But the NFL legend revealed that he wasn’t feeling good in a clip shared by his son-in-law. “Hello America, Chef Noah Hester here,” Noah said in the video via his Instagram handle. “We are headed to New Jersey for a book signing event. Terry (Bradshaw) is a little bit concerned that he won’t have any fans there. I know all have at least 15 people that show up for me, so a few people could show up for Terry so that he doesn’t feel left out. That would be really fantastic. I know there’ll be another two to three hundred more for Tammy (Bradshaw) there, but Terry’s very concerned.”

In a light-hearted roast, Noah then asked the Steelers‘ legend if he had any thoughts as he was feeling a bit concerned. In his response, Terry revealed nervously, “I’m not feeling good about this afternoon. I’ve lost my…fan base. Just a couple cookbooks, but if you’ll show up, I appreciate it. I’m really nervous.”
