because they have overrated players like troy p. who can't cover, can't make open field tackles, have horrific technique, constantly blow coverage, take way too many risks, try and arm tackle, play dirty, get run over at the goal line, but get credit and over-hype for making an occasional tackle for loss by recklessly shooting a gap, and diving head first while not being blocked.  oh yeah, he has cool hair too.

the single most overrated pro athlete in existence; past or present.

just at the safety position Roy Williams of the Cowboys/Bengals and Antrel Rolle of the Giants come immediately to mind. especially williams who made the pro bowl about 5 times too many.

and by the by, polomalu was rated as the top difference maker of the the steelers last year, so he obviously is contributing. i mean any guy has flaws, even guys like revis will take it on the chin from time to time, but great teams make guys around them look better and no doubt polomalu has benefited from the defense pitt consistently has.

Maybe you just started watching football during the year that he got injured (was it 3 years ago or something), but Troy is not at all overrated.

The simple fact that he can play the box and deep well, his ball-hawking skills, make him a huge threat for offences.

After Ed Reed (the undisputed top safety in the league), who would you rate as the best safety?

If I remember correctly. The Broncos beat the Steelers in overtime playoff game. Ya baby.

Oh and we got Payton Manning now!

First game of the year, Steelers at Broncos. There's gonna be a lot sad Steelers fans there.

Ya Steelers suck....

roy williams, good call.  dude was so obese, he couldn't even fit in his uniform in dallas.

polamalu benefits greatly from the insane complexity dick lebeau's schemes present to offenses week in and week out.  a lot of the times, he is completely unaccounted for.  when he is accounted for, i've yet to see him shed a block.  he gives up on plays (see demaryius thomas via tim teebow), over pursues others, takes bad pursuit angles at best, and has no clue how to wrap up and form tackle.  he gets absolutely torched by elite qb's, and it a total liability in pass coverage.  don't get me wrong, the guy is good, he's just not great.  there's no doubt that the times he gambles, and makes a play, he makes his team better.  however, imho, any top 32 SS could be plugged into that system, and that D wouldn't skip a beat.

i'm a ND fan, and have been well aware of polamalu for years.  imho, he is overrated, and i've been clear in the above posts as to why i think so.

ed reed is a FS, polamalu plays SS.  at SS i'd take donte whitner first overall if i was a GM building a defense.  that guy just flat out bangs.

Sometimes he takes a bad angle. He never really tackles well. The rest I can't say I agree with. And if you think Lebeau's schemes are "complex" then I think you've not watched the Steelers much for the past five years. :-)

I just fell out of my chair! LOL

You gotta admit, that was something special teebow did that day.

btw, that play was officially called "The Mile-High-Goodbye" by ESPN.

Agreed. He's a bit of a gambler, but he's the best gambler.

I was sort of hearing your argument until this statement and I do think Whitner is good but there are better SS. Polamalu is a solid player no matter how you look at it but like Jamo said he's a gambler sometimes he misses big and when he's right it's generally a huge play in the game. Either way the steelers are a better team when he is on the field and there is no denying it.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
