Bus parks in Peacock nest

Well, look who just stepped into the booth. It's former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis, the pudgy little fellow who recently ended his football career in storybook fashion with an XL Super Bowl win in his hometown of Detroit. NBC announced Monday that Bettis will join the network’s in-studio broadcast team for Sunday night games. However, the new broadcasters’ first game with Football Night in America will be a Thursday night contest in Pittsburgh when the Steelers receive their Super Bowl XL rings and open the NFL season Sept. 7 against a yet-to-be-named opponent, that according a report on NFL.com. Too bad Bettis didn’t join the ESPN Monday Night Football gang. He could have been Tony Kornheiser’s Bus.
