Need proof that the NFL lockout is affecting players? Here it is: Despite his recent stint on Dancing With The Stars, Hines Ward got pulled over in Los Angeles at 2 AM last night and handcuffed at gunpoint—for driving a stolen Honda Civic! Okay, okay, so it turns out that Ward was actually just a passenger in the Civic. According to a TMZ report, the female driver of the car had reported it stolen after an incident with a valet a few days earlier. But she hadn't called to report that it was recovered. So police cuffed Ward and his female companion (er, jumpoff?) until they were able to clear things up and release them from the scene.

But, still, dude: A Honda Civic!? We know you can do better! [via Shutdown Corner]
