Matthews is a Suave guy

Hair we go again.

Linebacker Clay Matthews has joined Pittsburgh Steelers' safety Troy Polamalu in an exclusive club: Super Bowl participants who are being paid to endorse hair products.

Matthews, known almost as much for his long blond hair as for his sacks, has signed a one-year endorsement deal with Unilever's Suave brand.

Ryan Williams of Athletes First, Matthews' marketing agent, said the deal included media appearances pre- and post-Super Bowl and a production day should the company want to film a commercial or additional advertising with him.

Polamalu's hair reportedly is sponsored and insured for $1 million by Head & Shoulders.

Terms of Matthews' contract with Unilever were not disclosed. The linebacker said on Monday that an announcement on a sponsorship deal was imminent.

Polamalu and Matthews both played at USC.

Clay seems like a guy who knows how to be rough, and when to be tender.

On Larry McCarrens show earlier this year he said used Pantene. This controversy could be a huge distraction going forward.

He should have picked Herbal Essence then done one of those orgasm commercials they used to do.

They should use one of my favorite CSNY songs in the commercial.
