Troy Polamalu Has Retired

That's just us getting old cause I remember it too very clearly. Gotta love trading up on a USC boy from Oregon. What a trade that was!!!!

 

This for sure!!!!

 

SPANISH: Gracias por todo Troy, eres mi jugador favorito, bendiciones en tu vida!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks for everything Troy, you're my favorite player, blessings in your life!!!!!!!!)

 

A great player, sad to see him go but the right time.

 

Good choice Troy thanks for your service.

Just a quick question for you stat people? Of
Troy's 12 year career how many games did he miss?

 

This is a sad day for us Steeler fans but at some time it all comes to an end. We all know Troy was on his way out it just hurts when that day comes.

Troy thank you for 12 years of pleasure, 12 years of giving everything you had and 12 years of being a class act on and off the field. You will be missed but know you can never be forgotten. I am hoping to see Troy in some kind of roll with the coaching staff in the future.

Although this is a sad day this is also a day to reflect on what TP has given to us and this great football team. I consider myself a lucky man to have watched this man play and play at such a great level...........

 

Hard to imagine the Steelers without Troy.
This is going to take a little time to get used to. One of the all time greats for sure.

 

A gifted man with a great disposition. Enjoy the next chapter of your life going forward!!

Love Rich & Chris

 

Thank you Troy for an outstanding career. You will be missed!

 

This was the greatest moment I witnessed live. The place went nuts, erupted, people hugging, was a thing of beauty.

Troy will go down as one of the greatest Steelers as he should. His path to Canton is paved with greatness. I'm glad he decided to retire. Even time catches up with the greatest. Thank you Troy for what you brought not only to the Steelers but the game of football...

 

A brilliant player who left his indelible mark on the Steeler family... I will miss seeing that hair flash across my TV screen. Thanks for the memories. Enjoy the next phase of your life.

Go Steelers!

 

So long and thanks for all the fish.

 

I have grown up watching the hair run all over the field. Going to miss him. Thank you Troy

 

I'm not as clairvoyant as you. I just got up to pee.

 

Greatness.

My favorite player of all time. He'll be missed, but he made the right call. His family beckons!

 

Just learned it this morning from a news article. Agree with all the good wishes and gratitude expressed here. Special thanks to ThrowToHeath for posting that all time wonderful clip! Ahh -- the memories and all those years of greatness. Thanks, Troy!

would be hard to replace him ...

 

I am crushed. Troy has been my guy for so long. Yes, I know it was time- doesn't make it any easier. I need a few days to process this. One thing I do know, is that I will be making a trip to Canton in five years

 

Was a pleasure to watch Troy make plays. Whether it be jumping the other teams center for a sack running someone down for a crucial tackle or making a much needed interception. (The pick 6 of Carson Palmer was my fave)

Sad but needed we will still miss you sir.

 

TROY!!!!! enough said.

 

I can honestly say that Troy was so awesome that I think he would have been one of my all time favorite players even if he DIDN'T play for us. But the fact that he did is just icing on the cake.

 

Well if we take my MINI we've got two seats left. So people had better get on it. LOL.

 

My thoughts exactly. I'll miss seeing him on the field very much, but I wouldn't want him to play another year or two and end up going out on a sour note.
