PITTSBURGH STEELERS WIDE RECEIVER HINES WARD - Ingles

Super Bowl XLV – Monday, January 31, 2011

(on the number one thing that they coach the younger players about) “You know, just what to expect. You get all the gifts sitting in the room. I think a lot of guys kind of over packed, really not knowing. They were just excited to be here; for a lot of guys, some anxiety. When you get here, you get the police escort and the helicopter following you and all the guys have the cameras and whatnot. It’s still fun to see the younger guys and also fun to see the veteran guys. I still enjoy it.”

(on the irony of going for their seventh Super Bowl in Cowboys Stadium) “It is kind of ironic. The two organizations that have had their wars over the years, their battles over the years. For us to be playing in Dallas’ stadium for a chance to win the Super Bowl is kind of ironic, but it would be a great thing to do.”

(on his thoughts regarding the offensive linemen wearing Flozell Adams Michigan State jerseys on the plane) “It’s awesome. For a guy who spent his whole career here in Dallas, that’s just the respect involved. There are always a lot of storylines on our team, but Flo game to our team with an opportunity to try and play in a Super Bowl. Now he’ll get that opportunity and hopefully we can win it for him.”
