Ward and Harrison will soon star in their own NBC sitcom “Cheap shots” in between their brief careers in broadcasting.

Ravenator, Ward has hosted his own TV show in Pittsburgh since 2006. He starred on one of the most popular shows on Nationsl TV. He’s made hundreds of appearances on National TV and Radio sports shows.

Please explain why he is the “most unqualified” person for the job?

And once again steeleymcbeam proves how much of a homer he is, tell me, do you actually believe yourself? A large portion of the NFL players have acknowledged he is a cheap shot artist. That’s not a coincidence anymore, that’s fact.

Why? Hines Ward is the most unqualified analyst. I can’t wait to hear about his next DUI, hopefully no one is killed, not that he’d care. Now instead of taking cheap shots on the field, he can take them in the studio, what a turd.

Rodney Harrison and now Hines Ward. I guess that means James Harrison is in line for a job there when he retires?

I hope they show his smile A LOT.

Congrats Hines!!!

NBC must be adding a dancing segment to their pregame show.

I wish I could give a thumbs up to an entire article.

For everyone with bad jokes: hes not in the NFL anymore so whats your problem with him now?

——————————-

Doesn’t matter where he is. He’ll still be known as one of the worst/best cheap shot artists in the history of the NFL.

Stop being such a Steelers homer.

Or … why don’t you unsportsmanlike brats let us congratulate our player on his new job and stop being such nasty little trolls? If you didn’t whine about the Steelers, what would you do with yourselves?

Bill Cowher is on CBS. Terry Bradshaw is on FOX. Hines Ward is now on NBC, and Merril Hoge is on ESPN. Wiz Khalifa wrote a song that was inspired by the Steelers, and it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the granddaddy of all popular music charts in the United States. (The song was also nominated for a Grammy Award.) About a dozen Steelers players have cameo appearances in ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ which is projected to break some box office records in July. Face it; you can’t escape the Pittsburgh Steelers now, unless you commit suicide.

Nobody thinks the Steelers will finish any higher than second in the AFC North this season, so where, pray tell, is this “slurpage” you’re talking about?

This is awesome, love to see a smiling Hines on tv now. Go get Hines!!

Hines has always been well spoken and was good for a quote or a sound bite. He understands the game well enough to offer some interesting ideas and
it’ ll be interesting to get his perspective on the game.
And of course, there’s always that smile

Good luck, Hines !

No hes known by that by moronic fans that get all pissy when Hines planted one of your beloved teams players on his ass. Just because you don’t like watching one of your players get embarrassingly lit up doesn’t make it a cheap shot. Stop being whiney bitch.

As a Ravens fan I have been reasonably kind to Hines despite the typical issues the non-Steeler fans have with him.

But I have to say Hines and that former NE/SD safety Harrison together in the same show…Gag!!! Actually, he has to be better than Harrison who has the on camera presence of a tire iron. At least Hines can dance. Seriously, Ward has a better personality.

Great! Because NBC needed someone who could out-douche Harrison! And now the show will be completely unwatchable. Why not let Peter King, Collinsworth, Costas, and Michaels just have a round table instead letting these morons crap all over sports journalism.

I have to admit I don’t watch Football Night in America much anymore. I miss the good old days when the 7 PM studio program showed game highlights – well, at least more than the 5 minutes of highlights we get with the current 7 PM studio program…

As long as bob costas and tony dungy are there I will continue to watch. Ward makes a good addition though.

Unfortunately my son will only now know him as a half naked guy in tights on a show his mother watches.

Make him a sideline reporter. THAT would be interesting.

So have the rest of the broadcast team agreed to let him take cheap shots and late hits on them? Otherwise I just don’t see it working.

and now Al Michaels and Collinsworth must constantly look behind them as to not those their jobs to Ward and his patented “knock them down when they aren’t looking” technique he mastered in the NFL

I will definitely have to agree Mr.Hines Ward will bring Class to this Organization. Hines will also be able to educate those on the program with him as to the ins and outs of the game. Having watched Hines from college days at the University of Georgia to the 14 years in the NFL, he is all Class. Congratulations Hines !!!!!!!

Hines and Rodney in the same studio-now there’s a couple of guys who have always played the game clean
