Terry Bradshaw joked Wednesday about dying live on air as he wraps up another season as a FOX NFL Sunday co-host.

The former Steelers quarterback and Hall of Famer has been with the show since its inception in 1994 and has no plans to step down anytime soon at the age 74.

'I told Fox, if I could just die on the show, think about the ratings, right? Are we not about ratings? That'd be huge,' he said to reporters in Phoenix ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles.

'Not only that, it'd be a huge carryover. All the networks would be saying that Bradshaw died on the Fox NFL show. Can you imagine the huge stuff? And maybe I get a huge statue out front.

Bradshaw has become a fixture on FOX's NFL coverage after ending his playing career in 1983, but serious health issues threatened that position - and his life - not that long ago.
