I Hate Hines Ward

I think Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neill have finally been displaced. Don't get me wrong, I've hated Hines Ward for years. Tonight's Ravens loss on Monday Night Football to the Steelers probably clinched the top spot for Ward though.

blahblahblahblahblahblah Please go away soon.

It's the third quarter and Ward has been totally non-existant for the game. So have all the Steelers' offensive players, actually. On a sideline play, Ward gives one of his trademark trailing-the-play moderate shoves in the back to mild-mannered Ravens LB Jarrett Johnson. Johnson shoves back, Ward exaggerates losing his balance, and the dreaded after-the-whistle flag comes out. Momentum shifted, Santonio held onto a ball that Fabian Washington slightly tipped, and the Steelers score 14 points in literally 15 clock seconds. According to the announcers, it was Johnson's first ever personal foul.

Hines Ward beat the Ravens before he had a single catch.

The only way Bernie Williams could have topped that is by causing a bases loaded balk from the dugout with 2 outs and an 0-2 count. I swear to God the Steelers are going to hire Hines Ward after he retires just to patrol the sideline and give that shit-eating grin to any Ravens who come his way. He's not even a cheap player. It's just that cheesy grin. It pisses me off from the couch.

I needed lots of points yesterday from Ward, Pitt's D, and Clayton.

I got points from Ward and the Steel Curtain. I got zero from Clayton (yes, I know I shouldn't be starting him).

Thanks to Ward and the D, I won. So, I like Ward, I don't like Clayton.

Don't sugarcoat it. He is the dirtiest player in the NFL.

Who, Hines? He's dirty, but not in an "out to hurt" way. He's dirty in that he takes cheap shots when there's a lot of action and then hams it up when someone comes back at him.

Seriously. Bill Romanowski was dirty. The guy who cut Magahee's eye last week may be a dirty player. Hines is not a dirty player.

J-Red said...

No, he's intentionally annoying. That's the best way to put it.

Fellas, somewhat unrelated but WTF? I was looking forward to an MLB playoff preview. Hope everything is cool.

I think it's the smile... it's the smile that gets you. It's so much behind it!

We're Orioles, Nationals and Braves fans. We thought the baseball season ended in mid-June.

Hines Ward is such a fucking scrub. Someone should knock him out, injure him, and end his career. He deserves to be knocked out after ending Keith Rivers' season. I hope Suggs keeps a bounty on him and knocks that mother fuckin fag out!!

Well, he WAS voted dirtiest player by the remainder of the league a few years back. I absolutely hate watching his brand of shit. There's playing hard and then there's pushing guys down away from the play, talking smack after making his first catch 5 minutes into the 4th quarter. I hate his attitude, his shit-eating grin and ESPECIALLY the crap he gets away with on the field. I do agree that someone should put a knee splitting hit on his ass and take him out of the league.
