and I can’t thank you enough, Howie. Plugs!”
Does Howie Long really have hair plugs?
Long does have good hair, and a strong hair line, so it’s certainly possible that he got some plugs. Long didn’t seem to deny it on Sunday.
Chris Long has said that his dad does like to live “clean.”
“He really lives clean. He’s not a drinker. He’s not a smoker,” Chris Long told the Post about his father in 2022. “He’ll have a glass of wine. If he has two glasses of wine, I’ll be like, ‘Are you alright, man? You getting a little tipsy?’ The only time I ever saw him drink liquor was my wedding, when he had a shot with me — and he did not look like he does that with regularity.”
It would be very funny to see Bradshaw showing up with plugs, though.
