Jerome Bettis Show: Between The Uprights
Vick Is Not For The Steelers
I do believe that when a man convicted of a crime pays his debt to society, that he has every right to re-enter society and make his living in a way he sees fit. I’m just not sure yet about Michael Vick’s fit in the NFL. But I know this, it’s not with [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Super Warning: Don’t Take Arizona Lightly
The Steelers are 12-4. They’re playing an upstart team in the Super Bowl that went 9-7 in the regular season, a team that was not expected to make it this far. But I’m not talking about the Arizona Cardinals. I’m talking about the 1979 Steelers and the 1979 Los Angeles Rams.
The playoffs [...]
AFC Championship Memories
As a football fan I feel pretty fortunate. I’ve been watching Steelers football for 30 years now, and this will be the 10th AFC Championship game for me personally as a fan. Some have been thrilling, some have been crushing.

Oh No Plaxico
Plaxico Burress. Back when the Steelers had Plax, he had a little bit of legal trouble, had the issue about not showing up for mini-camp on mother’s day weekend, but he was worth it right? Guy could catch the ball right? Big tall receiver…deep threat…blah blah blah.
