It's getting worse...Merriman and the Postons

[PSUSkinsFan21]

Also wanted to pass on a blurb I got from ESPN Insider. It's actually a case of a player behaving in a way that us fans, NFL owners, and other players should applaud:

May. 5 - The Steelers and Ward's agent, Eugene Parker, have begun negotiating a contract extension for the four-time Pro Bowl receiver, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Although there's no guarantee it will be completed before the start of the season, Ward has no intention of letting his contract status affect his commitment to the team.
"There's nothing I can do," Ward told the newspaper. "They're talking to my agent and stuff like that. It's out of my control. I still have to go out here and perform. I'm busting my tail and worrying about getting better. I'll let my agent and the Steelers talk about my contract."



TAKE NOTE Shawn Merriman, Sean Taylor, Terrell "Big-Mouth" Owens, etc, etc, etc. THIS is how real players with character handle their business. I hope the Steelers give him double what TO is getting.

And Sean Taylor, who has proven nothing in the NFL, should be embarrassed for the way he's handling his contract gripe when you look at how a guy like Hines Ward (a four-time pro bowler) keeps a solid team-first attitude when he's scheduled to make peanuts this year.

I just thought it was nice to see that some guys still do it right in this league.
