@@preachinoldschool5726 nah. He spent his whole life in locker rooms. He is used to the swearing and indecent talking subjects. Plus I have met him numerous times.

Troy finally told a interviewer that the reason why he went to the C gap was because he saw pat was a little more excited than usual. He knew something was up before Pat got on to the field. Pats reaction to the interview was priceless 😂😂😂
Troy's attention to detail/observation skills are borderline inhuman. Like how he used to be able to time the snap perfectly to be running full speed at the line and pretty much sack the QB immediately. Dude was one of a kind.
This is one of my 3 “go-tos” when I’m down and a good laugh: 1) David S. Pumpkins - SNL 2) Substitute Teacher - Key & Peele 3) Polamalu in the C gap - Pat McAfee
I love that Sub. teacher skit- not only is it hilarious on its own, and launched further skits , but he looks like my favorite uncle that I had growing up
It couldn't have been any other way. Actually I think I remember hearing Cowher talking about when Troy first suited up and started going off script and Cowher just having a heart attack like wtf are you doing.
My favorite part is at the end, when Jerry Thornton says “No, no, Ed Reed would have made the tackle, I’m saying that Polamalu would have shaved years off your life!” Because it’s true. That man was a battering ram with legs.
The way he explains this story tells you why it didn’t happen 😂.... If he’s this excited 20 years later “fuck this is gunna happen” imagine how excited he was running out on the field..... Troy said he saw how excited he was and knew something was up.
@@partylee007 Pat couldve come out stone face and friggen Palalgram would've been like "He usually starts with his right foot moving 6 inches, but his left moved 7. Therefore.....C-Gap!"
For real though, apparently he just had a 6th sense about things like that, very good at reading people, very good instincts, I’m not convinced he *isn’t* a jedi at this point.
Yeah. When Troy gets the nod he should ask Pat to give his induction speech. Pat would probably have to not drop the F-bombs(to make it family friendly for the NFL), but tell this story to illustrate what made Troy a HOFer.
Has this story been brought up on WWE yet? Would be hilarious to see a wrestler talking trash to him and be like "is that Troy Palamalu in the stands?"
Troy off the field was known to be the locker room joker. He loves movies. Knows every one of him. He is a simple family man lives. 7 miles away. He is loved here in Pa. One of the best Steelers ever
All punters are holders now. It makes more sense kickers and punters stay together to get the timing perfect. Backup QBs never hold anymore. It doesn't make sense for them to learn another skill so they pull a Tony Romo.
I could NOT stop laughing during this video!! I'm a diehard Steelers fan and a diehard Troy Polamalu fan, so this video was spot on when Troy was on the field.....he could read the Offenses play before the snap, always an amazing sight to behold!!
"I ain't doin shit to Ed Reed. " lmaooo. Tom Brady said every time he broke a huddle vs. the ravens, he was looking directly for Ed Reed to see where he was and what he was doing. Indeed the best safety you ever seen boy
Love when his voice cracks. "We are kicking it!" Have to believe that was an accurate reenactment. Can't imagine the fear of seeing Polamalu eyeing you like a great white eyeing a seal.
But this is the guy in 2017 first game of the season, he thought the colts were playing the 49ers, um they were playing the LA rams. He's the Dan Quayle of the NFL. Pagano had his Potatoe moment!
And, of course, his classic "Let's line up the entire O-Line over there" moment against the Patriots on 4th and long, when even the announcers are saying, "What in the...?"
@@roguishpaladin To be fair that ball wasn't supposed to be snapped. Look at the snap the kicker, who was playing QB, was surprised the ball was in his hands. They were trying to get the Pats to jump or think the Colts were subbing thus drawing a penalty. That play was a mess because if it had been played correctly the Colts see the Pats weren't fooled, the center doesn't snap the ball, and a timeout is called.
Being from Pittsburgh, McAfee very likely listened to the WDVE morning show. They used to parody a novelty song from the 60s called "Mah-na mah-na", made semi-famous later on The Muppet Show. It was just nonsense lyrics and they substituted the mispronounced "Pa-la-ma-lu" for the mah-na-mah-na.

He was referring to jumping the line to stop a QB sneak, but it seems relevant to this play.
I’ve gone back and watched the play from this story. Pat was a bit flustered waving his hand and yelling while they line up, and Troy clearly must have noticed.
@@davidmurphy1207 Probably played the odds. If the holder is keeping it then he'll likely go left whereas if it is flipped to the kicker he'll likely go right (with momentum). He probably assumed that giving it to Vinatieri was unlikely and with the fact that McAfee looked nervous he was likely keeping the ball. Also, realistically, as long as Polamalu was unblocked on the outside he would catch McAfee from behind even if he went the other way. There's a good chance Polamalu was simply making himself uncovered to chase the runner and simply guessed right as to where McAfee was going.
It's called the zone. You literally become Neo. It's the best drug on earth. It's completely silent and at the same time very fragile. It's like a lucid dream.

