I loved this guy when he was at Notre Dame, I loved him with the Rams, but the day I heard he was traded to Pittsburgh!!!…… I was magic, it was meant to be, and yes, he’s my favorite too. For all the reasons you listed! He was so much fun too watch! Smash mouth football….Pittsburgh style!
I remember the first time that I saw him... It was on daytime TV. Can't remember if it was Rolanda, or Tempest or Jenny or...? but it was one of those, and it was just after he was drafted and he was modeling men's swimwear!
Good to see a story of a successful athlete who had a healthy family growing up. So many stories of dysfunctional or absent fathers in a man's life is heartbreaking.
The end brought a tear to my eye and I don't care who knows it. That season was awesome. We needed to win out our last 3 regular season games, then 3 playoff games on the road, which had never been done before, to get The Bus home to Detroit.
Anyone else tear up watching this? The Bus will always be my favorite player being able to run over ppl and have asthma to prove how hard he worked and this story of how it ended it like a fairytale
Weird Boy if you're asking me am I happy then yes I'm very happy especially with a hot wife and 30 kids. And in my strong manly voice I can say this story really touched my heart.😃
Jerome Bettis is a Pittsburgh Steeler through and through. It was a pleasure to watch this man play and his unselfishness and leadership meant so much to the Steelers franchise. The Rams drafted him but to a generation of Steelernation he belongs to us and the memories he made in the Steelers Black and Gold. God bless Jerome and the whole Bettis family ❤️
That's one of the few times a move really paid off, almost EXACTLY the way you'd expect. When I heard he was going to the Steelers, I had a feeling this was a match made in heaven. They had had some good success with Barry Foster, and Bam Morris...but it's hard to beat Jerome. Great at the point of attack, but, hey, once he got into the secondary, NOBODY back there wanted to deal with him....corners, safeties, even some linebackers weren't in his size and strength category...As the game went on, people were less and less enthusiastic about getting in that big man's way!!!
It's amazing how the Bus didn't get flagged for roughing the tacklers. I remember watching his quest for the SB trophy and I was very happy for him when he finally got it. He deserved it. He is such a great human being and an inspiration to so many.
As a Cowboys fan there are three of these episodes that really moved me inside....Staubach, Samurai Mike Singletary and Jerome "the bus" Bettis. Amazing, inspiring stories. Steelers have such a great history all you can do is tip your hat to what they have accomplished over the years.
Cant say Bettis is the best or even my favorite player, BUT this football story is the best one I've experienced. I mean, from start to finish it's just football excellence exemplified . Thanks to all involved.
Wow! Gotta love him and his awesome family!! We'd all be better off if we loved and supported our family like Mr. Bettis did his! What a beautiful wife and children! Mr. Bettis won more than a Superbowl, he won at life! What a great example of a man and an American! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
The bus is always going to be a champion forever remembered in the Hall of Fame. The bus is the reason why I became a Steeler fan in 1995 also Joey Porter from Bakersfield California the exact place I grew up at even the same High School.
I watched him his entire career and I miss him, even though he's on the sideline as our linebackers coach. He doesnt look right in street clothes. He needs to rip off those street clothes and run out there as 55 again. Dont know why, but somehow, I keep expecting him to do it.
I actually cried too. I guess it was Bettis' warmth as a person and player that got to me. And to see how close his family was to him was _really_ touching. A superb documentary.
Me too. Football wasn't truly prevalent to me until that point. I just remember my aunt and uncle coming over and my cousin came up to my room asked " hey the big game is gonna start. The Steelers are in the superbowl. You coming to watch?"
What a class act. Thank you Jerome for all the great years of football. What an amazing story and what an amazing family. God Bless you and your family Jerome.
Jerome Bettis and I went to the same high school, played for coach Dozier , he was one of many reasons why I joined the football team..it was a pleasure to meet him as a young man. Mackenzie Stags developed quite a few other NFL studs, Pepper Johnson and Gilbert Brown to name a couple
This made me that much more proud to be from Detroit! And have always been a Bettis fan. Only thing that sucks is that the closest the lions will ever get to a super bowl! Bitter sweet, but great story.
Been a Cincinnati Bengal fan since 1989. This is probably the best episode of A Football life. Funny emotional inspiration. Almost cried with Hines Ward and his daughter.
From a Chicago Bears Fan , This was special , much respect to the Jerome Bettis his career, family and the Pittsburgh Steelers Staff and Fan base after watching this salute to all you guys.
Watching this just makes me respect the Steelers even more. I love being a Raven fan, and alot of that comes from being able to witness / be apart of this rivalry from a fans prospective. Easily the most respect out of any rivalry that I have seen from the organization to the fans of both cities. Thanks for uploading this.
