Study time is over for the NFL's reigning defensive player of the year. Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, who was drafted in 2003 after his senior season at USC but hadn't earned his degree, has been awarded a bachelor's in history from the school. Polamalu, a two-time All-American for the Trojans, took part with more than 1,000 master's and undergraduate students Friday morning in a commencement ceremony for USC's political science, international relations and history majors. More than 6,000 people were in attendance for the the Shrine Auditorium event on the school's Los Angeles campus. The student receiving the loudest cheer, though, was one of the oldest of the bunch: Polamalu, who was drafted 16th overall in 2003 by the Steelers.

So what he graduated? 5 years out of the league and he'll be selling used cars like every other dummy with a History degree.
Really? Troy is going to be a car salesman? Come on bro. He didn't have to go back and finish his degree. Maybe he's bored, maybe it's just something to pass the time during the Lockout. But point being he went back to graduate. And I'd have to assume most here on GIF wouldn't have done that. Or haven't graduated in the first place. So why not tip your hat to him for doing so?
Heart is racing watching the Bolts game. My bad. Just saying nothing wrong with Troy finishing his degree.
