Bettis' Retires On Top

"I think the Bus' last stop is here in Detroit," Bettis said.

Jerome Bettis has indicated that Super Bowl XL would be his last game. Going out on top - with a Championship.

Bettis made his retirement official even before he left the field. He held the Super Bowl trophy aloft, said he was through, and then went to have some fun in the locker room.

"It's official, like the referee whistle," Bettis said.

Assuming it is official, Bettis leaves after rushing for the fifth-most yards in the history of the NFL.
