The Member Formerly Known as Terrapin: SportsFilter has asked Rick Scully, the longtime member formerly known as Terrapin, to help out as one of the moderators of the site. He's been a regular since 2002 and has contributed more than 1,500 comments to the site, and we're happy to have him aboard to, as former NFL umpire Ben Dreith would say, keep people from giving each other the business. Welcome!

Did Troy Play Dirty?: As many of you know I am a Steelers fan. But I have always prided myself on being fair. In other words I never automatically absolve players from teams simply because they are my team.

A coworker of mine is a die-hard Patriots fan. This afternoon when I came into work the first words out of his mouth were that he no longer had an respect for Troy Polamalu. Not because of the (debatable) punched fumble... he said that didn't matter ... but because he said Troy kicked at Patriots players after "6 or so" plays were over. He says he saw it himself and that it was all anyone on Boston radio stations were talking about.

I watched every down, and watched NFL TV most of the day on Monday and saw no evidence and heard not a single talking head discussing it.

I assume if it is true he will be fined. But I was wondering if other Patriots fan truly saw evidence of Troy's "dirty play"?

Obviously these accusations are bothering me. But if there is evidence I will be the first to admit I disappointment in Troy.

I know there are a bunch of Patriots fans here. Can you point to specific plays if you agree?
