Rod Woodson Doesn't Like Jerome Bettis?

I was wondering why he would say that. I always figured Bettis was a shoe-in with his production, plus what he meant to the team and the fan base. Is there some bad blood between Ron and Jerome? Or between Jerome and the league or the team? I know Bettis criticized the Steelers play a bit last year, but I mean, come on. It was well deserved. The team was a mess for a good chunk of 2009. Is there something else I don't know about here?

It's obvious that Woodson is a troll, if he has an account here he should be banned immediately. How dare he.

I would think Bettis is a ridiculous shoe-in for the HOF.

Rod only got burnt when they were still trying to play him at corner after his injury.
Before then NO ONE in the NFL could burn him. He was the fastest man in the NFL.

Exactly. He's also third all-time in interceptions, and first all-time in INTs returned for touchdowns. You don't get those by being toast.

The hyperbole that gets slung around these boards is stunning, and for what purpose, I can't figure it. Habitual trollishness is only one explanation. There's got to be more to it than that.
