"Bettis is still my hero, but he did cause me to have a heart attack, so I have no choice but to sue him." [/not actually in the article]

"The Steelers won the game and I'm still alive, so I guess I'm doing pretty good."


Notice the Steelers winning comes before the being alive part, lol.

Looks like he and his team both survived the fumble.

I've thrown pillows, food, even (non-breakable) plates, but a heart attack is taking it a little far.

If he is telling the truth, he needs to get a life. A heart attack over a game, what a loser.

I did not have a dog in this fight, but after all the horrible officiating I was screaming like a idiot when Bettis fumbled and the Colts guy pick it up and ran. I couldn't believe that Pittsburgh might lose this game after overcoming what they had to overcome.

I saw the last ten minutes of that game and I almost had a heart attack (and I'm not a fan of either team!)

Let's get down to brass tacks... did he go back to his pork rind hoagie after he was discharged?

In a similar story, a 76 yr. old Longhorn fan died minutes after the team from Texas won their 4th National Championship. His wish, before the game, was to live long enough to see Texas win another title. His family said; "He died a very happy man". True Story!

Amen... My wife apparently was trying to talk to me for like 30 seconds after the fumble, I was just staring at the TV not responding.

Yes, I need to get a life.
