Hines Ward NFL's Dirtiest Player- So say his peers
-
And FYI, though I provided that link, I have never been on that board. I have never been on any Pittsburgh Steeler board. Why? I don't give a crap about the Steelers. They are not my team. I have no interest in them. I am interested in the Cleveland Browns. I patronize Cleveland Browns boards. Nothing that the Steelers do currently is of any interest to me, other than in telling me that they lost their game. My only interest in them is an historical interest in regard to them being one of many elements of the NFL, and pro football even beyond that. I have as much interest in talking to their fans as I do in talking to the fans of the Las Vegas Locomotives or the Florida Tuskers of the UFL. My view is that anyone patronizing a Browns board is here because the Browns are paramount to their pro football world. Your presence here, whoever you are, wherever you're from is tacit admission of the primacy of the Cleveland Browns. If you do not accept that premise then GO AWAY.

I really wish everybody would stop referring to it as dirty play, it's not. It's hard nosed football by an undersized guy. The only people who see it as dirty are wussies, cry babies, whiners, punks, mama's boys, losers, ..........well you get the picture.Cry Baby?

OK, I'm going to ask an obvious question because I'm a newbie here: Why on earth are there Hines Ward/Steelers fans on this board? I wouldn't dream of visiting a Steelers fan board. Ever. Why would I???
Most Steeler fans are very friendly and don't want to overrate the Steelers becuase we are being homers. Being a board member of another team is a great way to have football conversations with fans of opposing views, see the NFL from another perspective and most of all, talk some trash!

We have titles in 1920, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1954, 1955, 1964.
You see, Cleveland has so many football titles that karma said to stop gathering them until someone else caught up. And, as yet, NO ONE else has caught up! Green Bay is still one short, Chicago 2 short. When Pittsburgh gets even halfway, call us.

When the Celtics won their 9th straight there were 16 teams in the league, 14 in the AAFL when the Browns dominated. Is anyone saying "Well, the Celtics wore Chuck Taylor's then, and most shots were set shots, so it doesn't count". Hell no.

You guys with this garbage get so ridiculous.
You are desperate to claim your 8 Championships.
Where are the trophies for those games? Who did you play?
NUMBER ONE - The NFL Championship and the Super Bowl are NOT the same thing. Want proof--go to the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Colts, who in 1970 and 1969 respectively, won the NFL Championship and lost the Super Bowl. They do not represent the same thing.
NUMBER TWO - The NFL does not recognize the AAFC Championship Games. This is the league you compete in, you won only 4 of the league titles of the league you compete in. Winning the other championships against teams that saw 7 of the 10 teams immediately fold, and an 8th team shortly thereafter. Yet you try to legitimize that league as if it were quality competition.
NUMBER THREE - The NFL itself does not recognize the NFL Championship at the same level as it does the Super Bowl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Championship_Game
After the 1970 AFL–NFL merger and the emergence of the Super Bowl, all NFL league championship games prior to merger are listed along with the NFC conference championship games in the NFL's official records.
NUMBER FOUR - Other factors--the NFL Championship was played with a rotating home field advantage. You didn't even need to EARN it, you simply got it similar to the way the World Series used to work, except it was the one game scenario on your home field. 3 of the Browns 4 NFL Championships were won on their own home field. There was no playoff....winning your conference was the same as winning your division today...a regular season title. The only exception was in the exception of a regular season tie--a one game playoff would occur. In order for the Browns to win their 4 NFL Titles, they had to win 5 post season games. By contrast, to win their 6 Super Bowls, the Steelers had to win 19 post season games.....a much greater challenge.
NUMBER FIVE - Your AAFC Championships were won against defunct teams. You are trying to make them as legit as the NFL. The NFL does not consider the USFL Champs or WFL Champs on equal footing as the NFL Champs, why would they the AAFC?
I have made these statements here before, but not one of you has been able to come back to them. All you say is, "oh, we got 8 Championships"
You are so weak, just turn your computer off next time you want to try to flex your muscles, you have none.

By contrast, to win their 6 Super Bowls, the Steelers had to win 19 post season games.....a much greater challenge.
NUMBER FIVE - Your AAFC Championships were won against defunct teams. You are trying to make them as legit as the NFL. The NFL does not consider the USFL Champs or WFL Champs on equal footing as the NFL Champs, why would they the AAFC?
I have made these statements here before, but not one of you has been able to come back to them. All you say is, "oh, we got 8 Championships"
You are so weak, just turn your computer off next time you want to try to flex your muscles, you have none.
You are the one that has to spin a spider web around your dick to try to discredit history.
All we gotta do is count. Starting with ONE.
I can discount every single one of your alleged arguments. But, I don't need to.
Because, as a lawyer, I know the adage: "When the facts are against you, argue the law. When the law is against you, argue the facts. When the facts and the law are against you, pull shit out of your ass.
You see, I have the facts AND the law on my side. And what you have is shit out of your ass. No need for me to touch that.

If you really want tit for tat on those so called arguments, I can certainly give them. But I don't see any reason to.
The only one worthy of an explanation has to do with why the NFL doesn't wish to recognize the AAFC titles, and it comes down to one factor: The jealousy and resentment of one Mr. Bert Bell. NFL Commissioner at the time the AAFC and NFL merged, AND, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The nefarious reason Bell gave for not wanting to recognize AAFC records is because, he claimed" some of the original game statistic sheets of AAFC games were not preserved". Yet, the Pro Football HOF, and the Elias Sports Burear, official statistician of the NFL each had/have access to the game stat sheets or copies thereof. Not a single punt, throw, or kick of the action of AAFC games in not capable of being traced.
The fact is, Bert Bell did not want to recognize the AAFC records because, as owner of two time defending NFL champs Philadelphia Eagles he could not bring himself to admit that the AAFC was at times the superior league with the superior teams. And when it was ultimately mandated that the Browns and a couple of other AAFC teams be merged into the NFL he sat with abhorrance and shame that in the very first game of the 1950 season that the defending AAFC champion Browns wiped the field up and down with his defending NFL champion Eagles. And THAT is why he made his petulant decree to not recognize AAFC statistics. He was a beaten, petty, yet still powerful individual. He couldn't have the better of the Browns and their AAFC legacy on the field, so he decided to attempt to have it with the stroke of his poison pen. And That's the history.
The HOF, the Sporting News (pre-eminent sporting publication at the time, and still very respected), Elias Sports Bureau, and every single other reputable sports reporting or statistical organization recognizes the AAFC. But now you know why the NFL doesn't. They don't want to tarnish Bert Bell.

Come on brother You are rolling the 1920`s at me ?? LOL... Sorry man . Apples and Oranges. Whatever it takes though , to motivate you. I understand whee your coming from , but its not the same.Is anyone saying that about the Celtics dynasty? When the Celtics won their 9th straight there were 16 teams in the league, 14 in the AAFL when the Browns dominated. Is anyone saying "Well, the Celtics wore Chuck Taylor's then, and most shots were set shots, so it doesn't count". Hell no.
