Can we agree on a few things this morning? Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is more athletic than you. He makes more money than you. He has more fame than you. He has better hair than you.
I know, the truth hurts.
Sorry.
But there is one thing you and Polamalu have in common.
"Of course, I worry about getting hurt -- every day and every game," he said.
You worry about him getting hurt, too.
That fear seems especially palpable as the 5-1 Steelers get ready to take on the New Orleans Saints tonight in what should be a throbbing Louisiana Superdome. That's because star defensive end Aaron Smith went down and out with a torn left triceps muscle in the win against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday and could be lost for the season. Injuries to Smith and Polamalu last season sabotaged the team's defense, its 6-2 start and its Super Bowl plans. The same thing can't happen again, right?.............
