Why is Hines Ward considered "classy"?

Let's be honest here. The guy is a repeat DUI offender. So off the field no one can really say he's "classy". On the field, he leads the league for cheap shots. So on the field, I don't know if he's classy either.

Yet everywhere I read about teams signing an aging veteran WR, all the fans of these teams want Hines. Why? Well it surely can't be his paltry 8.3 YPC this past season can it? no....it's his "class".

These same fans automatically turn down the thought of signing a Terrell Owens, a player who has never been arrested in his life. But apparently, he's some big evil cancer and Hines is a "class act".

So I ask you Steeler fans to be honest.....In what ways is Hines "classy"? Is it the fake smile he always has on his face that fools everyone? The guy is renegade scum yet no one is able to see this.
