Denver Bronco fans - mostly the fans that think TD should be in the Hall of Fame. TD had great O-line and a Hall of Famer at quarterback., HOFer TE. Minus John Elway - TD stats are average.
This was and still is a proud moment for Detroit, Coach Bob Dozier and the rest of David Mackenzie High School. Feels real good to see one of your own in the HOF.
For several decades I passed up going to Canton to see so many Steelers inducted into the HOF but had to be there for this one. Congratulations Jerome!
As Alan Faneca said in the 4th qtr of the Super Bowl with a Steelers lead, “RIDE THE BUS, RIDE EM!” Keep on riding bro! Thanks for all you did for Steeler nation!
Amazing comment, because I can tell ya I've met several professional athletes, either in passing, at events, etc, and 99% of them come across as a bit arrogant and bigoted. But NO ONE has come across as so humble, down to earth and relatable as Jerome Bettis. Truly is an all-round good guy
I love how Chris Berman when he was working NFL primetime how he would make the sound of a piston when Bettie was battling for extra yards or punching in for a touchdown
Great speech by a great running back and greater man! Jerome "The Bus" Bettis you deserved this honor for the years you kicked total butt in the Black & Gold! #STEELCITY
I was going to press the like button on your comment but I chose to comment instead because 36 needs to stay right there! #BusWillForeverRunInCantonOhio
I was there for that. I told my folks and friends that I would not go visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton until Jerome got inducted and was there to hear his speech live
I also vowed never to visit until The Bus made it in, and the minute he was confirmed, the plans were made. It was the best (and worst) experience, because the logistics for the weekend there sucked, but seeing The Bus finally achieve this long overdue accomplishment was worth it.
Jerome Bettis, a class act. He uses his own moment to talk to JrSeaus kids and tell them how great of a man their father was. That proves it right there.
Jerome you R a big man in my book, and not because you a R football star, but big as a person, you made your whole beautiful family cry and I cried along with them, G-D bless you and your family, and I do hope your M om will get well as G-D take care of G-D's people. PS glad to hear that your trip to ISR. was a good one, we need more people like you you in this world.
From North Versailles, Pa. Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go! Seeing those towels and hearing the chant brought me chills. Man I know I'm getting old when I vividly remember him being traded here on draft day to now being inducted into the hall. Time is going too damn fast.
I met The Bus when I was 10yrs old,he came to Aliquippa High School which is still to this day the most dominant high schools in football in Pennsylvania. I got the blessed opportunity to meet him and I told him "Mr. Bettis I want to be a football player like you when I get bigger" he got on a knee looked me in my eyes and said "big guy you're gonna be a better football player than me". Thanks to Mr. Bettis albeit due to injuries in high school I never got the chance to make it pro I had the drive,determination,and dedication to be the best player I could possibly be on and off the field. Congrats Mr. Bettis this kids life you touched and changed. Congratulations you deserve it.
Andrea Khuriel Ben doesn't make that tackle, colts win the game, steelers don't win 40, Jerome doesn't get a ring, I don't know not sure he'd of made it
Watching Netflix Icons. Eagles fan here. Jerome Bettis is pure class. A genuine good man and great football player. I'd have him on any Eagles team any time.
Just a few moments of camera on his mother, Gladys. Her face communicated everything. Without knowing her, can tell that she is an amazing woman and great mother.
It's similar to a church where people sing and clap. But Bettis' had a wonderful speech to his people and his former teammates. The Steelers still remember his time with them when they signed him
I actually have a Jerome Bettis jersey my little sister bought for me a million years ago. I'm no Steelers fan, and she probably just picked out a jersey that's cool looking! But Jerome Bettis really was one of my favorite players growing up!
I'm glad he finally got in, but the class of 2011 was strong. Marshall Faulk, Deion Sanders, and Jerome Bettis first timers and then throw in Shannon Sharpe.
Charles allen jr Yea you right that was an amazing class as well. But for that dude to be that great. That big and durable...To rush for that many Yard's and Td's. I'm just Lil pissed he didn't go in first ballot. But He's in and I couldn't be more proud or happier for a better person!
Best memories of Jerome. 4th Quarter and the Steelers have the ball and the lead. EVERYONE knows that Bettis is getting the ball and he still gets 3-4 yards with the entire defense trying to stop him! I live in Latrobe and seeing him up close in training camp and thinking, there is no way was he weighs 250lbs. I think each of his legs weighed that much!
Present and future Steelers take note Of what class and character is dll about Thank you you Bus You Are what the Steeler Organization represents Class
Westside Detroit OG JB...he ran over my cousin who was playing DB ; when they played Henry Ford in '88 it still all good!! one love BUS! Trojans still won doe! .. lol
