This was a great plug! Where was the interview?

[@SirFixAlot72]

Best thing Pittsburgh did was get Bettis early in his career.

[@dustinwilliams489]

Wanted to hear Jerome Bettis speak about the Steelers and I’m 7 minutes in and it was all ads? Why even post it? WTF

[@trogdor20X6]

Not a big fan of pitches for random products on exchange for an interview

[@jhkr4644]

You look like you can still play. One of my favorite Steelers!!

[@markerard270]

Jb looking like a bill board.

[@michaelreed5722]

Here is my proposal for an 18 game season. 1) Expand the active roster to 65+ and keep the taxi squad. 2) 20 weeks to play 18 games in regular season. 3) 2 bye weeks spaced with one in weeks 6-10 and the other in weeks 11-15. 4a) Games only on Sunday/Saturday or 4b) Thursday games week 8-13 with both teams getting their 2 bye weeks before and after the game. Meaning if a team has a Thursday game then the team doesn't play the Sunday before and Sunday after the Thursday of the game. This is from the POV of players.

I'm sure the NFL owners will read your proposal and consider it.

[@joshuariston2924]

Roster expansion is absolutely necessary. Should be 90 per team.
