POLAMALU IS THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER IN ALL OF THE NFL!!!!!!!!Fruitsaladisyummy (talk) 22:13, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone have any proof that he's Catholic, besides him crossing himself after plays? ThatWouldBeSeven 23:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Is a bit about last week's interception overrule really necessary? I mean, the guy's been in the league for two years, certainly this is not one of the only things we can say about him. 129.173.185.53 23:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It might be more pertinent if it were mentioned as being part of the larger question of officiating quality this past year. I will re-spin it. Tlesher 18:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Last I heard you did not have to be catholic to believe in the trinity...hes Christian

Troy routinely discusses & quotes Catholic persons, in particular Mother Theresa, when describing his personal relationship with God. That would imply that he is Catholic, as most members of other Christian sects tend to use examples that are not Catholic.

I edited "College Career" because it had been vandalized with:

This is my first post/action as a registered member; glad I could contribute.

Is there a formal way to report vandalism, or should you simply edit it out (as I did)?

[edit] religion

it's amusing he says it doesn't matter whether he is protestant or catholic, when the article goes on to imply he is orthodox... granted those are not his words, but it sure is a good thing he's not protestant or catholic considering he's orthodox.

Allegedly - Polamalu married into a Greek Orthodox family, and converted...

[edit] Missing Games

Someone says that Polamalu missed his first two pro games in 2006? Didn't he have a hamstring injury during his first year in the league? Didn't that lead to him missing practically the whole season?

[edit] Pronunciation

I believe that the NFL game press kits report the pronunciation of his last name more like pole-ah-MALL-oo. In any case, the pronunciation(s) given needs attribution, and should be in IPA format. — brighterorange (talk) 22:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was paul-ah-MALL-oo. Well, that's how I say it down here in West Virgina. --Crash Underride 06:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

WHY is this article x-ref'd under Asian Americans? Troy is a SAMOAN, and Samoans are NOT Asian!!
