Troy Polamalu's Hair Insured for $1 Million

(AP)  Just call Troy Polamalu the man with the million dollar hair.

The long, flowing black hair that tumbles out of Polamalu's helmet and down his back - it's nearly three feet long - has been insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders, the shampoo brand that is endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers safety.

The insurance was obtained through Lloyd's of London, which did not reveal what must be done to Polamalu's hair for anyone to collect on the policy.

Polamalu's hair has been targeted by an opposing NFL player at least once - the Chiefs' Larry Johnson tackled Polamalu by the hair during a 49-yard interception return in a 2006 game.

Polamalu, a five-time Pro Bowl player, wears his hair long as a tribute to his Samoan heritage.

He looks ridiculous. There should be a mandatory dress code, including length of hair. I sure wouldn't want his flapping hair whipping at me while playing the game. Makes it easier to take him down by his hair. I'll make it a point not to buy any of those products.

Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder, apparently.

Just look at all who go through life looking like they fell face first into a tackle box.....

Quick someone find a helmet that's big enough for that overgrown head of hair.

WOW !!! I didn't think Polamalu had THAT much hair.

Oh, please. Eyerolls aplenty. Head shaking aplenty. The only thing that hair deserves is a haircut.

I'll never get insurance from Lloyds of London from now on that's for sure.

Come on, really ?!?

1) How the bloody hell is this news?

2) This is a ridiculous waste of money.

3) I am glad that i dont use their products.
