Jerome Bettis REVENGE Game! (Rams vs. Steelers 1996, Week 10)

[@jomei63]

Traded Jerome Bettis for Lawrence Phillips is one the worst mistake ever done it in NFL history

[@Firestorm2814Sector]

I’d put Clinton Portis for Champ Bailey up there too

[@silverwheel]

Rich Brooks got fired for that, along with passing on Randall Cunningham in free agency that year in favor of Steve Walsh.

[@charlesharry7901]

Rams got there lesson back than

[@demetriusjohnson2240]

⁠​⁠@@Firestorm2814Sectornot really Bailey hof player and Portis had good career

The rams coach famously said Jerome wouldn't be a dominat running back in the NFL and traded him He proved him wrong To be fair he did say he was %100 wrong on him

[@nickbradfordsr80]

For a big man, JB had some incredible footwork

[@joshuamcclellan4942]

Jerome Bettis looked like a OL running the ball

[@EdmacZ]

Yes. The Steelers went an entire season with Mike Tomczak at QB and still won the division and made the playoffs. Bill Cowher's finest coaching efforts.

[@astrostar49]

BTW, Joel Steed was a very underrated nose guard. Great career, all with Pittsburgh. Then the Steelers reload replacing him with Casey Hampton lol.

[@eyezzsodrppyXXX]

I agree. AB was the worst. I bet over his career with the Steelers. He took no less than a full game of minutes away looking for a camera so he could ham up to it.

[@1999bill1999]

Bettis getting traded was the worst trade in Rams history. However it did pave the way for Marshall Faulk years later

[@exiledrabbit]

I NEED that hat Bettis was wearing at the end

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Starter made the best hats.

[@astrostar49]

Drafting Lawrence Phillips, and trading Jerome Bettis away doomed Rich Brooks. He clearly didn't know what he already had.

[@silverwheel]

you don't know what you got till it's gone trade paradise, draft a parking lot

[@fantasticvoyage262]

He didn't play well his last year with the Rams. And wasn't happy. It wasn't going to work out. But it opened the door for Faulk just a few years later.

[@stevenkmiller]

Personally, I'm very grateful for Rich Brooks' decision to trade 36.

[@PhilJHaast7695]

Brooks and the Rams GM were both fired after 96, which was the start of the team's rebirth.

[@Dirtnation2]

The Rams trade to Pittsburgh worked out very will with both teams because Rams drafted Ernie Conwell with that pick in the 1996 draft who was a player in the 1999 team. Bettis help Pittsburgh to a Superbowl. Although both teams passed on Adam Vinatieri, Eddie George and T.O. in this draft.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I forgot about that. Conwell was a useful player on the Super Bowl team.

[@Dirtnation2]

@@fantasticvoyage262 1999 was Erine only down season in St. Louis (knee) but played in both Super Bowls with the team.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

@@Dirtnation2 You're right. He barely played on the Super Bowl winning team. He returned at the end of the season and caught a pass in each of the 3 playoff games. But he did have 3 other seasons he caught 30 passes.

Joe Buck has seriously improved as an announcer... It sounds like he's putting on some fake "announcer voice" in this game.

[@griffinconaway732]

Used to hate him but i appreciate the fact that you can clearly see hes made an effort to improve his craft.

[@TheLocalLt]

He was only 26 years old here and was trying to sound “big”. Then he had that Pat Summerall phase where every call was understated. Finally in the 2010s it seems he learned how to just be himself on air

[@fantasticvoyage262]

He sounds fine to me. He doesn't sound any different than all the other hundreds of times I watched or listened.

[@Psikucertk]

He’s said it himself that he over compensated early in his career. His dad was a longtime announcer

[@lightingbolt8148]

He still sucks

[@martinishot]

Jan 2000 at SB 34 Bettis arrives by bus to watch the Rams Titans and the ABC guy with the mike asks who he is routing for. Bettis says Titans!! Why would I rout for the Rams?, they traded me!! Dude was still not over it.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

He didn't want to be there. So I don't know why he held such a petty grudge all those years later.

[@debbiegrasse3920]

I remember when they did the special on the Football Life of Jerome Bettis and Rich Brooks actually stated in that special that he was probably partially responsible for Jerome Bettis getting into the football Hall of Fame. No Rich Brooks. You sent The Bus to the team who recognized his unique talent. April 20, 1996 was the day the Steelers were blessed to sign The Bus. Thanks Rich Brooks & you had not thing one to do with Jerome being inducted in the Football Hall of Fame. Jerome showed you exactly what you traded in this game. You told Jerome he wasn’t a game changer. Guess you were 100% wrong. The Pittsburgh Steelers thank you.

[@veddardstark655]

Super Bowl 14 rematch

[@charlesworkman8133]

Couldn't ever be a true revenge game as the Rams were done in LA the year he was moved. Playing a revenge game in Pittsburgh is a bit diluted from the traditional return and stick it in the ___ of the old team.

[@exiledrabbit]

The rams disrespected him with this trade it was all the same people in the org so def a revenge game for him

[@davidroberts7282]

The Rams, although they got far less benefit from this clearly one-sided trade, long-term, probably did Bettis a huge favor in trading him to a team which had a strong, smash-mouth aggressive running-centered offense along with a dominant, nasty feared defense, was able to better showcase Bettis' skills and allow him to gain 6, 7 more 1,000-rushing seasons instead of him eventually runner down or marginalized out of St. Louis more open passing-oriented offense they began implementing under Rich Brooks in 1995. If Bettis hadn't been traded to Steelers before the 1996 season, his career likely ends by 1998 or 1999 and he doesn't amount anything close to resembling a future HOF career. And keep in mind, their are some HOF writers and voters who mightve kept him out of Canton for a longer period of time if Pittsburgh doesn't go on that magical 2005 SB run. That helped him immensely. He even admitted and alluded to it as well as praising Big Ben for making his incredible tackle, preventing Nick Harper of Colts from returning Bettis late-game fumble in AFC Div. game for a probable GW TD.

[@exiledrabbit]

@@davidroberts7282 I don't disagree with anything you're saying, no doubt the trade benefitted Bettis immensely. I do think it was a revenge game for him though, he didn't leave there feeling respected or like they were doing it for his best interests.
