Finally some trash-talking
With the Super Bowl just a few days away, Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens gave the Pittsburgh Steelers some bulletin board material.
He was talking about Steelers running back Jerome Bettis returning to his hometown of Detroit to compete for a Super Bowl ring.
"It's a heartwarming story and all that, but it will be a sad day when he leaves without that trophy," Stevens said in published reports.
Steelers linebacker Joey Porter wasn't at all happy about that. I wouldn't be either. Stevens said he wasn't guaranteeing a victory. I'm all for players showing confidence before big games. But, taking a shot at Bettis was uncalled for. Porter will be all too happy to make Stevens eat his words come Sunday.
