If you haven't heard, Jermoe Bettis is going to be inducted into the Bowling Hall Of Fame as the first celebrity to have that honor. It was a bit piece on the AP wire this morning. The idiot AP writer who didn't even get mentioned - ended the piece the way a lot of pieces like this end....with a stupid fluffy paragraph intended to explain why the lovable Bus is called "The Bus". The writer said Bettis is known as "The Bus" because of his wide body and his straight ahead running style. No. No. No. No. No. The saying is "He's as big as a house", not "He's as big as a bus". The reason Jerome Bettis is called "The Bus" is because HE CARRIES PEOPLE. Ask him....he'll tell you. I've seen him say it. To paraphrase - I've heard him say they call me the bus because we both carry people. Dumb AP writer! He's probably from Seattle! Get it? People try to tackle him (see Brian Urlacher in the Bears game) and he carries them after being hit or grabbed onto. It's quite simple really.....don't you think?
