For those of you that don't understand the context: The Colts had a fake FG play where Pat would run it to the left IF they were within 7 yards and on the left hash, because the C-Gap was "100% always open". He was excited to be getting his first TD, it was about to go down, and the team was hyped. But for SOME REASON, Troy Polamalu decided to hop into the C-Gap as Pat was giving his cadence, which obviously (and rightfully so) scared the shit out of him. So he made the right decision for his future and changed the play, although he never forgot how TP ruined his dream.
thank you bro. i kinda put 2 & 2 together but i wanted to know exactly what happened. theres so many different scenarios that coulda brought em to this moment, but you filled in all the gaps of my mental process. now can you explain what is the c gap & why its called that. im pretty versed in american football, well more than the average joe, but not an expert. i know all the basic fundamentals & then some. but all these advanced terms & certain play calls are foreign to me. so i try to learn every chance i get. appreciate your knowledge & input.
@@furmanparton6740 thank you for the knowledge. now i understand a lot of shit that i didnt before just off of that. now, is anyone allowed to line up in the c gap without getting an illegal formation call or just certain positions?
@@Thunder_prodz-nfl oh no doubt they were titans as well. The entire team; especially D, was absolutely supreme in that era. But Polamalu somehow stood above them all as this ELECTRIC playmaker One of those players who makes you feel that deep dread in your gut if your team is trying to drive down field against him
@@cald1421 oh yeah for sure he was one of the smartest nfl players of all time it was always fun to watch him and peyton manning go at each others throats cause they would just make audables from what the other did it was crazy
Chuck Pagano," WTF, man. Why did you audible out of YOUR play?!" Pat MacAfee, "Polmalive was in the C Gap ready to send me into concussion protocol." Chuck, "Good call, kid. You just lived to fight another day."
It sucks that Pat's own overexcitment about the "field goal" was what gave Troy that hunch to go to the c Gap. Troy was just one of a kind and a constant student of the game. Always finding ways to ruin your chances every week when he was on the field..
One of my favorite players. Steelers did him wrong in the end and he just retired. He would start off on the right side of the field see the play going left and somehow get there in time to intercept the ball or tackle the runner.
I think the funniest part of it all is how he mispronounced his name purposely. When he ran this segment he started off saying it the right way, then every subsequent time it was a different enunciation
Pat is brilliant for this. I never understood how so many QB,s seemed to not be able to notice Polamalu with all that hair flying around like a flag. Man was a beast.
"What did I see?! Just Palamaloo going right in the goddamn C gap" The amount of betrayal in his voice, you can really tell he hasn't forgotten the tragic occasion.
Every thought you've ever had has been "rent free"...that's how thinking works...try it sometime 😂 Pat was describing a specific play that had a lot to do with Troy's actions. Should he have charged Troy rent for being in the story? Or just never spoken about the past again, so as to not seem obsessed? Wouldn't that then make him seem "butthurt" about what Troy did on the play though? What a silly comment. By your logic, nobody should ever talk about anything. Nice contribution to the convo there bozo 😂
Imagine going out to try to block a field goal, the opposing field goal unit comes out onto the field, then the holder starts shouting like a madman telling everyone they're kicking it
Him grabbing him by the collar did not look like a “good job, what did you see” 😂 it was more like a “goddammit Mcafee, we’ve been practicing this fucking play for weeks and audible out of it, why??”
They had palamaloo on the pod later pat asked him why he was in the c gap. He said I seen you the holder pretty much skipping on the field with a big smile. So I knew something was up. Pat has no poker face
35 at tha freekin ½.. combo of great D and O. We Steeler fans will probably NVR see a team come close to those when we had Ben, Bettis Troy, Harrison.. 😞
Troy polomalu was probably the best playmaker i ever seen. He just noticed tells and signs that nobody else knew. It was like he had a 6th and 7th sense for the game
Honestly telling this story is when his life changed forever. Good for you Pat--not a huge fan of him moving to ESPN, but he's so consistently entertaining. This and the Jordan Love draft selection and Ty's reaction will forever be classic sports moments.
Pallamaloo im fukn dead…I had to play it back like who tf is he talkin about
It’s from the updated version of ‘Steelers are going to the Super Bowl’…when they beat the Seahawks in 06.
That was one of the best parts of the story. As the story went on, Polamalu's name got increasingly more ridiculous.
I had to take second watch
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone took the old Muppets Mahna Mahna song to Pallamaloo it's Polamalu.

Thx bro. I rewatched like 8 times and was like... He held it... Idk what's so special
Polamalu said the reason he went in the c gap was because Mcafee was way too excited to be kicking a field goal and he knew something was up

“What’d I see??? Pa-llama-loo!” Lmao. Yeah Polamalu had this effect on people. The mane and ferocity of a lion. His presence WAS the defense.
it's a stupid name and that is exactly how 90% of people would pronounce it if they didn't know the weird way it was "supposed" to be pronounced
Did Pat actually EVER get a TD?
not exactly cause during that time there was another monster on that defense james harrison and there was also brett kiesel and others

“Ed Reed would’ve made the tackle. Polamalu would’ve shaved years off my life.”
ED Reed would have hopped over the line, picked me up on his shoulder and carry me over to the endzone
I feel like the players were reversed
Who said that lol

