Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw likes to claim (correctly) that he is truly the original TB12 in football, but could he be the original Tom Brady, too?
That might actually be the case.
On March 3, 1983, Bradshaw — after a year of playing through elbow pain from an injury suffered in training camp that ultimately required a cortisone shot before every game — checked himself into a Louisiana hospital for elbow surgery to try and fix the issue.
That might not seem all that surprising, considering the pain Bradshaw played through throughout the strike-shortened 1982 season.
