　　He was one of pro football’s most beloved and respected stars,

admired not only by NFL fans and his own teammates, but by his

opponents as well. Super Bowl champion; six time Pro Bowler; NFL

Comeback Player of the Year; NFL Man of the Year; fifth all-time

leading rusher in the NFL; future Hall of Famer; now NBC Sports

commentator.

You may think you know Jerome Bettis, but you don’t.

In The Bus, Jerome Bettis tells his full, unvarnished story for

the first time--from his sometimes troubled childhood in inner-city

Detroit to his difficult transition at Notre Dame, to a pro coach

who almost caused him to quit the game, to a trade for the ages

that resulted in ten glorious seasons with the Pittsburgh

Steelers.

As a chunky child wearing glasses, Jerome’s only sports-related

aspiration was to become a professional bowler. But growing up in

one of the roughest neighborhoods in Detroit, he eventually found

his escape on the high school football field, thanks to the

devotion of hard-working parents, a concerned coach, and his

prodigious talent. He arrived at Notre Dame as one of the nation’s

best prep players, but despite his incredible performances, he

never stopped worrying that he would somehow blow his chance to

make good. Drafted and later discarded by the Los Angeles Rams, it

was in the football-obsessed city of Pittsburgh that Jerome found

his home and became a legend.

The Bus captures the sweetness and honesty of Bettis, but also

details the jaw-dropping, violent nature of the game he loved, the

mind-boggling injuries he endured, and the cut-throat NFL business

tactics he overcame and later mastered. Through it all, Jerome was

also a loving son, an adoring father, and the ultimate teammate and

mentor.

The Bus not only takes you under the helmet, but inside the

huddle, the locker room, the practice field, the negotiating table,

the owner’s office, and the Super Bowl sideline. You’ll learn how

Bettis became The Bus, how he helped engineer the greatest trade in

Steelers history, how he almost cost Pittsburgh a conference

championship, and how sweet it was to win—finally—one for the

thumb.
