What was said

""I didn't find out about ADHD or ADD until after I tried from football and I just could not. It just it piled up on me and I finally started thinking and something's wrong and uh so I spent three days of testing and they put me on um basically ADD medicine.""

Terry Bradshaw says he struggled for years with focus and only learned he had ADHD/ADD after retiring from football. He says he underwent three days of testing and was prescribed ADD medication, though he says he did not like taking it, and that the diagnosis helped explain earlier difficulties.
