Hey Terrell Suggs, tell us how you really feel.

The Ravens linebacker spoke recently about the rivalry between Baltimore and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he pulled no punches. It was clear from his comments he has serious disdain for former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward.

“We might get into a fight while we’re doing something. You know what I’m saying. It was personal. It was personal,” Suggs said. We wanted to kill Hines Ward. I had to threaten him before every play like, ‘If you crack me, I swear to God I’m going to break your neck.’ ”

Ward’s borderline style of play rubbed a lot of players the wrong way. Few players could physically intimidate and psychologically manipulate opponents the way Ward could.

But one theme that always followed the rivalry was respect. As much as players like Suggs and Ward wanted to destroy each other on game day, they still respected each other. It’s what makes the Steelers-Ravens rivalry far more legitimate than the rivalry between the Steelers and a team like the Cincinnati Bengals.
