I would love to have the Asian chicken wings. Love you Hines!
It's great seeing that great smile again! We missed you on the field this year! You dominated in football here in the Burgh and you brought home the Mirror Ball Trophy. We're all rooting for you to bring home this title as well. Love you and your charity. Welcome House through PSBI made us a family when they brought our daughter home to us from S. Korea. You are working with some great people!! Great job on the steak – good luck next weeki!
Did we ever miss him! Thank god for all of the 6 Mirror Ball Trophies! It's so sad that he could not win! Congrats on the daughter. Hope you have a good year.
52 yr old Steeler fan here…..and I must ask you a favor, please Mr Hines Ward….share that recipe with us!!!
I'm not 52 yet… but I'm a huge Steelers fan!!!!! Go Steelers!!!!!
Hines your cooking is amazing .
Did you know that Hines is a member of the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, which advises the President of the United States and to improve the quality of life and opportunities for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders by facilitating increased access to and participation in federal programs where they remain underserved.

Did you know: Hines was criticized for habitually hitting defenders on their blind-side & twice named the NFL's dirtiest player? The most recent was in 2009.
not a dirty player – just a player!!! suck it up
I agree he is an amazing player. Way to stick up for the man YMM
I agree! He is so awesome. It's so sad he is not with the Steelers anymore! :(
I'm so sad (and mad) that Hines Ward got kicked off. Who do these people think they are! Hines Ward is a good person (on and off the field). It's so sad that he could not win. But on the bright side, he won 2 superbowls (lets go STEELERS), and dancing with the stars!!! I hope he continues with his journey with trying to be the best in everything (I think he is the best at everything already)! I want all the recipes and make them all!! Good luck in life, Hines. We all love you!!
