Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Jerome Bettis pulls up on ALL THE SMOKE. The Bus wasn't even a football kid: he grew up in Detroit bowling alleys and learned to play tailback in one week because Lou Holtz didn't trust his freshmen. He takes Matt and Stak inside his rookie year in LA, what Michael Jordan told him after he shot 102 on the golf course and the prayer he said on the bench after the fumble in Indy. Hear the real story behind the Thanksgiving coin toss, how a pregame fight launched James Harrison's career, and why he played in a Super Bowl for free. This one is a reminder of who kept The Bus on the road.
