HBO Sports and NFL Films joined forces to release “Terry Bradshaw: Going Deep” a unique documentary that showcases the Hall of Fame QB’s one-of-a-kind personality.
A good portion of the documentary directed by Keith Cossrow features Bradshaw’s stage show where the Fox broadcaster performs country music numbers, tells stories about his playing days in a self-deprecating manner and combines it with archival NFL footage.

In August of 2021, Bradshaw took the stage at the Clay Cooper Theater in Branson, Missouri for a series of live performances that offered a mix of singing, music, colorful stories, and honest and emotional reflections on his life. Presented in Bradshaw’s own words, TERRY BRADSHAW: GOING DEEP is a first-person account of one of the most popular and versatile sports personalities of modern times.
While Bradshaw’s stage show is highly entertaining, the real highlight of the documentary comes from the interview portion in which Bradshaw discusses his lifelong struggle with depression. At a time when athletes’ mental health issues are at the forefront, it’s refreshing to see someone like Bradshaw share his personal experiences with depression and therapy.
“There is no one in sports quite like Terry Bradshaw,” said Cossrow. “He’s been in our lives for more than 50 years. We’ve seen him struggle, we’ve seen him on top of the world, he’s made us laugh, and he hasn’t been afraid to cry. And there is no one better to tell his extraordinary story than Terry himself. We are thrilled to have made this special with him.”
The 75-minute documentary premieres at 9 p.m. Tuesday, February 1 on HBO and HBO Max.
There was so much he had to learn.
