OK, thta may read funny to anyone from Ontario. I am not talking about the GO bus. I am talking about Jerome "The Bus" Bettis of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sorry, let me correct that; The Super Bowl XL Champion Steelers!!
Bettis leaves the game at the high and low of his career. While there is no doubt that he can still run and crash, he has definitely slowed down over the past few years and for a smart professional, he is not lingering on for the money. His team stepped it up and made history by being the first sixth seeded team to not only win three road games to make the Super Bowl, not only beating the top three seeds in the process but to also win the whole damn thing period.
Extra special to this is that they did it in Detroit at the stadium that Bettis grew up just a few miles away from dreaming that he would one day play in. Well, the Detroit Lions super duper suck so thankfully he went to a team that could truly use his talents. And now he retires a champion, before needing a walker to handle the ball and the fifth leading rusher all-time of the NFL. His path to the NFL Hall of Fame is most assured. Especially since there will be no controversy as he is one of the most likeable players to ever don a uniform.
Congratulations Mr. Bettis; you've earned a long rest.
Ciao.
