    Yeah...agree. It's really bullshit. Anyone know a contact to write to for that? I'm not one to write and complain but the announcement was made last night....still nothing in the morning on the website about him? Please...that's just fucking terrible...

    Vaya con Dios, Amigo.

    I was actually hoping he'd play one more year. I think our safety situation is precarious, and, at this point, who gives a shit about cap room. Not like there's anyone out there left to get anyway.

    The best description of Troy I've ever heard, I heard this morning on NFL AM:

    "Artfully destructive." That's awesome. I didn't catch who said it.

    Well, I knew it was time and I knew it was coming, but I am still very sad. He is by far, my favorite player of all time. I am going to miss him. Thank you Troy for bringing so much to the game. You will be missed. I will always be Palamalu Princess!

    Angel Baby Faith our one and only 1/11/00 - 9/9/16 We love you.

    Man, saw it coming like everyone else but still makes you give a moment of silence for once-in-a-generation player and a star human being at that. One of the all-time greats at his position.

    Thanks for all the incredible memories, Troy! You'll be missed.

    Selfishly, I think he could have played another season or two if he'd drop about 25 lbs. But my non selfish self is glad that he one, retiring a Steeler and two, retired before concussions made him go nuts like several former NFL players. Troy had them in college and I can't even count how many he had with us. His shoulder tackling style left him susceptible to more of them too.

    Good luck to a Godly man off the field, but a demon on it! You will be missed Troy.
    BLAH!!!Forever loving and missing you Gal.

    I think Troy's tackling style can best be described as hurling his body full speed at the ballcarrier with total disregard for his own physical well being.

    It's too bad it had to end like this.

    Hopefully it does end like this, and not in Cardinals red.
