Tonight might be the last home game for the Steelers great. But he's not looking back -- or forward
The gray is the giveaway. It is in the man’s beard and famous hair, which has sold countless bottles of shampoo. Steelers safety Troy Polamalu isn’t as young as he used to be. Tonight’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals could be his final game at Heinz Field. This season likely is his final NFL season.
Mr. Polamalu won’t confirm any retirement plans. “It’s hard to talk years when you live day to day. That’s the thing football has taught me more than anything. Anybody who’s ever tried to make plans with me understands that. If you want to meet me in two weeks for lunch, I’m not making those plans. I live day to day. I’m not going to plan for our playoff game [next weekend] because I don’t know what’s going to happen to me this week. I respect time. I respect life enough not to make those plans.”
