So, last week it was announced that Troy Polamalu had insured his hair to the tune of one million smackaroos, and we presented a photographic journey of his tresses. Now Shona Holagh, a TV producer by day -- born entrepreneur by night, apparently -- is selling a lock of Troy's hair on eBay:
"During a newsroom clean-up earlier this year, I somehow acquired a lock of Troy Polamalu's hair," she wrote to tell Lemondrop. "When we had new carpet installed, everyone had to clean out their offices. People started getting rid of things they had been holding on to. I just randomly grabbed it thinking it was strange memorabilia. I took it home, threw it in a box, and forgot about it ... until now."
But when the news broke that the Pittsburgh Steeler was even more protective of his head than John Edwards, Holagh decided to put it on eBay. "I figured some crazy fan might pay big bucks for it," she says.
She just listed it today. So far no bidders.
The lock will be sold, Holagh says, in a tin box, along with this snazzy blue and white card listing fun facts about Polamalu's mop.
Her preferred buyer? A Pittsburgh fan, natch. Though anyone interested still has six days to pony up. Bid at your own risk: Whether this is a true tress -- or Holagh helped her hairdresser sweep up -- we're unclear.

Bon,
Instead of being interested in football, I suggest you take some english and spelling courses. Half these posts are typical of moronic football fans.

He should at least wash his hair once in a while. If he cant do that, maybe he could at least get an oil change. Disgusting.

Do you know how much people pay not to have hair look like THAT? Look at Oprah, Beyonce. etc. I do not see them lining up for any extensions worth a million dollars to look like that .
