Ward voted NFL's dirtiest player

Players from other teams still hatin' on Hines. You gotta love Troy's quote at the end, though, on getting 3.3% of the vote for dirtiest player:

Said Polamalu when asked about his supposedly dirty play, "I always do my hair before the game."

LOL, he must still be working the Head and Shoulders. ;)

I understand why Ward is on there but Troy? I don’t get that at all…….

Almost 12% of the league, twice as much as 2nd place. Ha, this has been old news for a while, as any reasonable person knows that he’s sets a new low for dirty play.

Whatever, dude

Just because some DBs and LBs just want to dish it out but can’t take it?!? No wonder it’s starting be called a pansy league. Not only QBs, but defensive players are whining about being too physical.

With 12% of the vote going to one player, double as much as the next closest, it’s not about “the league” at all. It’s clearly about a single player being the dirtiest player in football for over a decade, one who purposely tries to injure people, goes

only

for blindside blocks (he’s never out there leading a play), and more often than not hits after the whistle has blown. For anyone who is not a Pittsburgh homer, these are uncontroversial comments, and have been common knowledge for years, both amongst fans and players alike.

Hits after the whistle is blown...

Describes Shaun Rogers pretty well too.

Shaun Rogers’ hit on Roethlisberger in 2008 was totally legal.

Wasn't that the helmet to helmet that knocked Ben out of the game?

No, b/c that didn’t happen. It was the hit where he moved his helmet out of the way and blasted him with his shoulder a split second after the ball was released.

Wrong again

He does not only go for blindside blocks. That’s a false statement. And, he is very often involved in the running game. He is often blocking downfield for RBs or other receivers. And, if he was hitting after the whistle was blown, he’d get a 15 yard penalty, which I haven’t seen happen that often to Ward.

You can believe what you like, but when defensive players, who make their living putting the exact same types of hits on receivers, complain like that, it sounds like whining to me.
