Not bitter, just little tolerance for pure ignorance.

Nope, I showed video to provide context to the hit which caused this very thread to be created. It was only after a poster disputed the severity of the hit that I began to respond back and forth, with of course Steelers fans jumping in and defefending their players dirty play. That is what brought this thread somewhat off course.

STFU dude. Liar? That's rich. Let me clarify, as I also have a low tolerance for ignorance. 296 players were surveyed. 34 listed Hines.....that equates to 11.6%. That is NOT 11% of all NFL players, it is 11% of the test sample (and who knows which players in which divisions were polled, which would influence the results). For even further perspective and to further poke holes in the ludicrous assertion that these surveys are supposed to paint Hines as some sort of notorious league-wide menace......I cited the total number of players who voted Hines against the number of players in the league on a roster (53 x 32).

By the way, still waiting for your clips. With regard to a guy "worth a cheap shot a game" over the course of a 12 year career you should have no problem presenting substantial evidence to support your case.

The way you talk, you make it seem like the Ravens are the cleanest players in the entire sport.

Really guys?

This is a thread about a HOF-bound safety that is contemplating retirement, and half of you are bickering about ANOTHER PLAYER.

And people wonder why half of our userbase stays away from certain forums.

Let it go. Keep the talk about Ed Reed, and the childish arguing to a thread about Hines Ward.

Ed Reed is one of the few football players I'd pay to watch. A year after he single handedly dismantled the Dolphins in the playoffs, I'm still convinced he's the best defensive player I've seen since Lawrence Taylor. He's just superhuman at times. It'd be a shame for a Hall of Famer like Reed to have his career cut short, but if he's risking major injury by continuing, he should definitely walk away.