There just isn't anything on earth like it. Sometimes it almost feels like you're controlling your opponents actions too.
rls725 seriously he was always around the balm some how Tomlin said sometimes he would move way out of position and no one corrected him and all of a sudden the QB got picked and they just tossed it up to Troy doing Troy things
Polamalus biggest flaw was he wasn't always right. He would guess a lot to try getting an edge on a play and sometimes he would get burned. Don't get me wrong one of the best safeties to play the game. But his reading sometimes got him burned.
Lmao "what did you see?" Uhh I don't know maybe I saw one of the most athletic, powerful, dangerous men on the planet about to hurdle the damn line and take my head clean off and run the ball and my head up the field and spike both in the other end zone
[Subscribed] This is some of the best commentary I've ever heard. I could walk out of my mother's funeral and still manage to laugh after hearing something like this. Brilliant.
Pat McAfee is a riot. The first time I saw him on TV he was on NFL AM as a guest host during the offseason. He started talking about his amazing ride into work and then switched to a CCTV camera of a parking lot outside the studio. An intern pushes McAfee into the frame with him riding in a freakn' wheelbarrow. I lost it. Besides being some kind of onside kicking genius, Pat McAfee also does stand up and he'd sell out shows in Indy every time he did one. I wish he could have played longer in the NFL but injuries happen. I hope he has a long carrier in comedy though.
Unknown Unknown I remember what he said about Watt on the NFL Top 100 List "They say all men are created equal? I disagree, because him & I were not created the same."
Bill Boyd Nope. Die-hard Ravens fan, hate Pits guts... But no, say what you want about rules, they're for safety. How many more fuckers do we need to see paralyzed out there? Look at his hit. Almost none of them would be deemed "Helmet to Helmet" he actually knew how to hit without being a scumbag.

He basically said coaches told him to get lining up in the c gap on a kick that's 100% they're kicking it, so he picked that play.
And it lines up with Pat’s story of him and Adam being very excited to run this play

"If he dies, he dies".
So, has anyone ever check to see what Troy’s Midi-chlorian is. Has to be somewhere between Yoda and Anakin.
For real though, apparently he just had a 6th sense about things like that, very good at reading people, very good instincts, I’m not convinced he *isn’t* a jedi at this point.
This should be part of Troy's induction ceremony whenever he gets enshrined in Canton.
just this video. no speech. and then troy comes up in a bath robe with Head & Shoulders still in his hair.

At least McAfee had the vision to see what was going on to call off the trick play.
I can only imagine how confused everyone was when the holder started screaming "were kicking it we have to kick it" 😂
polomoooo
they knew a fake was going that way anyway. why else would Polamalu step into that gap?

Fuck I had a good laugh at this
Yeah this was good lol.
Funny as hell
Now I get the joke about the C Gap can’t believe I’ve waited for this lmao
You're a great story teller. Love it!
I would literally die of laughter seeing Polamalu score a touchdown with Pat on his back. That would have been 100% comedy gold
He'd probably put him down nice and gentle too, then pat him on the head before jogging away lol
Lmao "what did you see?" Uhh I don't know maybe I saw one of the most athletic, powerful, dangerous men on the planet about to hurdle the damn line and take my head clean off and run the ball and my head up the field and spike both in the other end zone
Lol!!!....that comment made my year!
hqhHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Oh man that comment made me laugh out loud thanks i needed that
Who’s here after he made the hof

This is some of the best commentary I've ever heard. I could walk out of my mother's funeral and still manage to laugh after hearing something like this. Brilliant.
i remember watching nfl top 100 players and watch his comment on jj watt it is so hilarious
Best comment on here lol
3rdCoastAlliance man that’s really specific... hope your mother is looking upon you well
Pat McAfee is a riot. The first time I saw him on TV he was on NFL AM as a guest host during the offseason. He started talking about his amazing ride into work and then switched to a CCTV camera of a parking lot outside the studio. An intern pushes McAfee into the frame with him riding in a freakn' wheelbarrow. I lost it. Besides being some kind of onside kicking genius, Pat McAfee also does stand up and he'd sell out shows in Indy every time he did one. I wish he could have played longer in the NFL but injuries happen. I hope he has a long carrier in comedy though.
Oh... um ok
“That’s Po-Lah-Mah-Loo” 😂😂😂
Who’s here after he said that polamalu is a first ballot Hof
Great stuff. Laughed so hard I was crying.
What did I see? Polamalu!!!
David Tua OMG that was hilarious!!!!!!! Hahahaha
polamaloo!!!
Gotta watch this: ua-cam.com/video/se8ABHcq8g4/v-deo.html
1:40 Pat MacAfee just perfectly described what every offensive lineman thinks for PAT
The year is deep into 2021. And this is still a story that will never be forgotten.
Props to whomever edited this video too. It makes Pat's comments even funnier....
Lol I had no idea Pat Mac was this fucking funny. I'm dying
Unknown Unknown I remember what he said about Watt on the NFL Top 100 List
"They say all men are created equal? I disagree, because him & I were not created the same."
good thing troy played when he did.. cause every fucking great tackle he ever made would be flagged today..
Bill Boyd
Nope. Die-hard Ravens fan, hate Pits guts... But no, say what you want about rules, they're for safety. How many more fuckers do we need to see paralyzed out there? Look at his hit. Almost none of them would be deemed "Helmet to Helmet" he actually knew how to hit without being a scumbag.
+pulse1001 nasa has rules too.. how many astronauts have died playing spaceman.. fn safety.. they get paid millions to take the risk.. f them
Bill Boyd
Good for you.
Very stupid comment especially after seeing what happened to Ryan Shazier with a head tackle.
My god, best NFL interview I've heard in years.
"Po-llama-loo"
This dude is hilarious! WHAT DID I SEE? Palamaloo just F'n went into the C gap!
I love that the longer this goes on the wronger Pat says his name...lol like he says it correctly at first...lmao
This is the best UA-cam video of all time.
LMAO, "what the fu#$ are you doing!? why are you lining up right there!?"
17th time listening to the story and it keeps getting better I watched(listen) to it all here on UA-cam😁😁😁🙌🙌🙌🙌😁
Who else keeps coming back and watching this when they need a good laugh?
I swear I've watched this video 9 times and it gets better every time.
UA-cam finally had a good recommended video. There’s still hope
