Monday dreaming

I had this fucked up dream last night. It started in my living room in a very Van Helsing type situation where my friends and I were harboring someone being pursued by a werewolf. Instead of automatic crossbows and Kate Beckinsale's tits we were armed with Wii nunchaku and drunken bravado. Fast forward and I'm on an alien world and I think I've stepped on a rock but instead it's either tiny alien civilization or a plantar wart and I'm really befuddled and OH MY GOD TROY POLAMALU IS AWESOME!

Did you fucking see the play in the 4th quarter with the game still very much in doubt? With Denver pinned deep inside their own territory trailing 14-10, Polamalu blows Correll Buckhalter up for no gain on the first play, then picks off Kyle Orton's pass on the next play. The rest of the defense could have just sat down and said "You got this one Troy?" With his flowing locks blowing in the Denver breeze, Polamalu answered in his lilting tenor, "I got this one."

Video of the interception here. Picture from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette of Polamalu's spectacular one-handed interception in week 1 below.
