Troy Polamalu is being honored by the Downtown YMCA today as their Person of the Year.  He is also forming a foundation to support war vets.  But the bigger story isn’t what he has done, so much as it is what he said regarding his actions, that urged me to write this.  His general attitude is something that players all over the league should pay close attention to, particularly those guys with tiger stripes on their helmets (and a guy in Atlanta who has a fondness for pit bulls).

Sayeth Troy: “I don’t really feel comfortable taking credit for anything.  To me it’s something we’re supposed to do.”

strong>Also sayeth Troy: “The easiest thing to do is to give money, especially when you have a high-paying job.  I think when you sacrifice time is when you really sacrifice something.”

Pay attention, players.  The standard to which you need to live has been set.
