Just was reading on the Steelers website this AM...
Bettis likely will make his sixth start for injured Duce Staley. He accepted a pay cut of more than $2.6 million to return to play for $1 million with a reduced role in the lineup, but he leads the team with 824 yards rushing. He's within sight of the ninth 1,000-yard rushing season of his 12-year career. "It's not that significant," Bettis said. "The only thing that's significant is home-field advantage. That's the only thing I'm caring about, the only reason I came back -- an opportunity to win the Super Bowl." This is it. This is the opportunity that's staring us in the face," Bettis said. "Obviously, I didn't come back for the money. That wasn't it. The chance to win the Super Bowl is the reason I'm back."
The man is here to help his team win a SB...I know 2.6 to 1 million is still alot but MANY, MANY superstars like this would bawk at having to take a paycut... not to mention the fact that he was in a backup role when Staley came around with all that hype
