Jerome Bettis Good Quotations

I?m a realist in a sense that I do understand there is a good chance it is my last game.

I thought it could've been pretty serious because I felt some pain in there, ... But as these days have gone, it's felt progressively better. That's definitely a good sign.

We don't have to be as good as we were last year, ... It doesn't matter if we're 15-1 again - if we're 10-6 but we win the Super Bowl, that's a better season.

The alternative to all this is that I could be at home watching, and for a lot of years I have been watching. So this is a good problem to have.

Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team.

Bowling was my first love. Beating my mother for the first time when I was 13 or 14 was a major accomplishment. I had big glasses. I was a pretty smart kid, maybe nerdy, but I always had a good street sense.

The one thing is that, on the road, we've been really, really good the last couple of years. It's something we can take as a positive.

This is good for the team, ... It keeps team morale up. Whenever you get a player of his caliber signed, it shows the commitment the organization has to its players. I think it reinforces a positive message that if you go out there and perform on the field, we'll take care of you. I think that makes a very, very conducive environment for us to go out there and work.

Don't believe that. Seattle has got a good football team. If we don't prepare and we don't get ready, they are going to kick our butts.

His development is the reason why we are here. We've had some really good teams but, unfortunately, we haven't been able to get over the hump. He's been able to do that.

Because of my size, I probably shouldn't be able to do some of the things I'm able to do. I just want to be remembered as a running back who was abnormal but had good feet, loved to play the game and did it right.

It's working that way, and, hopefully, if I can stay healthy toward the end of the year, it's a big plus for us, ... That's the fun part, to be able to go out there and still contribute. To be on the sideline all those weeks, it was frustrating, so it was good to go back out there and pound the ball and show people it was still there.

It's a shame, but I think now people are starting to realize how good a coach he's been for how long. And I think before the game he's being acknowledged for that, so I really think that's a good thing. But ultimately you're only remembered for winning the big game.

It's a dream come true. I came back because I knew we had a good team, and I knew the Super Bowl was in my backyard. I'm glad everything worked out.
