I'm sitting at my desk here at work and my Amazon order shows up with the Jerome Bettis book for dh. It's slow, so I start reading the foreward written by his parents and now I'm bawling. No wonder he's such a great guy! Looks like dh gets to read it second. Can't wait for Sunday! Here we go...
Another good football player bio book is Running for My Life by Warrick Dunn.
I'm part of the GA Steeler's Nation, Hines Ward baby! Another class act and the integrity of the players is why I became a fan.
Dh has been a fan since he was 4 yrs old and went against his Brown's fan dad.
Another Steeler fan here! I alway say DH is one step away from being a face painter.
He has been really grumpy lately because he is afraid his playoff tickets were delivered and someone stole them. We are season ticket holders and when they deliver tickets they put them on our front patio, no sig required. I had to call today to ensure they had not been lost. They'll be here monday or tuesday! DH will be happy.
My DS6 still loves his Jerome Bettis jersey the best. Two years ago I had to go buy him additional jerseys because he refused to change his and so I had the stinky kid! He'd take it off for his bath but absolutely refuse to put on any other shirt. He even named his hermit crab Jerome Bettis!
We have a Bettis jersey hanging in our family room (along with Mario Lemieux's and Roberto Clemente's!)
Our dog's name is Ben as in Roethlesberger!!!
Can you tell we're Pittsburghers?!?!?![]()

I am a Steelers fan by marriage, and I told my husband that if we ever get another dog, it will be a boy named "Bettis" with a Steelers collar.
