Hines Ward Hits Keith Rivers, Breaks His Jaw and Knocks Him Out for the Season
Larry Brown Sports — Hines Ward is notoriously one of the toughest players in the NFL.

AFC North Breakdown - Week 7
Ebony Bird | A Baltimore Ravens blog — (Jarrett Carter writes for The Ebony Bird, which is FSB’s Ravens blog.

This ...

The Crack Back Block
The National Football Post » Hot News and Rumors — The Crack Back Block Another week, another question about hits in the NFL. What’s new? This time it is Baltimore Ravens’ linebacker Terrell Suggs who has sounded off about the “ crack-back ” blocks being  dished out by Steelers’ wide receiver Hines Ward. Suggs even went as far as to say that the Ravens’ defense has a “bounty” out on Ward. Nice. Make sure you realize that the fine you are going to get for saying that comes out of your pocket before Uncle Sam gets a hold of it. But, let’s be honest. This isn’t a new discovery. Hines Ward has been blasting linebackers, defensive ends, safeties, corners, equipment guys, fans, etc since he has been in the ...

Steelers' Hines Ward Best Blocker or Cheap Shot Artist
Past The Pylon — Thursday night's game between the Steelers and the Bengals played out how many felt that it would. Though if you ask the Bengals defenders, they would say they missed out on one thing, retribution for Ward for the block he placed on one of their own earlier in the season. In the days leading up to the game, several Bengals players alluded to the media that they would be looking for the veteran receiver when he came across the middle. Though the war of words did not escalate as the week progressed, many thought something would happen. Why are the Bengals so worked up over Ward? Is tt the injury caused to linebacker Keith Rivers or the fact that ...
