CbrGirl Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Question: What happened to Nate Washington? He had a sling on his right arm at the end of the game but I didn't hear anything about it! And still had it on Yesterday during the parade.

CbrGirl Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I wish I was there. They came from Steelers.comI saw him in the sling at the end of the game and if you look at the picture of Ward on the truck he is right beside him in the sling.

Fonzie Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Almost forgot......Was watchin' the Pro Bowl last night, & Rod "the God" Woodson is getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this year!!!!! Looks like he's a 1st balloter. Already called one of my buddies & told him we're takin' a road trip come Aug 8th! Fawcett's gonna be packed again! How AWESOME is it that he's gettin' in the same year we're the first ever to win a 6th Super Bowl!!! I went the last year it was in front of the Hall, when Swanny got inducted, and the following year when they moved it to the stadium & John Stallworth got it. Got to meet & have my picture taken with Donnie Shell that year too! John got in the same year as Jim Kelly.....So you had a schload of Steeler's & Bill's fans that came over to participate. Needless to say.....with a sizeable contingent of both our fanbases.....The place got a little rowdy!! :grin: Probably be the same this year with Rod & Bruce Smith being in the same class. They don't mention in these writeups below, that Rod was the ONLY active player at the time to be named to the NFL 75th Anniversary team. It was a HUGE honor & testament to what a dominant DB he was!The only thing I've ever disagreed with the Rooney's on was when they cut Rod loose. He was the only bright spot on those lousy late 80's/early 90's teams but continued to play his heart out until Cowher got there to make them champions again. I felt like they should've honored him by making sure he retired a Steeler, & not let money get in the way!! It also bothers me that they never retired his number. http://www.profootballhof.com/enshrinement/story.jsp?story_id=3095Class of 2009 announced January 31, 2009 Wide receiver Bob Hayes, guard Randall McDaniel, defensive end Bruce Smith, linebacker Derrick Thomas, owner Ralph Wilson, and defensive back Rod Woodson make up the Class of 2009 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinees.......Woodson, a member of the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team in 1994 and selected to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s, intercepted 71 passes which he returned for an NFL record 1,483 yards and a record 12 touchdowns.
