The Super Bowl Hair Show Troy Polamalu vs Clay Matthews

It seems hair is the main subject early in this Super Bowl as Troy Polamalu and Clay Matthews have plenty of it. Polamalu hair is sponsored, and reportedly insured for $1 million, by Head & Shoulders. Matthews for his part has signed a one-year deal with Unilever’s Suave brand. The deal includes media appearances before and after the Super Bowl and a production day should the company want to film a commercial with him. All of this from their hair, but luckily for both players they have much more going for themselves.

Both attended USC and both are All-Pros on defense for their respective teams and each one can have a big impact on this years Super Bowl. Many people may talk about their hair, but the truth is both are excellent football players. In fact they may be two of the best defensive players in the NFL. Each one brings a special talent to the table and that includes a great set of hair. No matter who wins the Super Bowl the one thing that is for sure we have never had hair talk before.

Can The Jets Stop The Steelers?

This could be one of the best AFC Championship games in a very long time. The New York Jets travel to Pittsburgh to see who will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Most people are picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to move on. I am not in the thinking as I think the Jets can stop the Steelers. Many people are overlooking what the Jets have done, so far in the playoffs. Beating Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in consecutive weeks on the road was impressive.

If the Jets want to win they will need to do a few things. The first thing that they must have happen is not turn the ball over. This means Mark Sanchez must play mistake free if they want to win. Santonio Holmes is a guy who must play big, and I think he will. Holmes use to be a Steeler and even though he said he holds no grudges the way he was sent packing had to hurt. Look for him to have a big game against the Steelers.

On defense the Jets must stop the run when the Steelers have the ball. To beat Big Ben you must make him one dimensional to beat him. If he is forced to pass he will make plays, but he will also make mistakes as well. He does not protect the ball all the time in the pocket either. The Jets can win this game and I like them to win 21-14.

Pittsburgh Beats No. 1 UConn 76-68

UConn knew they were going to have their hands full with the Pitt Panthers College Basketball team and that is exactly what happen as Pitt upset UConn by a score of 76-68. Pitt's Dejuan Blair scored 22 points and grabbed 23 rebounds in one of the most physical games in the Big east in a very long time. Players were hitting the floor, elbows flying everywhere and trash talking at an all-time high as well.

The one great thing about this game is you had two heavyweights battling each other neither one wanted to give an inch. Both teams will be in the NCAA tournament and could play each other again in the Big Dance. Look for them to play each other before that though as the Big East tournament championship game could come down to these two teams once again and I am sure it will be a war once again.

Ravens vs Steelers A War This Weekend

If you are all about defense than you will want to catch the Baltimore Ravens as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game. Pittsburgh picked by many to go to the Super Bowl at the start of the season is not a surprise here, but the Ravens are. Everyone knew they would have a great defense and they do, but Joe Flacco has come on and made all the right decision when it counted and now he is just one game away from a Super Bowl.

This game may come down to who has the less turnovers. I see both defenses playing well and not a lot of points will be scored. It will be a fun game to watch and Sunday morning stop back and I will make my pick. (I have not decided yet who i like in this game.

Steelers Push Around Seahawks

The Pittsburgh Steelers know that the Arizona Cardinals game wasn't what they were all about. After losing to them the Steelers decide it was time to get back to Steeler football and that is just what they did. By running it at you and daring you to get in their way. The Seattle Seahawks were in the way and Wille Parker made sure they knew he was coming right at them. This reminded me of the old Steeler beat downs in the old days.

Give the Pittsburgh Steelers credit for not letting the Arizona cardinal game effect them and roll all over the Seahawks. This was a statement game for Indianapolis and New England. The Steelers were telling everyone were not going anywhere and in the end you will hear from us again.
