Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw parts ways with 744-acre Oklahoma ranch: Report
Amidst his personal struggles, Terry Bradshaw is parting ways with one of his most valuable possessions.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star recently sold his ranch in Thackerville, Oklahoma, to horse breeders Chad and Tiffany Beus, with the help of the Icon Global Group. While it was listed at $22.5 million, the final selling price was not disclosed. The property, which has since been renamed Red River Equine, is expected to be turned into a horse breeding complex.
Spanning 744 acres and straddling the Red River, it boasts the following amenities:
- 8,000-sq. ft. luxury house with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, pool, and spa
- 2,600-sq. ft. manager's house
- Four-bedroom bunkhouse
- Two barns
- Eight lakes
Terry Bradshaw, who has been dealing with bladder and skin cancer, a lung issue, and asthma exacerbated by living in Los Angeles, said of the sale (via New York Post):
"Along the way, we have been presented with and considered many great offers, opportunities, and proposals. However, between my own schedule, the TV series, my family's changing needs, our horse and cattle business, as well as many other commitments, neither timing nor opportunity was ever on our side or completely aligned."
When Terry Bradshaw misnamed a rookie wide receiver
Football is innately a punishing sport, with many players showing signs of brain damage from all the hits they have taken - even Hall of Famers like Terry Bradshaw are no exception.
But the Pittsburgh Steelers legend is a special case in that he may be showing it late into his sportscasting career as well.
During the halftime show for the recent game between the Houston Texans and Cincinnati Bengals, Bradshaw mistakenly called Tank Dell, a rookie wide receiver for the former team, "Tank Bell". This, along with his stuttering while speaking, led to calls for the 75-year-old to be removed from the desk.
Dell, meanwhile, had a decent performance, catching six passes for 56 yards and a touchdown in the ensuing 30-27 victory. So far, he has had a total of 34 receptions for 510 yards and five touchdowns, with him and fellow rookie CJ Stroud putting the Texans at 5-4, a good position for the team's first playoff appearance of the post-JJ Watt era.
