Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel is at the Super Bowl this week and making the rounds on radio row as part of a promotion with Head and Shoulders. Keisel sat down with Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio to talk with host Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg about his beard, the promotion and what it feels like to lose in the Super Bowl. Keisel is also asked about Pittsburgh's season-ending loss to the Denver Broncos, James Harrison being targeted by the league, the departure of Bruce Arians and more. Below is the transcript of the few pertinent questions in relation to the Steelers

While filming the latest Troy Polamalu Head and Shoulders commercial that featured Brett Keisel and Hines Ward cameo appearances, Ward evidently took the opportunity to teach both Polamalu and Keisel some dance moves he learned on Dancing with the Stars. You can clearly see that both Polamalu and Keisel are no threat to winning the mirror ball trophy any time soon or upstaging Ward as the one of the best dancers on the team. I am also pretty sure the job of Kym Johnson is pretty safe as well. It would be great if Keisel mocked Ward in the future though and used one of these dance moves the next

The latest Head and Shoulders commercial is out with Troy Polamalu and it includes Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel, wide receiver Hines Ward and The Beard. Polamalu ask Keisel and Ward who used up the rest of his shampoo and Keisel blames the bald-headed Ward as his beard is blowing in the air. Ward of course calls Keisel a lying fool. Pretty funny. You can watch the video of the commercial that is up on Youtube below.

As part of a Head and Shoulders promotion, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu had some fun scaring some unsuspecting fans at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood. Polamalu pretended to be a wax still version of himself in full Steelers uniform and came alive when visitors would stop to take a picture with what they thought was a life size wax version of him. Pretty funny stuff here in the Youtube video below and you can check out what Polamalu is up to this season at facebook.com/HeadandShouldersforMen

A new video has surfaced on Youtube and it shows the million dollar hair of Steelers safety Troy Polamalu getting buzzed by clippers. It truly is Troy as you can plainly see and I also notice his brother-in-law Alex Holmes sitting on the couch as the clipper bandit enters the trailer. I believe this was shot during the latest Head and Shoulders commercial shoot and I am pretty sure this is a staged prank as there is no way this could happen. Polamalu had his hair insured for $1 million by the shampoo company through Lloyd's of London almost a year ago. Watch the hair buzzing video below and you

It should be no surprise that Mike Tomlin is not against kicking tackle Willie Colon inside to guard. We have mentioned it several times here on this very blog as a possibility. This of course assumes he does not leave via free agency. The longer the labor dispute goes, the better the chance that Colon could be deemed a restricted free agent and sign that tender given him. Long way to go though. Tomlin went on to say that Colon and left tackle Max Starks are both progressing well health wise.
Steelers beat writer for the Tribune Review, Scott Brown, seems pretty confident that free agent cornerback

Many folks do not like Mike Florio, but yet all of them visit his site at ProFootballTalk.com. Florio gave an excellent interview on the LaVar and Dukes radio show defending social media and small bloggers everywhere in light of the Mike Wise fiasco.
