Don't touch that hair. Hines Ward makes cutting motions around Troy Polamalu's hair during the Steelers' final preseason game Sept. 2. Only a few days earlier, it was reported that Head & Shoulders, for which Polamalu is a spokesman, had ensured his hair for $1 million. 2010



Steelers defenders call it the "mush rush," a name given by line coach John Mitchell to the different form their pass rush takes against quarterbacks who can run. They say that is what quarterback Dennis Dixon should see from the Atlanta Falcons' defense this afternoon......................

There is no such thing as a 500% reduction in pay, mathematically speaking. Summers would have to give back five times his salary to the team. It was about an 80% decrease in pay. You can have a 500% increase in pay.

He will get a chance to play both fullback and halfback in practice on the Steelers' scout team or show team, the guys who line up against the first teams as that week's opponents. Summers wore the No. 33 of Atlanta halfback Michael Turner in practice all last week.

Well what happened? How did Summers run? I hate when an article only tells you part of a story.
