It’s not fun to hear. Or write. But reality is reality.
Hines Ward isn’t going to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Not on this current track, anyway.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, he’ll go down as one of the greatest Pittsburgh Steelers in history. Beloved by the fan base for his toughness, his smile, his great playoff moments and two Super Bowl rings. But Canton, Ohio? For the next decade, at least, the only way he’s getting there is if he buys a ticket.
Voters have made it clear. Ward is good but not good enough.