What Polamalu turns into after using Head and Shoulders.
One of the best 'Nope!' stories EVER!!!
One of the funniest stories I’ve ever heard him tell
The best is still Peyton Manning and roulette.
Cringe
It's the funniest
The planned celebration on a point after to basically keep picking the flag up and do a new trick to make them disappear.
That's a business decision right there and a great one at that 👌🏿👏🏿😂😂😂

Wow... Steelers 35 at half time. First time scoring over 20 in reg season this season was week 11...
Bruh we had 3 weeks of 30+ and lost all of them , try watching the Steelers
@@the1andonlykk320 Pre season don’t count bro. But we have had a few 20 pint games
@@the1andonlykk320 There have only been 2x 30+ point games in the last two seasons. Are you high or just stupid?
It's Lowkey sad as a long time Steelers fan
Atleast the Steelers scored 20+ four time and 30 one time. Denver has only scored 20 or more twice!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This is literally one of my favorite sports stories. I've heard it 50 times, and I'll listen to it every time it's on
Poh-llama-Lou 🤣🤣🤣
It must be a nightmare holding a football and all you see is Troy staring down at you
mmmmm
The way he pronounces Polamalu is fucnung hilarious

i still get a good laugh.. even if i heard this story 2 days ago.

Thank you for this. The moment distilled perfectly in a super short reel
Troy didn’t read you, he read the sideline
Lol the video the cherry on top. The damn hand motions as he saying “we have to kick the ball” Pat is the man
Troy laying on the ground like why was he yelling?😂😂😂
Imagine going out to try to block a field goal, the opposing field goal unit comes out onto the field, then the holder starts shouting like a madman telling everyone they're kicking it
Polamalu...the elusive Pokémon.
His aura scared Pat couldnt even say his name right🤣🤣
The way he says Troy’s last name is golden lol
Palamaloo, the sister of Snufalufagus! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow 🤓🤣 I love his trunk!
Pallamaloo 😂 I thought I was tripping when he said that
Palomaluuuuu was a beast 💪 🖤💛
"what did u see pat"
"A fucking flying armbar"
I loved this story from him, pretty sure it’s what kicked everything off for him. Mans hilarious
everyone needs a little Pollaamaluuu in their lives. ha ha
Him grabbing him by the collar did not look like a “good job, what did you see” 😂 it was more like a “goddammit Mcafee, we’ve been practicing this fucking play for weeks and audible out of it, why??”
Why? Survival and 6months growth! That was polamaLoo in the C-gap!
Po' llama Lou
Looked to me like he realized Pat set aside his ego and desires by changing the play. That's a "Good job, son" if I've ever seen one.
@@chilboswaggins5500 he also feared for his life 😅 (it's worth hearing the entire story where this audio was taken from, it was great)
"what I see . . . Palomolou" Lol!
The crazy part is seeing Po law ma lu make his effort. He was definitely coming
Watching the play the fake might've worked. Guy on the right wasn't doing shit & Pollamalu got tooken care of.
@@PruthviG8true but hindsight is 65-75
@Fallout3131😂
Pitt put up 35 in the 1st half? AB was a baad man back then.

“Palamalu” 😂😂😂 Pat is a legend
But yeah very very smart call
Best episode to date. I was rollin
That defense was deadly 😂😂 the whole division defense was deadly
PAALLLLAMALOOOO
I like that dude , he wasn't even mad
35 at tha freekin ½.. combo of great D and O.
We Steeler fans will probably NVR see a team come close to those when we had Ben, Bettis Troy, Harrison.. 😞
Shit we cant even score that in 2 weeks of games now
Unfortunately that golden team coincided with the beginning of ultra scripted teams like the Cheatriots.
Our Steelers deserved 2 more rings at least.
Thank God for good men like you! You are a true blessing to mankind!
The way he said Polamalu’s last name is freaking fantastic 😂😂😂
PALAMALOO 😂😂😂 He's speaking bout Troy. "I be on that bullshit," Polamalu
“What did I see?” Always gets me
😂😂 TROYS IN THE C GAP, IM NOT RUNNING SHIT 😂😂
This is the most underrated part of the game that NO ONE talks about. Psychology
You can actually hear Pat howling 'KICK IT!' on the play.
Pa-Lama-Lou…. I almost died! Good choice my man, GOOD CHOICE! Hahaha
Palamalooo is too scary dad...😂😂😂
That's the one time that the offense shouted out the play call to BOTH teams. LOL.
The Grim Reaper just hanging out in the c gap.
Pamamalu just went right into the god damned c gap😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Pollamaloo is a indeed a scary islander!😂
Oh snap. Pat earned more respect for that one. Good job.
Troy said "I see you motioning, I'm here now"
Pomelo, pomjello, pomalelu, Pom Pom , pomsky, Pom prom 😂😂😂😂

I was like "who", for a second.
“Pollahmahloo”😂
Troy Polamalu’s response later when asked why he lined up on the C Gap: “I saw him too excited on the sidelines" 😂
And that’s why Pat is still alive.
Pat still trembles when he says Polamalus name😂😂😂
That’s a high scoring game for the first half 😂
Every time I see anything about this play I just laugh and laugh. Thanks Pat. You are a legend… allegedly.
