Terry Bradshaw talks Super Bowl commercial nerves and reveals his pick for Super Bowl LII

Updated

Terry Bradshaw has seemingly conquered it all.

During his 13-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the former quarterback competed in and won four Super Bowls (IX, X, XIII and XIV). He quickly became a top-rated football analyst after his retirement and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility.

Away from the gridiron, Bradshaw has recorded six albums, all either country/western or gospel, and has co-written five books. The broadcaster continued his takeover of America's living rooms when he began acting, appearing in multiple commercials and popular shows including "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Modern Family" and "The League."

However, the 69-year-old added one more bullet to his resume last year in an experience he called "a bucket list thing" -- starring in his very own Super Bowl ad.

See Bradshaw through the years:

In 2017, Bradshaw partnered with Tide to create a "live-ad" for Super Bowl LI. Audiences who tuned in to watch the Patriots and Falcons were taken aback when a jarring stain appeared on the Fox analyst's crisp, white shirt during what appeared to be a live broadcast -- but it was all a clever trick.

"People actually thought that was live!" Bradshaw told AOL.com of the #BradshawStain. "It just was done so brilliantly, which only made me even more proud when the commercial was rated so high."

Tide brought their star back for another ad this year, but with a major twist -- he's been replaced by "Stranger Things" actor David Harbour.

"I'm a little bit shocked that I'm not the focal point again, but being a team guy, I'm here to encourage David," Bradshaw, whose mother has used Tide since its inception in 1948, said.

"The stain is not the star. You are the star and Tide, America's No. 1 detergent, is the star."

The former quarterback chuckled at the notion that this scenario makes him the "Drew Bledsoe of Super Bowl commercials." Bledsoe lost his starting role with the New England Patriots in 2001 after suffering an injury, which allowed Tom Brady to take over under center and never look back.

"We know Tom is the best," Bradshaw said of the Super Bowl-bound Brady. "He's a legend now. He's just amazing, and that coach of his is amazing."

Brady's legendary status and experience in prior Super Bowls doesn't guarantee him a win on February 4th, however. Bradshaw solemnly recalled having a "hard time" with Super Bowls due to the overwhelming pressure on players, especially quarterbacks, ahead of the big game. Brady is likely used to that feeling now, but recently revealed in his documentary series "Tom vs. Time" that his Super Bowl XLII loss to the New York Giants still haunts him.

Bradshaw, who never lost a Super Bowl he appeared in, said he isn't sure he would have been able to handle making it to the big game and leaving without a trophy.

"I knew that my life, my whole image is going to be circled right here," he said of his mental state prior to his championships. "You lose a Super Bowl -- what if you lose two, or three, or four, somehow? What if you win this one? The pressure is just so heavy."

Unfortunately, losing is part of the game, and while Bradshaw could endlessly sing Tom Brady's praises, he's not picking the Patriots to emerge victorious at Super Bowl LII.

"I'm picking and I'm pulling for the Eagles," he revealed. "I feel confident in [Nick] Foles. I am not doubting Foles because he's never played in this. You have to play in the first one to win the first one."

Bradshaw, who said he still feels much more prepared for the gridiron than the acting studio, had similar things to say about Harbour, his replacement in this year's Tide commercial.

"David's won quite a bit of awards, he's a really great dramatic actor," Bradshaw said. "He's a class act, he's fun. You can really see what it's like when a real actor takes a page of a script and goes to work on it. It's like, woah, this boy's good."

As for the advice he gave, Bradshaw, a lifelong Tide user, told his fellow actor to "relax and let that talent come through."

"I was always part of the Tide family, I just never got to do commercials with them," he continued. "When you're the No. 1 detergent selling in America, it'd only be fitting that they're the No. 1 commercial for the Super Bowl, they'll have the No. 1 actor and I'll be the No. 1 support guy."
