It's not quite the harbinger of doom of, say, Joey Porter taking one in the backside just before the 2003 season, or Big Ben helmetlessly head-butting asphalt four months after winning Super Bowl XL, but if the Steelers' tank in 2009 I'm blaming Troy Polamalu.
This Head & Shoulders commercial featuring the Steelers safety aired during Sunday night's Miami-Florida St. game and, well, it's not exactly Terry Tate, office linebacker-type stuff.
On the upside, you can waste time by typing words into a box and watching Polamalu "tackle it," which I suppose makes it slightly better than updated Mean Joe Greene-Coke commercial. So there's that.
