Probably....

His press conference was great...he seems like a class act in how he handled his release from the steelers. I think he didn't get good enough offers from the right teams to keep him in football so he retired for the "love of the black and gold"....which I say is still is class act.

HOF? Not really a Steelers fan, but has he really done enough to warrant the HOF?

Sure, he had a long time to rack up team stats with 14 years, but he was only a pro-bowler 4x and Ive never seen him as a top calibur WR.

Just looked up his career stats over his career he averaged 71 catches 860 yards 6 tds a season ... sorry thats not really HOF material - is it?

I'm not sure he will make it to Canton but Ward will not be remembered for his stats, thats for sure. He'll be remembered for the way he played and how he fit the Steelers almost perfectly.

I totally agree with that and IMO you will get into the teams ring of honor for that, but you dont or shouldnt get into the NFL HOF based on that alone.

I always hate to guy on the field, but loved him off it. Great team player, and person. Happy retirement Hines Ward.

BTW Ward is 8th all time in receptions 18th in yards and 15 in TDs with 2 rings ( Something Carter, Moss and Owens don't have) and I believe he was the Super Bowl MVP in the first one. He's a HoF to me.

      The Colts are not Extending Ryan Kelly for now

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      To me, it’s also a non- story, but for a different reason.     Because Ryan Kelly, classy guy that he is, has chosen to make it a non-story.  No complaining.  No running to the media to try to generate sympathy.   No hold out OR hold in where you show up but tell the team you won’t practice without a new contract.   He could’ve done any of them.  He chose to do none of them.     I think Kelly is a classy guy.  easy to see why he’s voted a team captain, and I think the union rep.  I also think the Colts under Ballard are filled with classy guys who are easy to root for.  Honestly, it one of the biggest reasons I’ve stuck around since Luck retired.  It’s a fun team to cheer for.    So I like the team, the coaches,  the front office, the owner and the city.   Hope to make it to Indy one day to meet as many of you as I can.

      No worries.   Wasn’t making fun of you.  If I had one dollar for every brain cramp moment I’ve posted here, I’d be rich!      It’s all good.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      I also forgot to say I think Buffalo will also have a down year.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.
