&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jerome Bettis&lt;/strong&gt; joined the show to break down the NFL as the midway point of the season approaches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bettis thinks that Redskins owner &lt;strong&gt;Daniel Snyder&lt;/strong&gt; finally spoke to the press because he's concerned about empty seats. Snyder said he was disappointed in the way the team was playing. But Bettis said that when you're a player, you don't care. You feel bad the team is losing as well. In other cases, Bettis said he was blamed for the team's problem when it wasn't fair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bettis said the Raiders have a responsibility to get someone in there to really work with &lt;strong&gt;JaMarcus Russell&lt;/strong&gt;. Bettis seems to think that Russell hasn't gotten a fair chance to develop into a real QB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bettis also shared some stories about the bottom of the pile in the NFL. Bettis said one guy, a former friend, punched him in the stomach. Bettis said that isn't part of football, and neither is eye-gouging.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And just for fun, here's the video of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#29042901&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dan beating Bettis&lt;/a&gt; in a race at last year's Super Bowl.&lt;/p&gt;
