The Facts:
Bettis wanted to roll out of the NFL with a Super Bowl title in his hometown of Detroit. Sunday, he got his wish, as the Steelers gave him a championship send-off with a 21-10 victory in Super Bowl XL at Ford Field. Bettis announced his retirement from the NFL after the game. "I came back to win a championship," Bettis said. "Mission accomplished. With that, I have to bid farewell."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bettis finishes as the league's fifth-leading rusher with 13,662 regular-season yards and 91 touchdowns. But football fans haven't seen the last of him. Bettis is expected to entertain offers from a number of television networks interested in "The Bus" as an analyst.