Hampsho as a veteran, it’s their right to do as they please. The NFL never even used to have the players out on the field for the national anthem before 2009 when the DoD did their deal with the NFL. They aren’t kneeling to protest the flag.
Pay no attention to the other comments Josh, or the troll who started it. Its a great rivalry. And though its not there right now, with the Ravens down, the past and the future titanic match-ups between us will endure. Forever.
Bettis and Lewis. Both went out with a Super Bowl win. Both deserved it. The Ravens/Steelers rivalry has allowed me to watch some of the best football ever played. I've seen Bettis, Polamalu, Roethlisberger, Ward, Lewis, Suggs, Reed, Ogden, and many other players entertain and inspire their cities. What a great time to have been a fan. Congrats JB on an incredible career.
Omg I haven't cried like this in a while. Dame this was a great one. Woww heart felt 💯💯💯💯💪 love the buss he was unstoppable. Got alot of money winning on the video game .
This made me cry because I'm a die hard STEELERS fan but im a DIE HARD Jerome Bettis fan and I hope someday I can meet him and shake his hand and say THANK YOU.
Rich Brooks, shut up. You were phasing him out, you didn't help him succeed. No one even remembers you as a coach and you were fired the next year. Maybe you'd still have a career if you didn't cut him
@@danieljones1939 %100 bro..doesn't matter who bought the house..being responsible and doing the right things don't change..parents trying to save him from those women trying to leech off his success and have kids running around without a father in the home..Jerome's "crazy" parents together helped make him into what he was and the father and husband he became..
This is what true Detroiter's do of our era, 60's/70's babies! We lead and inspire others. This mantra taught to us by our parents... "DETROIT STRONG" baby..
Whoever chose the music that started at 30:40 is a genius. Him running, unstoppable with the snow coming down, it was like a hero coming out of Valhalla to save us all, or save the season. With all the good years, and the tragic losses, he was invincible at the end. We will never forget Jerome Bettis.
Dragon Ballets Yeah memory blurs with time. This episode of a Football Life sharpened those memories. I had watched him from when he came to the Steelers in 93. I had forgotten the many things about him. Kind of bittersweet though. He's been gone for almost 13 years now, and all we have are memories. Just like with Troy 3 years gone, and the Steelers of the seventies.
An amazing story from my already favorite player! Just strengthened my argument for the bus being the g.o.a.t. Not only as a player, but as a human being! Love you Jerome! Never a man more deserving of that diamond incrusted ring or h.o.f. jacket
I'm not crying... What a great person. Definitely deserved to go out on top at home the way he did. And it's the best Super Bowl storyline of all time. Period, end of story.
38:07 “I don’t care how many yards you get, just hold onto the ball” that’s a coach and player understanding the assignment. I love it. I miss playing so much 🥺
He made you feel like you knew him on a personal level, because what you saw was what he truly was. It takes more than being a good athlete to do that Thank You for being what you are. ..........and some Good Football
Loved Jerome his whole career, when I'd play RB and got to truck over someone I felt like The Bus, that was on a schoolyard at recess, I can only imagine how that'd feel at the highest level. But stories like his, even Hollywood can't write a story this good. Much respect Jerome
Im a rugby league fan from Papua New Guinea but when I accidentally found football lives on RUclips and this has been my favorite thing to watch now seeing the story of all this great athletes. Everyone of them is special and unique in their own way. This is the first time I'm finding out about jerome bettis and he is now my favorite Player because of how unselfish he is.
The guy who recovered the fumble at 33:04 from the Colts #25 Nick Harper was my childhood best friend. I always tell he should have hit the sideline instead of cutting back. But he did win a ring the next year.
This is my favorite football life. I learned so much from this man, and gosh I wish I could meet him and thank him and his family for teaching me things I never knew.
Never rooted for the Steelers (many bad memories, as a Dallas fan) but Super Bowl 40 my late wife loved the Steelers, btw, said "Well I guess for Seattle." I said "No. I'm rooting for the Steelers. I want Bettis to go out, on top!" (Baby was shocked btw). But I knew he was going to be great, when he played for ND. Well done Jerome! Big props to you & your family. I loved this video, thanks for sharing this. My grandson will get to see this.
The true sign that not only was he an amazing football player, but even a better man, was when they showed his relationship with his children. Not only were his kids, polite and well-spoken, but you can see how much they love and respected him, and just how happy they were to be a part of his life. What a beautiful family!
I caught that too. Two highlights later and he does the same thing to Ed Reed. Reed is no slouch too. Always loved the bus. Except when he played Tampa Bay.

