Larry Bird was one of the "best" trash-talkers ever. These are professional athletes with millions of dollars at stake based on their success or failure. To play at that level takes talent and desire which often manifests as trash talking and rougher play than necessary. (And the 10 cups of coffee before the game doesn't hurt, either.) All these guys do is talk trash to one another. It's part of the game.
Hines Ward was named NFL's humanitarian of the year not long ago. He's a competitor.
