Stop Pretending Nothing's Wrong

Terry bradshaw had a lot to feel good about during the early 1990s. As a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he had won four Super Bowls. He gained a spot in pro football's Hall of Fame the first year he was eligible. And when he retired from football as a player in 1984, he made the jump to the broadcast side look easy. His cheerful and direct style earned him popularity among viewers and a collection of Emmy Awards from the TV pros. Yet the surfeit of success left Bradshaw oddly joyless. Each Super Bowl victory left him dreading the prospect that he would fall short the next season. And as he amassed more cars, land and horses, he took less and less pleasure in them. His light shined smartly on national television, but inside he felt fearful and empty. And through it all, Bradshaw now recalls, "I didn't consider remotely that I might be depressed."
