They forgot to mention what a joy he was to watch, sailing across the field, making leaps worthy of a ballet dancer. (Ballet dancers are second only to football players in strenuous training, btw)

He’s the reason I started watching football again.

I wish him a long and very happy life.

Although reading this kind of concerned me.

Troy Polamalu says he’s had eight or nine recorded concussions, lied to get in games

While certainly I admire his tenacity and his work ethic of playing while hurt, I pray it eventually doesn’t catch up with him as we’ve seen with so many other former NFL players.
