Fox NFL Sunday is a mainstay on sports television, which it has been since September 4, 1994.

The NFL on FOX crew has become iconic with star analysts James Brown, Curt Manfee, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw among its most popular members.

On Monday Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowls as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, had his frustrations with his current contraction situation revealed, along with his thoughts on Tom Brady's recent monster contract with NFL on FOX.

Bradshaw spoke on To The Point - Home Services Podcast, which is aimed at HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Roofing and other home improvement companies.

He spoke about the NFL on FOX's record setting Super Bowl audience while admitting that he made some "bad deals" with the network that have left him feeling underpaid.

"Did you see the numbers they did?" Bradshaw asked. "The largest Super Bowl in history. 126 million people. There's 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," Bradshaw continued.

"You know how much money they made? God. More money than plumbers. I can assure that. 28 million.

"And I guarantee you, if I go in there and ask for a raise, 'Well, we don't have any...We're running a little tight. Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I'll take it. I did some bad deals, that's what it was," the legendary Steelers QB Bradshaw added.
