    No progress, but Steelers, Ward talk
    Saturday, August 13, 2005

    By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    Despite their stance of not negotiating with players who are not in training camp, the Steelers continue to have discussions with the agents for holdout receiver Hines Ward and have talked directly to the four-time Pro Bowl performer.

    Nonetheless, the Steelers are no closer to resolving their differences with Ward, who is seeking a contract extension, and are now being led to believe he eventually will report later in the season merely to play out the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent.

    Ward would have to report to the Steelers by the 10th week of the regular season and be on the 53-man roster for the final six games to be credited with fulfilling the final year of his contract.

    Once he does that, he can become an unrestricted free agent and is free to sign with another team.

    Ward's agent, Eugene Parker, could not be reached for comment.

    A report on ESPN Thursday night said Ward is resigned to sitting out the first six games of the season before reporting. When asked yesterday about the report, coach Bill Cowher said, "I don't want to comment on that."

        I like how you say that like it's a good thing...

        personally...if he sits out for even 1 game...fuck him...

                Where are you seeing that I think it's a good thing ??

                IMO, he's gonna make his statement, and sit out a few weeks of training camp, which more and more players are doing now anyways...

                His agents and the Steelers are already talking...

                Once the 3rd week sets in, meaning only two weeks until opening day, they'll come to an agreement...

                He'll get the rust off of his legs, play in the last two games, and everything will be forgotten....

                I never said I'm happy about anything on his holdout, I'm just making a prediction....

                    The article talked about how he's planning that he's going to miss games DURING the season...

                    and you came in and said...3rd week...he'll be back...

                    I figured you were talking 3rd week of the season...

                    Ah yes...the infamous Va predictions...

                    I'm making none here...IMO...nobody wins...

                        Ward ends holdout, reports to Steelers
                        Monday, August 15, 2005

                        By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

                        Wide receiver Hines Ward has ended his contract holdout and reported to the team, sources told the Post-Gazette today.

                        The team has scheduled a press conference for 6:45 p.m. today, preceding tonight's exhibition game with the Philadelphia Eagles.

                        Ward held out the first two weeks of training camp when the two sides could not come to an agreement on a contract extension. The Steelers said they would not continue negotiations until he reported to camp.

                        "He's back. That's all I can tell you," the source told the Post-Gazette. "I think he'll be on the sidelines tonight."

                        More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

                            Will there be anything to talk about on tonight's Philly-Pitt game other than disgruntled WRs?

                            Should make for some big efforts for those vying for roles in each team's respective passing games.

                                Hines had a press conference about an hour ago...

                                I think he said "I want to retire as a Steeler" about 83 times....

                                Word is that the contract will be signed by the end of the week....

                                    Oh fuck Va...we know you're just fucking plain off your rocker...

                                    Good for Ward...finally waking up...and I think he'll get a contract worth his while...that may save the Steelers season...

                                    shootout in Philly tonight...doesn't really mean anything without that Bitch Philly fan Lou here...but wtf...

                                    Pittsburgh's first stringers dropped 2 TD's on Philly...defense and special teams that is...

                                    WW with a int return...and Colclough with a punt return...then Ike Taylor with a kickoff return for a TD...

                                    Pittsburgh's offense looked like ass though...not happy about that...but it's early yet...

                                        You may have something there...

                                        Gotta take the 1st preseason game with a grain of salt...

                                        The pass defense looked pourous on one hand, but on the other hand you realize that the defense will be very vanilla, as to not expose anything other than the basic crap...

                                        The offense looked average as well...

                                        Special teams of course looked good, let's hope that's a good sign...

                                        I was impressed with the WR's, especially Nate Washington and Fred Gibson....

                                        And how about Gibson's "Ward-like" block on Washington's catch ?? Just shellacked him....

                                            A note from Plax...what a fucking dildo...

                                            The Steelers hold a special dark place in Plaxico Burress' heart. He acknowledges that he grew as a receiver in five seasons there, but said he started thinking of moving on after 2002, when he had 1,325 receiving yards. He totaled only 1,558 the next two seasons as Pittsburgh's offense became more run-based. "I played alongside a Pro Bowl receiver [Hines Ward], but I was the one going out every Sunday and getting double-teamed," Burress said.

                                                Plax mentions "going out every Sunday..."

                                                was there an alternate universe in which he played in more than half the games?
