Been reading the recaps of the Super Bowl. Just came across this line in an article about Jerome Bettis who retired after winning the game. Here is what some dude wrote about him, “The image that will endure from Super Bowl XL? Jerome Bettis, beaming and clutching the Vince Lombardi Trophy in his pudgy hand.”
Nice. The guy is the 5th leading rusher all time in the NFl. But the image that will endure is his pudgy hand. Why did the writer include ‘pudgy’? Was it that necessary? When Billy Wilder won his Lifetime Achievement Oscar, was the enduring image his smiling shriveled face?
