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

BTW, Like Bettis had much choice? There weren't teams knocking the door down to pick him up.

HUH?

Your down a boatload and they still havent gotten anywhere but into the playoffs against 2-4 teams that are better than them or just as good.

Was that a good strategy Potatohead!

I don't know, when you think about it, it does seem as if Bettis has been "rejuvenated" this year. I suppose Big Ben has rubbed off on the whole team......

EXCELLENT point Hache!

However, GENERAL makes a good argument in his post also on who would want Bettis after this year for that salary.

Dante

I have met the Bus and spoke with him many times, actually know his brother John quite well. Jerome has never forgotten his roots and treats friends, family, and kids very well. He does alot of stuff for the inner city of Detroit and is very generous & approachable. I use to cater his annual golf outing for kids with asthma. Great event with some pretty darn good football celebs, Mcnabb, Woodson, Terell Davis, Tony Dungee are just a few of the guys who use show up.
