Bengals' Crocker: Hines Ward played a dirty game

Hours following Hines Ward's tearful goodbye to Steeler Nation, one former foe wasn't so sad to see him retire.
Bengals safety Chris Crocker, never a fan of Wards' aggressive blocking habits, said Ward deserved to be a Hall of Famer, but went on to criticize the wide receiver.
"He tried to end people's careers and that's not the way the game is supposed to be played," Crocker told bengals.com.
As the team points out, Crocker joined the team just after Ward blindsided Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers, breaking his jaw. Crocker claims Ward punched him in the face during a play in 2009.
"Stuff like that, it's just not right," Crocker said. "And I'm not the only guy that thinks it."
