"I will finally get my ring and I will start my new career in television in front of all the Steelers fans."The Bus ended his playing career after 13 seasons, retiring as the NFL's No. 5 career rusher. In recent seasons, though, he was relegated to more short-yardage or goal-line situations. He finished with 43 yards on 14 carries in the Super Bowl.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2336776
I remember Joey Porter saying something like that after the Super Bowl. This will be good, I like the Bus and I like watching the NFL on NBC so I look forward to seeing him on next year.
Good for him. He goes out w/ a Super Bowl win, and he gets to be at the ceremony where they get their rings.
That's good. It will be fun to have a new person to listen too.I would take a year off if I were him but its his choice.
*Sigh*Just another biased commentator. I'll just have to watch the game on TV and turn down the TV and listen to the audio from the radio.
yeah i know, you showing him no respect dude, you need to grow up and stop talking shit to anybody from the steelers, just because were in our division doesn't mean you have to, at least i have respect for your team, and you know what else, i don't even hate the browns.

It's just they are all clearly biased towards the teams that made them rich (ie: Michael Irvin with the Cowboys (and "The U"))
Mostly all commentators had something to do with the NFL. Whether it be as a coach, player, assistant, etc.

Like whenever they talk about the Browns on the pregame show on fox (or is it CBS) - I don't remember . Bradshaw has to talk smack about them. Is that necessary? Hell no. I bet the guy still has bad dreams about 'Turkey' Jones... LOL
