I would say I'm more traditional than I am superstitious…

“I would say I'm more traditional than I am superstitious. I don't, for example, have to do things ritually before the game in order to feel comfortable going to the game. But I don't think I'm naturally a football player. I don't have that grit and that killer instinct.” quote by Troy Polamalu
