Hines Ward issued some advice yesterday for those teammates who felt snubbed by the Pro Bowl voting, and there were many of them. “For all these guys who got slighted, let’s win a Super Bowl,” Ward suggested. “A Super Bowl feels a lot better. You get recognition more by winning a Super Bowl than you will by having a Pro Bowl.” He became the first Steelers receiver to make four Pro Bowls, all in a row, then failed to get in for the 2005 season. Instead, he not only won a Super Bowl ring that season but became the game’s MVP.

It’s a travesty that Hines Ward was once again not included on the Pro Bowl roster for 2009. I’m attending my 14th Pro Bowl in a row this year. I had T-shirts made that say “WHERE’S HINES WARD?” on the back—so I don’t have to keep screaming the question during the game!
