Just call Troy Polamalu the man with the million dollar hair.


FOX SPORTS POLL
Is Polamalu's hair worth $1 million? Yes, it's worth every penny No, it's just hair
The long, flowing black hair that tumbles out of Polamalu's helmet and down his back - it's nearly three feet long - has been insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders, the shampoo brand that is endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers safety.

The insurance was obtained through Lloyd's of London, which did not reveal what must be done to Polamalu's hair for anyone to collect on the policy.

Polamalu's hair has been targeted by an opposing NFL player at least once - the Chiefs' Larry Johnson tackled Polamalu by the hair during a 49-yard interception return in a 2006 game.

Polamalu, a five-time Pro Bowl player, wears his hair long as a tribute to his Samoan heritage.

I think its silly, but you can insure anything nowadays. How long before porno stars start insuring their units & their breasts. But whatever, if you can do it and want to do it, then I guess whose to say its dumb.

BALTIMORE -- The visiting locker room had emptied out at M&T Bank Stadium late Sunday night with the exception of one player.

Before boarding the team bus, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin took one last peek inside the room and noticed a large group of media was still hovering around a locker while the shower was still running in the bathroom.

"You all waiting on Troy Polamalu to wash his hair?" asked a smiling Tomlin. "It's going to be a while."


Tomlin then walked over to the bathroom and screamed in the shower to Polamalu: "Are you washing your hair? I'm not leaving you, man. Take your time."

The entire Steelers team and the media were willing to wait for Polamalu, because he's always on time when it counts during the game.

Its silly, but Head and Shoulders found their guy.

Mike Tomlin stood outside the visitors locker room at M&T Bank Stadium as two Baltimore cops smushed a Pittsburgh Steelers fan's face against a white cinder block wall. The fan, wearing a LaMarr Woodley jersey, began screaming in pain as the cops pulled his arms behind his back and began to lead him away.

"Be cool, buddy," said the Steelers coach. "Tomlin," said the man between screams, "I love you, baby!"

What a great play Polamalu made last night. After watching the Steeler offense struggle all night, that play and then the Pitt TD put money in my pocket and made for a peaceful sleep. Thank you Mr. Polamalu !
