From NFL Analyst to Horse Rancher--Terry Bradshaw Terry Bradshaw, the Pro football Hall of Famer who once slung footballs for the Pittsburgh Steelers feels just as comfortable raising horses on his ranch in southern Oklahoma. To prove it, he showed his own horse named Failure to Launch on Thursday during the American Quarter Horse World Show underway in Oklahoma City. Afterward, Bradshaw had to admit he was nervous about the debut. "It was fun and it's very stressful, but I am glad it's over and we got a third out of it. That's great!" It was an early-morning class for the sorrel gelding nicknamed 'Al' after the character that Bradshaw played in the movie 'Failure to Launch'. "Kinda like NASCAR. The biggest race is the first race and the super Bowl's the most important thing." Al was one of more than 3,400 entries from around the world. "I was excited about it but it was tough," he told KTOK's Tim Granahan. He also admitted the young horse was a challenge in the show ring. Bradshaw's horse ranch is near Thackerville.
