Even if you don’t know his name, you might have seen his hair. His name is Troy Polamalu and his long dark locks are often seen cascading from the back of his Pittsburgh Steelers helmet.
No, it’s not a wig. The three foot long mane is not only genuine, it’s now valued at $1 million dollars.
No joke. Yahoo news gives us the skinny:
You’d think that an All-Pro safety who missed 11 games in 2009 due to a knee injury would be most concerned about other body parts, but Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Troy Polamalu(notes) also has endorsements to consider. One of his endorsements is with the Head & Shoulders company, which makes sense when you consider Polamalu’s famed three-foot-long hair. It’s a tribute to his Samoan heritage, and it’s not something he plans to cut anytime soon.
Apparently the insurance carrier, Lloyd’s of London, has done publicity stunts like this before, insuring Tina Turner’s legs, Keith Richard’s fingers, Jimmy Durante’s nose, and Celine Dion’s pipes!
Do they insure J-lo’s badunkadunk?
If I was famous, I wonder what they’d insure of mine? My big mouth?

I LOVE THAT GUY!! GO STEELERS!!
I find it interesting that there is no NFL rule that prohibits hair grabbing, pulling etc. Of course he’s a defensive back so there wouldn’t be many opportunities to tackle him but he has 654 interceptions a year which do make for an opportunity to tackle him. I’d grab that junk like Fabio grabs a horse’s mane riding down a deserted beach. In my hatred for the steelers I may have drifted into a weird place there.
I want a blog on Ben Reouthleoussburrgher. How in the world is he still a sweetheart to so many. Woman abusing, reckless, selfish, overrated jerk. Oh yeah go Titans.
