(from what was told to me by a longstanding employee)
So I and a friend drive up to Latrobe and park in line to go into the parking lot, when it opens. We get out and walk up to the beginning of the tents. A fan and his son walk with us, 5 people in total.We are bullshitting back n forth. Talking about various players, this that and the other. The employee asks if we heard the story about Polamalu? The one about how generous he is?(I asked) He says no. I replied oh ok let's hear it then. He tells me that back when Polamalu played football, a priest unfamiliar with the Steelers approached him. The priest gave him some bread. Troy thinking it as odd took the bread. The next time the priest sees Troy a repeat performance. He slides him some bread. When the next time rolls around Troy is hellbent on not accepting any bread offered.The priest and Troy start pushing the bread back n forth.
He asks another priest what is going on, who finally gets to the bottom of it.
Well apparently the priest unfamiliar with the Steelers thought Polamalu was a homeless bum. So he gave the bread thinking Troy must be hungry.
Careful of those first impressions!
