    Hines Ward is the dirtiest player in the NFL, according to a Sports Illustrated poll of 296 players released this week.

    The Steelers' wide receiver, long considered the league's best blocking wide receiver, received 11.6 percent of the vote. He was followed by Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (6.0), Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter (6.0), Bengals safety Roy Williams (5.1) and Titans center Kevin Mawae (4.6). Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan (4.2), Rams guard Richie Incognito (3.7), Falcons guard Harvey Dahl (3.7), Steelers safety Troy Polamalu (3.7) and Vikings defensive end Jared Allen (3.2) rounded out the top 10.

    Ward, 33, has a long history of physical play. Last October, he was fined $15,000 for hits in back-to-back weeks that weren't penalized during the game. Later that month, Ward broke the jaw of Bengals rookie linebacker Keith Rivers with a surprise downfield block. The hit, which ended Rivers' season, did not draw a flag. "That's what he's known for," Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe said. "He's a blind-side guy."

    What's the point? Simply general information for us to read?

    Like Pete Franklin used to say, it is better for other teams to dislik you because you cleaned his clock and won the game compared to somebody who is 'nice' but never wins.

    Just about everybody on this list could play for my team any day of the week. FWIW.

    Again, I'm not sure there is a message here, or not.

    Perception is reality. Hiney needs to thank Dick LeBeau for his bling.

  • Future Hall of Fame inductee.

    Still don't understand the point of this thread.

    Isn't there ENOUGH Browns news to chew on rather than focus on something that is - at best at this point - a 'sour grapes' discussion

    Hmmm, maybe. Borderline. I think he will have a lot of competition, particularly among other receivers that are his contemporaries.

    On this point consider first the guys slightly ahead of him that would go in: Rice, Chris Carter, Tim Brown. These guys are not really his contemporaries. But what of these guys who are:

    Marvin Harrison

    Terrell Owens

    Isaac Bruce

    Tori Holt

    Donald Driver

    Muhsin Muhammed

    Eric Moulds

    Chad Octopussy

    Randy Moss

    Whines Hard is not necessarily a slam dunk to go in over any of these.

  • Not to mention the refs he couldn't pay off he sucked off so All the S.B. bullshit you throw gets laughed away because the 05 S.B. wich was the worst games ever played because the refs had a hand on the flag every play waiting to throw against Seattle.

  • Heres My Issue with this. Defenders have NO problem Drilling a Guy who doesnt see them coming. Bart Scott was on espn radio tuesday saying his "Best" Hit ever was on Ben Roethlisberger ... "And he never seen me coming...I had a 15 yard head start , I thought I Killed him , he was down like 10 minutes" (paraphrased) He did say he was concerned afterward ... but these same defenders dont want be the "Hunted". So No offense , its football and a WR that has to go over the middle as part of his Job yet still takes pride in Jacking a defender trying to stop our offense ?? I have No Problem with that. The defensive guys who are offended by it... sorry it smells of a double standard.

  • What I was trying to say is Hines is a shitbag

  • Not to mention the refs he couldn't pay off he sucked off so All the S.B. bullshit you throw gets laughed away because the 05 S.B. wich was the worst games ever played because the refs had a hand on the flag every play waiting to throw against Seattle.

  • And consider these further names who could be in line for HOF induction over HW or who are contemporaries that may get equal HOF consideration:

    Andre Reed

    Rod Smith

    Tony Gonzales

    Joey Galloway

    Shannon Sharpe

    Irving Fryar

    Art Powell

    Laverneus Coles

    Derrick Mason

    TJ Houshmanzadeh

    If you took all the people in these two posts how would you rate them for consideration for HOF induction?

  • What I was trying to say is Hines is a shitbag

    @medicineman said:

    Indeed.

  • For years and years I have despised Hines Ward more than any other current NFL player. Not as bad as O.J., but I can't stand HW. As much as I hate the Steelers, I would definitely hate them less without that smug jerk.

  • Browns fans are so jealous of everything Steelers. It is sad you cannot compete in the AFC North.

    But the Steelers, Ravens, and now the Bengals are competing for king of the hill and the browns are 1-7.

    THE RAGING JEALOUSY OF THE STEELERS SUCCESS continues in Cleveland.. How sad..

  • OK, I will conduct this exercise myself. This would be my priority list of who is HOF worthy from the names I posted. Please let me know if you think I left anyone off:

    1. Jerry Rice

    2. Chris Carter

    3. Marvin Harrison

    4. Tony Gonzales

    5. Randy Moss

    6. Tim Brown

    7. Terrell Owens

    8. Shannon Sharpe

    9. Isaac Bruce

    10. TJ Houshmanzedah

    11. Andre Reed

    12. Art Powell

    13. Hines Ward

    14. Tori Holt

    15. Muhsin Muhammed

    16. Donald Driver

    17. Chad Octopussy

    18. Irving Fryar

    19. Joey Galloway

    20. Eric Moulds

    21. Laverneus Coles

    22. Derrick Mason

    Are you so dimwitted as to not be able to engage in a meaningful discussion/debate on any subject whatsoever? You were too dumb even to answer one single question on Steeler History.
