Comments on: Interview with Troy from NBC Off the Bench https://troy43.com/2011/04/13/interview-with-troy-from-nbc-off-the-bench/ The official website of Troy Polamalu, Strong Safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers Sat, 06 Dec 2025 18:21:42 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Isabella https://troy43.com/2011/04/13/interview-with-troy-from-nbc-off-the-bench/#comment-5074 Isabella Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:46:55 +0000 http://troy43.com/?p=878#comment-5074 My mom is a huge Steelers fan, and even when I was little and didn't understand football at all, you were so fun to watch. Now, I am a major Steelers fan living smack in the middle of Ravens country. I get a lot of trash from it at school and sometimes it just seems like so much work to have to defend myself for wearing a Steelers jersey. But then there is a game and I get that giddy, happy feeling in my stomach when you win. All I can do is smile and my stomach does little summersaults. And one time, I dressed up as you for Halloween! It was awesome, it was probably one of my happiest Halloweens. Even now, thinking about the Steelers and you just makes me so happy. I love watching and reading your interviews, you are so genuine. And Bob Marley is one of my favorites too. :) Last year I went to a Wailers concert where Michael Franti also performed. My mom always talks to me about the famous Steelers players from when she was a girl (like Terry Bradshaw, Joe Greene, and Franco Harris) and I know that when I talk about the Steelers to my children, you will be the player I always mention. My dream is to meet you like my mom met Franco Harris at a drug store when she was younger. She got a picture with him! Maybe I will run into you at a convenience store! Boy, that would be SO COOL! Thanks for giving me a reason to enjoy football and the whole Fall season! My mom is a huge Steelers fan, and even when I was little and didn’t understand football at all, you were so fun to watch.

When I was a child our house was gold with black trim, if that tells you anything. I just wanted to tell you that you are a class act through and through and I absolutely love the Head & Shoulders commercials. Hi Troy:

He has so much passion and love for people in general, But to be that way on the field is a huge blessing for him. I can see him pray before plays and after plays and everywhere in between. It takes a special person who is truely blessed to show the whole world who he truely is and what he is about on and off the field. I love troy for the person he is and the talent he has. God bless the Steelers and STEELER nation! Peace to all. I have never seen such a humble God loving sports person as troy.

I couldn't see you playing for any other team although I may have to eventually someday, as long as it's not in the same division especially the "old browns", or the cowboys. Yuck just thinking it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, excuse my while i go rinse my mouth out. thanx for signing the cross after every play, the networks are showing other players and other athletes in different sports doing it now. it may seem like a small thing to do but it is making a difference.
