The anticipated war of words between Keith Rivers and Hines Ward turned out to be fairly one-sided. While Bengals linebacker Rivers tried to distance himself from discussing what would be a season-ending Ward blind-side block last year, the Steelers receiver said he’d do the same thing again, even if it means being fined. Ward says he thinks it’s safer to hit players up high instead of putting their knees at risk. “I’ll still hit him. I’ll just get fined,†Ward said. “I’d rather take a fine than try to end somebody’s career, so I’m not going to change. Me being the defensive guy, I’d rather get hit high than low. Because if I hit Rivers (low), I probably would have blown out his knee and he never would have played football again.†“If I end his career, I will feel more worse as a player than hitting him up high. We have on shoulder pads, we have on helmets. That’s what they’re made for. But me going down low when he’s not watching and I blow his knee out? To me, that’s the sign of a dirty player.†Source: The Cincinnati Enquirer
He didn't say anything wrong, he says he's sure Keith Rivers will hit him if he has the ball and if the same play were to happen and he had to make a block for his runningback he would it again. The media is trying to make something out of nothing as usual.
^^^ Yep, just that. Hines worded that perfectly, and means it in the best of competition. And I agree with him, knock them on their butt by hitting them high instead of hitting them low and risking someone's career.
he is a dirty player but not so dirty to try and end someone's career kudos to him but watch out he may be knocked back next time
