Hines Ward may play last game

Rubberneck36 · 2011-02-01T08:07:22-08:00

On Monday, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette passed along ”several” indications from Hines Ward that the career Steeler has no intentions of retiring after Super Bowl XLV. Bouchette’s Monday story included no quotes from Ward. His Tuesday story does. “Whenever the time comes, trust me, I’ll let you guys know,” Ward told reporters after arriving in Dallas early Monday. “I don’t foresee this being my last game.” Devolving into a block-first receiver and third-down possession option, Ward hasn’t topped 45 receiving yards in the last seven weeks. He’s been outplayed by third-round rookie Emmanuel Sanders and, at times, sixth-rounder Antonio Brown. If the Steelers win, going out on top might not be such a bad option for Ward, who turns 35 this March. He’ll lose playing time — and perhaps even his starting job — to Sanders next season.

Dirty player. I don't care what people say, he constantly hits after the whistle, for example on Ed Reed against the Ravens. For the most part all his hits come on blindsided DB's an even when they're engaged and people say oh well that's just Heinz Ward. No that's a cheap b***h. To quote Kevin Durant, hes a fake tough guy.

Hines Ward isn't a fake tough guy. He's a jerk, and he's dirty, but he's not a fake tough guy like Chris Bosh. Bosh is Charmin soft.

Call him dirty but the hits he puts on defenders is just awesome. They get blown up when least expecting.
