The four-time champion helped the network deliver a record Super Bowl broadcast this year.
Bradshaw was part of the Fox NFL Sunday team that broadcast for five hours before the game.
The crew began on Bourbon Street in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana.
And they made their way to the Superdome ahead of kickoff.
More than 127 million Americans tuned in to watch the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bradshaw discussed the viewing figures this week with To The Point — Home Services Podcast.
And he made a cheeky reference to Brady’s 10-year deal worth $375 million.
“Did you see the numbers they did?” Bradshaw said to a live audience.
“The largest Super Bowl in history. 126 million people.
“There’s 330 million people in America. That is a ton.
“The Fox pregame show averaged 28 million for five hours.
“Who in the world is gonna sit around and watch that mess for five hours? 28 million.”
Bradshaw added, “You know how much money they made? God.
“More money than plumbers, I can assure you that. 28 million.
“And I guarantee you, if I go in there and ask for a raise, ‘Well, we don’t have any…we’re running a little tight.’
“Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year.”
The former Steelers quarterback added, “I’ll take it. I did some bad deals, that’s what it was.”
Brady joined Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews in Fox’s leading announce team.
Bradshaw, meanwhile, is thought to be paid around $5 million a year.
He dropped a hint about his retirement during Super Bowl week.
The Fox icon insists he wants to make it to the next Fox Super Bowl – in four years time when he’s 80.
