Tell him to swing by the NFL experience. That's definitely worth the time.

I'm all steelers... loved seeing 'em crush Flaco..

Though that hit on McGahee was brutal...

My prediction... game will be ok, but steelers shouldn't have too big a problem with AZ. AZ looked really strong 1st half against Phi, but they almost blew it.

Steelers 24-17

having been raised in Steubenville (across the river from Three Rivers Stadium) and been taught to respect practicing Catholics (the Rooney family), i am a devout Steelers fan--and am PROUD to be playing against the Cardinals, whose success has undoubtedly come from their coaches having gotten their experience during their Pittsburgh tenure. no matter what, it will be an incredible game with incredible history behind it.

that being said, i respect the Cardinals greatly--but am still gonna wear my Polamalu jersey when it's all said and done.

Steelers 27-21.

Polamalu: Real-Deal Christian

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 7:38 PM


Sports Illustrated cover featuring Steelers safety Troy Polamalu.It’s rare to find a sports star who is both at the absolute top of his sport and who is deeply committed to his Christian faith.

Here’s one: Troy Polamalu, the all-pro strong safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yesterday, Polamalu’s spectacular 40-yard interception return for a touchdown served as the exclamation point in the Steelers’ 23-14 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game in Pittsburgh. The win vaulted the Steelers into the Feb. 1 Super Bowl against the NFC champion Arizona Cardinals.

That kind of game-breaking play is something that Steelers fans have come to expect from Polamalu. A profound commitment to his faith is something that Polamalu’s family, friends and teammates have also come to expect from him.

Earlier reports about Polamalu indicated he is Catholic, but according to this recent interview with Yahoo Sports he is actually Greek Orthodox. Every Tuesday, on his day off from practice, he and his wife Theodora travel to an Orthodox monastery near Pittsburgh to attend services there.

Here’s what Polamalu told Yahoo interviewer Jason Cole about how he orders his priorities in life:

How hard is it to get time at home during the season? I know guys like (Miami Dolphins linebacker) Zach Thomas stay at the facility until very late studying film and (Indianapolis Colts quarterback) Peyton Manning is watching film at home.
Troy Polamalu: First of all, I’m a Christian so my prayer life really comes first. Second of all, I’m a husband so my wife comes before anything else. If I have time to do anything else after that, I do it, but I don’t sacrifice any time with her.

A lot of guys do it the other way around. Football comes first. They say family and faith come first, but they really do the football first. How do you reconcile it?
It’s really easy for me. I love my faith and I know that’s first ... I really think I know what’s important in my life and that’s my faith and my wife.
