I knew the Jets couldn't go all week without talking shit... http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jets/post/_/id/4342/jets-d-rips-hines-ward By Ian Begley There hasn’t been much Jets-Steelers trash talk this week in advance of the AFC Championship Game, but Mike Pettine may have provided some fodder when he said Thursday that the Jets have a nickname for Steelers wideout Hines Ward. Appearing on SNY’s Loudmouths with Adam Schein and Chris Carlin, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie was asked whether Steelers receiver Hines Ward is a dirty player. “I know for a fact that he will hit you while you’re not looking,” Cromartie said. “I don’t think he’s man enough to hit you while you’re looking at him.” “Our guys I think called him the toughest guy in the league when nobody’s looking,” Pettine said. Ward has a reputation for throwing punishing blind-side blocks to the head. He was voted the NFL’s dirtiest player in a Sports Illustrated poll of players last season. “That’s the mentality. And again, that works for them,” Pettine said. “He’s kind of the spark that gets them going and we are well aware of it.” The Jets put together a highlight tape of Ward’s blocks before their last trip to Pittsburgh in Week 15. “I think our guys have played against them enough to know what he’s all about,” Pettine said.
LMAO... so Petine telling his players to keep and eye out for the blind side hits Ward is known for is trash talking? You are reaching. Your new name is "Elastic Steel".
"toughest guy in the league when nobody’s looking,”.... wow, this is getting out of control guys. this trash talk is so ruthless.....
The funny thing about Cro saying that he doesn't think Hines is man enough to hit you when you're looking is that sadly neither is he. Pettine isn't talking shit at all, he's just saying Hines likes to delivers blind side hits which is true. Defenders gotta keep their eyes wide for 86
Holy Shit! They called Hines Ward a blind-side blocking dirty pussy. Oh wait, that isn't trash talk...its the truth. Oh well, no trash talk after all.
So he doesn't throw dirty blindside hits? Ok, thanks for clearing that up for us. Fuck off back to Primanti Brothers now please.
Telling your receivers to watch out for the most notorious blind side hitter in the NFL is crossing the line. Mike Pettine should be fined, can't tolerate that kind of nonsense in this league. Pathetic.
Difference between facts and fiction. Fact is, according to Steeler fans, is that the rest of the league who voted for Ward as being a dirty player must be mistaken. What do they put in those yellow towels to think these thoughts anyway?
FUCK! u know what i meant. And i thought sanchez was a dick. Grow up Lol can't believe i fucked that up. *Looks in mirror* Very Dissapoint
Clark telling the media that he'll "lay Santonio Holmes out", followed by saying he'll "play as disrespectful as possible" is considered to be trash talking. Saying that you'll play "disrespectful" is trash in my eyes. What our DC & Cromartie said wasn't "trash talking"; they were speaking the truth. Hines Ward deserves whats coming to him.
cro just speaks the truth and nothing but the truth: "tom brdy's an asshole"=truth hines ward will cheap shot you=truth
As soon he said it I thought to myself "watch ESPN blow this one up" They're rplaying loudmouth right now btw and his segment is coming up
in all seriousness cromar has left like 10 kids fatherless he really shouldmt be calling anyone an asshole