A true and real man and NFL legend. I love the bus.
I got his trading card incased
I'm crying like a baby! Got mad respect for JB. The athlete, the man, the son, the father, the husband, the leader. Great video.
I cried too. Him and Hines Ward. Geeze. I still love the Steelers but back then it was magical.
Damn man me too!
Same 😂
Amen🥰🖤💛me too🥰❤️🖤💚l love my Steelers ALL of them and the future ones to come🖤💛
I couldn’t hold back the tears either lol
Such a great story. Met him once and he was the nicest most genuine human being ever.

@Andrew Ng fuck off

His kids are so proud of their father. Just look at their eyes and their smiles.....
Mom and dad, very well done!
You can just feel the love
I love how much his family support him do y'all agree with me
Alberta Westry Oh yes,If have more family like the "Bettis",this world will be a much better place
Alberta Westry I agree
And is his Mamma telling him to come home to get away from LA....LOL
Alberta Westry Yes
Yes indeed..hands raised
Salute to Big Ben for keeping his promis💯 great open field tackle after the fumble much respect ✊🏽
Oddly Big Ben doesn't have a Football Life episode yet.
@@mattblom3990 because his story isnt over....
good ol rapelesberger. i watched the vick football life and have been wondering why didnt ben go to prison for his crime too.
@@LopezandSonsHVAC he wasn’t proven guilty
Big Ben's open-field tackles is one of the best football plays I've ever seen. Props for Jerome, aka the bus, one of the greatest ever.
This dude was a BEAST in the older Madden games lol him and Mike Vick
Yung Jeezy him Vick TO chad Johnson Marshall Faulk Tory Holt Ray Lewis
Mystic Souls Those were the old Madden days when Mike Vick was running the league bro. What a time to be alive.
Yung Jeezy yo bro you not lying
cosmo kramer Og Maddens were 🔥
Right! And don't forget Randy Moss as well.
Two parent household, raising their children with values and morals and this is what you get !! Hats off to the bettis family. Job well done
They don't make players like him anymore...I was lucky to watch his entire career...
Oh hell yeah
I remember the first time that I saw him...
It was on daytime TV. Can't remember if it was Rolanda, or Tempest or Jenny or...? but it was one of those, and it was just after he was drafted and he was modeling men's swimwear!
The bus was one of the greats mad respect from a ravens fan
Good to see a story of a successful athlete who had a healthy family growing up. So many stories of dysfunctional or absent fathers in a man's life is heartbreaking.
Jerome, love you man. This is your city buddy! All of Pittsburgh loves you.
The end brought a tear to my eye and I don't care who knows it.
That season was awesome.
We needed to win out our last 3 regular season games, then 3 playoff games on the road, which had never been done before, to get The Bus home to Detroit.

