Re: Hines Ward to Retire
A better than average player who played dirty and often had the benefit of the refs helping his team. I wonder how many less receptions and yards he would've had if the refs ever called holding or any other penalties against the Steelers offense. I would love to beat that stupid grin off of his face. The only thing worse than seeing him twice a year for games would be having to see him 17 times a year doing commentary.

Re: Hines Ward to Retire
My only regret is that someone hadn't knocked his teeth down his throat before he retires.

Most football players retire before appearing on Dancing with the Stars.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Re: Hines Ward to Retire
Ward's career numbers are inferior to Chris Carter's in every concievable category, and Chris has been eligible for 4 years now, without getting in. Last year, he wasn't even a finalist.
Ward's numbers are inferior to Andre Reed's across the board, and Reed has been waiting for 6 years now.
There's no way anyone should reasonably consider Ward to be anywhere near a lock. If he does get in, it will likely not be for several years, and will have more to do with the 2 rings (and a healthy Steeler's bias) than anything else.Last edited by MarkS; 01-09-2012 at 05:42 PM.

The NFL loses a first class asshole. Good riddance.

Re: Hines Ward to Retire
What he said.
If he wasn't a Steeler he isn't even in the conversation.
And that is just a fact. There are so many deserving guys ahead of him at WR it isn't funny, not to mention players at other positions who routinely get snubbed because of where they played. Ward is the classic case for the "Hall of Very Good". Not Fame.

Re: Hines Ward to Retire
Hines Ward to retire? What the hell are you guys talking about? Are you just clueless or just been living under a bridge or something? Hines Ward put his notice in at the beginning of the season when Double J decked his ass. And he OFICIALLY retired at Ketchup Field when Ray Lewis cracked his ass, tucked him in & put him down for a nap. So please, let's get the facts straigh here fellas.

Re: Hines Ward to Retire
Ward posted to his facebook account that he is NOT retiring. Just showed it on NFLNetwork. Good news to me ;)

Good. Maybe next time JJ or Ray can finish the job.

Re: Hines Ward to Retire
I'm not sure why everybody is talking about how the Steelers need to reconstruct and get rid of some of their players. They still went 12-4, which is pretty damn good especially with a beat up Rothlesberger. I hate the Steelers as much as anybody else but it seems to be absurd that everybody is talking like they suck and need to overhaul the entire team. I dunno. They fell in the first playoff game to a weaker opponent. Just as the Saints did to the Seahawks last post season. It's the NFL, suprises happen. I'm not sure what the big deal is. 12-4 is a great record still.

They need to dump all those players because they're MASSIVELY over the cap.
