Notre Dame legend Jerome Bettis will be induced into a bowl games Hall of Fame
The legend of Notre Dame football running back Jerome Bettis continued on Thursday, as the Cotton Bowl announced that he will be inducted into its Hall of Fame on Friday.
'The Bus' went off in the 1993 edition of the game, as the Irish beat an undefeated Texas A&M team that was 12-0 coming into the contest. Bettis ran for 75-yards on 20 carries for two scores and caught another. It would be the final contest that he would wear the Blue and Gold, as he'd leave early for the NFL following the contest.
It's just another feather in Bettis' cap, as he's been inducted into the Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Honor, the Pittsburgh Pro Football Hall of Fame, along with winning Super Bowl XL and being a 6-time Pro Bowler. He was also named as of NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1993, the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year in 2001 and the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 1996.
It has been a memorable career for Bettis, and this is just another honor added to an impressive list of his.

PFF ranked Baltimore Ravens' Kyle Hamilton as the best safety in the NFL.
PFF ranked Baltimore Ravens' Kyle Hamilton as the best safety in the NFL. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Ravens have a rich tradition on defense, and now they have something else that fits that tradition ... Advertisement As they employ one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL in safety Kyle Hamilton, and he will be looking to lead the team to the same success they had in 2024 this season. In a recent article by PFF's Zoltán Buday, he ranks who he believes are the top 32 safeties in the NFL heading into the 2025 season. And at the top spot, he has the 24-year-old Ravens star stealing the show. "Hamilton showed off his versatility in 2024, moving to free safety for most of the second half of the season after playing mainly in the box or as a slot cornerback initially," Buday wrote. "He was also the most complete safety in the league as the only player at the position to earn at least an 88.0 PFF grade in coverage, run defense and pass rushing." The Ravens selected Hamilton out of Notre Dame with the 14th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and they have not looked back since. Advertisement He finished the 2024 season with a very impressive 107 total tackles, with 77 of them being solo. Hamilton was also able to show his ball-hawk skills by snagging an interception and defending nine passes. The Ravens lost to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional round this past season, so Hamilton and the rest of the team's defense will be looking to help lead the team back to the playoffs to redeem themselves.

Lambourn wins English Derby to give trainer Aidan O'Brien his 11th victory at the classic
Associated Press EPSOM, England (AP) — Lambourn raced away from the pack to win the English Derby on Saturday, giving Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien his 11th win at the classic race. Lambourn set the pace early and then pulled away down the final stretch to win by about 3 1/2 lenghts. The 3-year-old colt, ridden by Wayne Lordan, entered the race at 13-2 after losing to 2-1 favorite Delacroix at Leopardstown in March. But Delacroix never looked like challenging this time and finished ninth. Lazy Griff (50-1) was second and Tennessee Stud came third. It was O'Brien's third consecutive win at the showpiece race. 'Wayne gave him him an incredible ride," O'Brien said. 'Everybody knew what he was going to do, he's very straightforward, Wayne knew he'd stay so he went forward." Lambourn was sired by 2014 Derby winner Australia, who in turn was sired by 2001 victor Galileo. 'It's incredible for everyone that we trained Australia to win the Derby and his sire as well, Galileo. I'm just a small part of it, everybody puts in so much, I can't tell you what a privelege it is," O'Brien said. 'Australia was a great Derby winner and his horses are so straightforward, just like him." ___ AP horse racing: in this topic