That St Louis coach was SALTY
He gave himself credit for the bus's hall of fame career LMAO
😂 Facts
What's even more laughable is dumping Bettis for Lawrence Phillips.
I know right
And he sucked
He ran over Brian Urlacher.... just think about that
I will too
Lucas Denault ikr like god damn
Lucas Denault while Urlacher was in his prime and squared up on goal line
in the snow, too
Lucas Denault no, think about Jose he ran over Ray Lewis... damn
It's amazing how the Bus didn't get flagged for roughing the tacklers. I remember watching his quest for the SB trophy and I was very happy for him when he finally got it. He deserved it. He is such a great human being and an inspiration to so many.
Too many didn’t appreciate this man. A big man with feet that moved light… the power… The bus is a legend!

Lifelong 49ers fan but I really enjoyed watching The Bus play for Pittsburg, the moment he retired I stopped caring for the Steelers lol
Lmao i live by bakers
That’s a real man right there, every other man says they owe him.
Shit made me cry... love me some Bus!!
#SteelCityMafia
Juice 730
Oh my gosh I cried like 4 times
Juice 730 gaaaaayyyy
I actually cried too. I guess it was Bettis' warmth as a person and player that got to me. And to see how close his family was to him was _really_ touching. A superb documentary.
For real!!!! 😭😭😭
he said his daughter was the reason he came back and i cried so hard for a few minutes.
That Superbowl game was the first Superbowl I ever watched. I had the flu and that day I realized what football was.
Me too. Football wasn't truly prevalent to me until that point. I just remember my aunt and uncle coming over and my cousin came up to my room asked " hey the big game is gonna start. The Steelers are in the superbowl. You coming to watch?"

This made me that much more proud to be from Detroit! And have always been a Bettis fan. Only thing that sucks is that the closest the lions will ever get to a super bowl! Bitter sweet, but great story.
Now they finally made NFC Championship game!
I’ve watched a few of these “a football life” documentaries. This was the best one so far. Love The Bus and the Steelers.
i live in bronco country, and LOVE the broncos......but the Buss is one of my all time favorites!
i legit couldn't fight the tears when he said his daughter was the reason he came back for another run.
You can't make this up! Class act from a class family! Had me in the feels the whole time!
A man born and raised 3 miles from where I live truly played like a larger than life personality that everyone could look up to.
Been a Cincinnati Bengal fan since 1989. This is probably the best episode of A Football life. Funny emotional inspiration. Almost cried with Hines Ward and his daughter.
Wasn’t ready for how emotional this is. I miss watching him play.
The beautiful thing about this...... its just football.
Man this shit made a mf shed a thug tear lol 😂😂
@@Honeycutt93 U know u not a thug nikka. I'm jp maybe u is🤷🏾♂️
Jerome was like a hybrid of Christian okoye, earl campbell, and walter Payton prove me wrong
No sir...I will not.
WHATEVER'S CLEVER that wasn’t funny
Mike Alstott, he reminds me of Mike Alstott
@@LexieLPoyser alstott wasn't as quick
Growin up watchin him really blew my mind as a kid watching a legend and knowing it at the time seein this now brings tears
Bill Cowher comment at 3:46 is literally the best compliment a coach could possibly give a player
I can only imagine what a player feels like becoming a hall of famer. They will always be rememberd!🙏

Ive been a Steelers fan my whole life. I still miss Jerome Bettis. It was special he played for Pittsburgh...#36 forever👍🏻👍🏻
This has got to be the most wholesome A Football Life
This has to be one of the best episodes of A football Life. Absolutely top shelf. What an Athlete! and what a strong family bond!
By far the best NFL "A Football Life" I've seen. No other comes close.
"He didn't just honor it... He immortalized it" my heart felt that
Bettis and Lewis. Both went out with a Super Bowl win. Both deserved it. The Ravens/Steelers rivalry has allowed me to watch some of the best football ever played. I've seen Bettis, Polamalu, Roethlisberger, Ward, Lewis, Suggs, Reed, Ogden, and many other players entertain and inspire their cities. What a great time to have been a fan. Congrats JB on an incredible career.

What a man in every way.
Brought tears to my eyes more than once.

