Listening to local radio this morning, and the newscasters are talking about the DEN/PIT game. One of them has come up with a "cute" top 10 reasons why DEN will beat PIT. Reason #1 is no man should have longer hair than his wife or mother, so Polamalu shouldn't be playing - or soemthing of that nature. Pretty banal unfunny schtick, which is fine, it's harmless.Then another newscaster starts in with why it's legal to tackle someone by their hair, citing Ricky Williams a couple of years ago. The female newscaster then chimes in, "They ought to tell John Lynch about that Pittsbirgh guy so he can go out & tackle him by his hair."
She has absolutely no clue as she is speaking that Lynch & Polamalu are both defensive players & that the odds of them ever meeting on the field of play are slim & none, and Slim just road out of town...Then listening on a local talk show, someone actually references this & comes up with this 5 minute scheme about how Shanahan should send Putzier down the field and then he should grab Polamalu by the hair & swing him around & tackle him by the hair, and that would take Polamalu out of the rest of the game mentally because he would be worried about his hair.
I know that uninterested fans start getting interested in local teams when the playoffs come around, but do they really feel such a great need to open their mouths & show everyone what complete ignoramouses that they are?
