If you're an avid reader of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, you likely saw the PG's article last Friday about Hines Ward's involvement (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11175/1155828-67.stm#ixzz1QCUkF1W6) with Craftsman (http://www.craftsman.com/)tools and their new, interactive reality web series called 'Screwed'. I might have liked to have sat down with Ward for an intimate hour long conversation in a fantasy land first interview, but really I was quite thrilled to just get a chance to talk to him about his most recent sponsorship and non-football marketing endeavor -- Craftsman's online 'Do It Yourself' reality series that Ward is lending his name to and actually sounds quite pumped up to be a part of.

Ward will explain in greater detail, but basically the premise is to find a decidedly non-handy participant, put them through a rigorous series of DIY projects, and provided the contestant excels and works his or her way through the various projects adeptly, as much as $50,000 cash awaits. Ward makes it clear that he's an aspiring, but not at all competent handyman himself, so I'm guessing he'll want to be around the show and be as hands-on as possible if he's going to be a part of things at all. Kinda like what happened when he agreed to do Dancing With The Stars, I'm guessing Ward will continue to be 'all or nothing' with his endeavors............
