    He was a beast at USC and he was a beast in Pittsburgh. Has there ever been a quieter retirement of an all-time great than Troy Polamalu? My favorite play is when he ran over his former USC roommate--Carson Palmer--for a touchdown after a turnover. I loved this guy...and I'm a Cowboys fan.

      I watched Troy play at Douglas High School in Winston Oregon. He played offense and defense and was on the field for the entire game. One time Douglas lost the football in a fumble, Palamalu stayed on the field as Douglas went on Defense. Next play when the pileup climbed apart Troy had the football, Douglas was back on offense.

      When he made the goal-line stop against the Titans by perfectly timing a dive over the O-line and taking Collins down before the QB sneak even got going, I remember someone commenting that Troy was so good at making the impossible look routine that the other Steelers defenders didn't even look that impressed.
