I talk about all things sports. Anything from Football to Soccer to Baseball to Hockey. I'll give you a recap of games, my take on what I saw, as well as what the stats say. Also will be putting out a podcast of what is said in the blog.

Polamalu Overrated
Hey All,
Sorry that it has been a long time since I've posted anything, but I'm back and here we go. Today I heard the funniest thing that I think I have ever heard, in the sporting world. A Columnist for CBS said that Safety Troy Polamalu is an overrated player. This man could not be more wrong. Polamalu is by far the best Safety in the league. The only other player who could give Troy a run for his money would be Edd Reed of Baltimore. If Polamalu is an "overrated" player then how is it that he has had 6 to 7 interceptions a year, jumps over the line of scrimmage and make a tackle behind the line, and just last year was named Defensive player of the year? The answer to this question would be, he's not overrated. You don't put up the numbers that he has put up in his career and be considered to be an overrated player. Polamalu in his career has had 516 tackles, 8 forced fumbles, and 27 interceptions, and he's only played 9 years. Just last year he had 63 tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 7 interceptions. I just can't believe the nerve of this man to say such a ridiculous statement, and to post it to a high standing website like CBS. The man is a good columnist, don't get me wrong, but this is not one of his better stories. If he was doing this to get readers, he will probably loss just as many readers as he gained with this story. This "columnist" should just stick to the facts, and maybe he will gain real fans who know what they are talking about with football. Another thing he could do is, just not cover football anymore, or just pick a new team to rag on.
