every where you turn, its Bettis, Bettis, Bettis, and some people want Jerome to get a ring.. Why??? I cant understand it... Let Bettis have another Burgher and let seattle run wild over them.... I wont be able to watch the nfl network till after the super bowl..

Well, it's better than everyone fawning over Plummer.

As long as we're not playing the Steelers, I like Bettis just fine. I always like seeing an old vet finally get his ring.

Not a fan of the steelers even tho' I found myself rooting for them yesterday and they played a complete game, with a well deserved win. I do think it would be interesting to hear of older vets, perhaps playing in their last game, on the Hawks team.

how could you not root for The Bus? 13 years vet with no ring, and will be making his first SB appearance in what could be his last season playing in the NFL. The script couldn't have been better. I mean, this has to be special if it almost caused somebody his life

I could care less about Jerome Bettis .

Don't confuse the media frenzy with the player.

Remember the Tedy Bru thing they started. I think Tedy and his wife were embarrassed by it. I know that I was for them.

The media with do what they do , hype, hype, hype. Once they grab onto a "story" they will never let go, until the next one that they find more interesting comes along.

I only rooted for the Steelers to beat the Colts, and Denver. Now, life is back to normal - i.e. I don't feel any particular desire to root for them, since I don't dislike Seattle as I do Denver and the Colts...

Gnome sayin'?

I agree! I have had asthma for 29 years now and he is an inspiration and a great guy. How can you not root for a good person? I know there are a lot of cheap shot artists on that team, but JB is not one of them!

I guess I am not up on my history, but where was Bettis when the Steelers went to the SB against Dallas?? Was he still with the Rams?
