"Tyler Palko" is a former American football quarterback. He does weekly broadcasts for Pittsburgh Panthers Television on Comcast Network/Comcast and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Palko was the starting quarterback at the Pittsburgh Panthers football/University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) from 2004 to 2006. The Left-handedness/left-handed thrower was not selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, but was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent. After spending most of the 2007 season on the Saints practice squad and occasionally the active roster, Palko was waived and did not play in a game in 2008. He joined the Arizona Cardinals on a future contract in December 2008, but was waived again in September 2009. Palko then joined the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League before receiving a release to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers in November 2009. He signed a future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010, but spent most of his time on the team's practice squad before joining the active roster near the end of the season. After entering the 2011 season as the backup to Matt Cassel, Palko was elevated to starting quarterback after Cassel broke his hand.

We had a lot of expectations, so it was disappointing. We just got our tails kicked. Now, we can face it one of two ways ? we can run away and hide or face it like a man.

It's a big joke now as it should be. I made a mistake. I guess I found out my routine for postgame interviews will be to shower and cool down first then do the interviews after I cool down because I guess I have trouble controlling my emotions after a game like that.

I let a lot of people down tonight. I feel very badly that I let all of those guys in that locker room down. I had one of those days and there's no excuse for it.

It feels like we've got a guy who understands what we go through, who's walked to class the same way we do, who understands the mentality in this town.