An amazing story from my already favorite player! Just strengthened my argument for the bus being the g.o.a.t. Not only as a player, but as a human being! Love you Jerome! Never a man more deserving of that diamond incrusted ring or h.o.f. jacket
His kids are so adorable and his wife is awesome! What a beautiful family!
My first NFL idol, and the reason I’m a Steelers fan!
Being an ND fan and a Bettis fan, I am dehydrated from the tears. RIP pop Bettis.
Wow!! Best sports documentary I’ve ever seen. Way to be a great son, father and teammate!! Truly an inspiration.
Jerome’s father is PROUD!
I'm not crying...
What a great person. Definitely deserved to go out on top at home the way he did.
And it's the best Super Bowl storyline of all time. Period, end of story.
38:07 “I don’t care how many yards you get, just hold onto the ball” that’s a coach and player understanding the assignment. I love it. I miss playing so much 🥺
You have my respect Jerome Bettis. You had a football life, but also served your larger purpose in life.
Thanks for sharing this..what a great man and an amazing family. I am lucky you shared this story. Thank you Zach!!!
The best football story I've ever watched 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I really love these episodes. You really learn about the person, where they've been. And where they are going
I saw Bettis play live his rookie year and he was incredible. Looked like a bowling ball out there. Jerome take out the trash! That was funny.
Jerome Bettis is everything that is GOOD in the game of football!!! Bills mafia here. Loved everything you were and are brother 🫡
I love this series gets me so motivated
Not going to lie, this made me cry. Respect to Jerome Bettis, solid human being.
Who else watched the whole thing?
Fame Clan THE WHOLE THING!! And with several reminds lol 😉

Im a rugby league fan from Papua New Guinea but when I accidentally found football lives on RUclips and this has been my favorite thing to watch now seeing the story of all this great athletes. Everyone of them is special and unique in their own way. This is the first time I'm finding out about jerome bettis and he is now my favorite Player because of how unselfish he is.
The greatest feel good story in the history of football
My favorite athlete, from Pittsburgh, love you Bus.
Cowher: This is your F’n city and your my F’n GUY!!!! I felt like running thru a brick wall when he said that!!! 😤😤😤
He was the reason I became a football fanatic. Still my favorite player of all time.
Jerome Bettis number 36 running back of Los Angeles Rams who was named 1993 Rookie of the Year
Jeffery Robertson Before "The Bus" it's was "The Battering Ram"
This has to be the best one. Just a good guy who was blessed for his kindness and hard-work.
The guy who recovered the fumble at 33:04 from the Colts #25 Nick Harper was my childhood best friend. I always tell he should have hit the sideline instead of cutting back. But he did win a ring the next year.
He got stabbed in the leg the night before, he had guts to even play that game much respect to him.
Wonderful, he must have been the most beloved team mate on any Superbowl winning team...
Coach Cowher to JB; "This is your fucking town...and you are my fucking guy". Love it.
This is my favorite football life. I learned so much from this man, and gosh I wish I could meet him and thank him and his family for teaching me things I never knew.
Damn this hit me in the feels reaaal good, got a few tears goin'.

Dammit Bus, got me over in tears
What an incredible story. It’s better than fiction. What a lovely, strong man, and a great family. Thanks for putting this up. More than inspirational
Super Bowl 40 was the first game I ever saw :)
The true sign that not only was he an amazing football player, but even a better man, was when they showed his relationship with his children. Not only were his kids, polite and well-spoken, but you can see how much they love and respected him, and just how happy they were to be a part of his life. What a beautiful family!
💯
@21:24 When have u seen Ronde Barber get trucked like that?! Even for a DB he was a tough tackler but that Bus, Jerome Bettis is a MONSTER!
One of the best players #BOAT
Um.... I'm surprised you ain't talking about him running over Urlacher in his DPOY season
I caught that too. Two highlights later and he does the same thing to Ed Reed. Reed is no slouch too. Always loved the bus. Except when he played Tampa Bay.
that was Kim Herring, not Ed Reed
ThundorKat really? Damn. My bad. U sure? I swore it was, and I aint watching the whole damn thing again to find that spot
One of the most touching Football lIfe's ever. I cried. HIs mom's pride was adorable. I'm so impressed with how he affected his teammates.
Inspiring, Heartwarming and Motivating!
