Pittsburgh Steelers' safety Troy Polamalu will likely sit out one game, possible more, after spraining a knee in Sunday's 19-16 over-time loss to the New York Jets. Prior to the upset loss, the Steelers-D has been on top of its game, allowing an average of 40 less yards per game than any other franchise team. A good chunk of that impressive defensive stat belongs to Polamalu's versatility in his ability to read the quarterback and anticipate the direction of the play.
Lucky for the Steelers, they play next Monday night at home where they are still a perfect 5-0 on the season. Double lucky, if they have to go without Polamalu, they are going up against the Miami Dolphins (0-10)...a team even Notre Dame has a good chance of beating. Well...no...I take that back. Sad-Sad Notre Dame.

If the news wasn't bad enough for USC already, it ends up the Trojans' curse has trickled into the NFL. First Steelers' safety and former USC stand-out, Troy Polamalu was side-lined with damaged rib cartilage. Now it's Matt Leinart. Leinart was already upset about sharing quarterback time with Kurt Warner. Now, thanks to a broken-collar bone, Warner's going to be taking all the snaps.
Matt Leinart was injured during a second-quarter sack, while playing for a 34-31 win against the St. Louis Rams. Regarding how long Leinart would be out, first year coach Ken Whisenhunt had this to say:
"We don't know how long it's going to be," Whisenhunt said. "But it's going to be for an extended period of time."

Pro Football Hall of Fame - Photo from Virtual Tourist
ESPN has just released its list of the top 50 of people destined for the pro-football hall of fame. And what school tops the list with the greatest number of hall-bound players? Oh yeah…that's USC. Trojan players on the list include: Junior Seau, Troy Polamalu, Reggie Bush, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Lofa Tatupu. For those of you amputees missing a second hand to count on, that’s a total of six players from USC, which interestingly enough is equal to the combined number of ALL the SEC players that made the list.
