The Steelers Are Ready To Ride The Bus Home And Give Jerome Bettis His Super Bowl Ring!

Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Jerome Bettis has inspired his team to get to this far by ruuning through opposing defenses. Now the Steelers, to a man, want to carry him home to his native Detroit and put a ring on his finger for the crowning jewel of his Hall of Fame NFL career. When the media asked him about his fitness and ability now as opposed to when he came to the Steelers in 1996, his answer reminded me of the line in the Toby Keith song, " May not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was!" Hear "The Bus" answer the reporters. Getting back to his teammates admiration for the NFL's 5th all-time leading rusher, "I think this team has rallied around him and what he's meant to this organization for so long and knowing that this could be his last ride," Faneca said the other day. "The fact that it's in his hometown means a lot to the guys in here to make it happen for him because he's meant that much to us." Wide receiver Hines Ward put his feelings for Jerome this way "Each and every day, Jerome is always teaching me something, what it takes to be a professional athlete, that's why I want to win it more for him than for myself." Bettis may park "The Bus" after this season and Hines said it best, "You really don't realize you're playing with a Hall of Fame running back until it comes to an end, if this will be his last year, what better way than to finish where it all started?" Get the rest of the story. That's Pittsburgh Steelers news.
