Cincinnati Bengals LB Keith Rivers on Hines Ward, who broke Keith's jaw with a vicious block that landed Keith on injured reserve for the season:

"I mean, I would have done it. Honestly, whatever. It is what it is. You know, you reap what you sow. That's what happens. What goes around, comes ...

  • Of course he's pissed, he was rocked by a smaller receiver. Welcome to the NFL rookie, this isn't the PAC-10. See you next year. Go Steelers!
  • Hines Ward is a hard hitter. Actually came in like second or third for dirtiest player behind Rodney Harrison. this happens when competition is intense I believe.

    I don't believe that these guys intentionally try to kill other players, but you see them, they get in the heat of the moment, and you know they start smacking eachother and bumping and pushing each other. thats the way it is.

  • Besides it seems a little hypocritical to celebrate when someone gets "Jacked UP" but then if the person is injured blame it as the athelete's intention to do so.

    How many times have I seen in JPW leagues the parents clap that their kid just ran over another kid like a paper bag? I million! Does that mean the kid that did the running over is dirty if the other kid gets hurt? maybe, maybe not. We encourage it.
  • I have no problem with Hines Ward. He's a beast.
  • of course you wouldn't! I am really responding to the facit guy there..
  • he is a beast for sure. i wouldn't mess with him

I enjoyed every memory that we had, every championship that we won, and every game that we played. I hope I get a chance...
