Strahan Corrects Terry Bradshaw After Smith-Njigba Name Flub, Fueling Fresh Calls to Retire

The 77-year-old says he plans to finish his Fox deal, then retire at 80.

Overview

  • During Week 12 highlights of Seattle’s win over Tennessee, Terry Bradshaw mispronounced Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s name, prompting an on-air correction from Michael Strahan.
  • The exchange circulated widely on social media as viewers urged Bradshaw to retire or step back from highlight duties.
  • Bradshaw laughed off the correction in the moment, replying, “That’s what I said,” before repeating the name with an extra syllable.
  • Fox has not announced any personnel changes, and Bradshaw has stated he intends to call one more Super Bowl before retiring at age 80.
  • The moment follows a recent broadcast in which Bradshaw was sent home due to illness and adds to concerns about his on-air slip-ups during his three-decade Fox tenure.
