    Honestly wasnt expecting that, but he is a hell of a player who impacts every game. Congrats!

    That is alright. Clay has something to prove now in the SB.

    Exactly. 5 tackles, 3 sacks and a forced fumble should do it.

    Yep, definitely thought it would be Clay Matthews. Polamalu made a few big plays this season for sure, and of course, he's my wife's favorite, so I'm happy:D


    He will have his hands full on Sunday that's for sure. I'm worried. Very worried.

    Don't worry. Us Packer fans are worried as well. Mutual respect. Packers are favorites by 2.5 points but that doesn't give me much confidence.

    Classy! And yes I would have liked to have see it go to Matthews also but Troy is a game changer! Congrats to him!

    not taking anything away from matthews as i think he deserved it, but what did you expect him to say, really?? "he's a d!ck and doesn't deserve it!! damn nfl!!" of course he's going to say something classy like this...

    TP is a helluva player, he deserved it as much as matthews did... polamalu is a great player and IMHO if he elevates his game sunday he is the key to steelers winning... if he has an average game it will hurt the steelers in ways that will allow packers to win this game walking away... he's that critical to their defense against GB... if matthews has an all-pro day and TP doesn't, GB wins.

    Have you seen what players are tweeting these days? There is NO filter in place in most instances (from an internal, self-induced perspective); a person need look no further than Jay Cutler's recent inability to go back into the game to see that, and the tweets that eminated from around the league from its players.

    It definitely says a lot about Matthews in my opinion. Classy response.
