Bettis Writes Book, Reveals Controversy
Posted by SBG on Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 at 4:07 pm
No doubt motivated to move books, Jerome Bettis reveals that he faked the occurrence of an injury in training camp in 2000 to avoid being cut. In reality, he was already injured -- or rather recovering from an injury -- when he went down on a play in training camp. His new book is out Sept. 4. Andrew, I'm advising you not to put this one on your list.

As a Colts fan (see: 1995-96 AFC Championship Game) my hatred of the Steelers is enough to make me not read this, not to mention the underhandedness (both as a player and in marketing the book).
Here's a somewhat more inspiring -- if no less strange -- football story.
Shameless plug, but for you Division-III types out there, my brother runs http://www.d3football.com, http://www.d3hoops.com, and http://www.d3baseball.com... all of which are worth checking out I think. Oh, and click on a few ads so he can feed his kids
I fixed the links on this comment and clicked through to see the sites. Nice!
Awesome, thanks. Yeah, he's been doing these for a really long time... and it seems like there are lots of MIAC citizens of the Nation. I used to help some back in the day until life got in the way.
Very cool, Neil. I've bookmarked these and sent them along to some interested family members. Shameless plug of my own: A couple of quick clicks and I found two of my nephews athletic exploits: Bethel guard Tim and Gustavus SS Aaron.
MIAC: college sports the way it should be. (I'll give the same kudos to Carleton's former conference -- the Midwest Conference -- as well).
two things off the top of my head I love about the MIAC: St John's no-pads/no-contact football practices -- and "beautiful day" drill, and Carleton's Wednesday evening football practices (so players could schedule labs on wednesdays).
ok, three things. We used to bring a keg into the Carleton stadium for saturday afternoon games
Found out today that my realtor's son is a football player at Carleton.
I hadn't really paid any attention to MIAC until my brother started doing this and I covered a few games (even did some p!ss poor color analysis for a game or two). It's a lot of fun. Clearly the level of competition isn't the same, but the level of competitiveness sure is and that makes for some fun games.
