Terry Bradshaw Takes 12 Years to Propose Because He Forgot Where Ring Was

The NFL legend let a whole decade slide by while checking under sofa cushions for a diamond and his missing sanity.

A hand-drawn caricature illustrating the story Terry Bradshaw Takes 12 Years to Propose Because He Forgot Where Ring Was, showing Terry frantically searching for jewelry.
Listen, we all know Terry Bradshaw is a man of many talents, but apparently, speed-dating is not one of them. Our favorite quarterback spent twelve whole years—that’s three presidential terms and roughly forty-thousand commercials for shingles vaccines—deciding if Tammy was 'the one.' Most people get a mortgage in that time, but Terry was basically using a decade-long loading screen to recover from his past relationship fumbles. He claims he needed therapy and time to heal his bruised heart, but come on, Terry! You could have built a whole stadium with your bare hands in twelve years. Poor Tammy probably thought she was just a very dedicated houseguest or a high-ranking intern until he finally popped the question in 2014. It’s a miracle she didn't replace his morning coffee with a ticking clock as a subtle hint. At the end of the day, the guy just wanted to be sure he didn't end up in the divorce end zone for a fifth time. It’s sweet, in a 'glacial pace of a tectonic plate' kind of way. Now that they're hitched, we can only assume it’ll take him another fifteen years to decide what he wants for dinner tonight. Hang in there, Tammy!
