Day to Day Life

Hey all this is Derrick Ward (a.k.a. Wind). I am writing this blog to give my fans a little insight into my day-to-day life. They call me Wind because of my ability to do everything: pass protect, be shifty, catch the ball, and run hard between the tackles. However, you may not know that the main reason I am called, “Wind” is because of my laid back, easygoing California personality.

When I am not at football I just try to get a lot of sleep. Last night I watched Street Kings and I loved the plot of a corrupt California cop. I am all about drama, action and suspense movies and my favorite movie right now would have to be the new Batman. Sometimes after Monday’s practice I will head down to Atlantic City with a couple of friends just to get away for the night. I enjoy going out and trying new restaurants as often as possible. For those of you who were wondering I am not a gamer, in fact I am an old soul who enjoys reading the newspaper every morning while drinking a cup of coffee.

I wanted to let my fans know about my new website www.DWard34.com and the T-shirt design that I came up with. I think the shirt is unique in the fact that it accentuates a picture of me after scoring a touchdown and the overall design is a true depiction of my personality. When I was a boy I never thought I would be able to have my own image on shirt, it’s humbling and I am grateful for the opportunity that I have been given.

This week we are heading into Arizona with a 9-1 record, which is a true testament to our overall team cohesiveness. Offensively our team goals are to rush and pass for 200+ yards each. That is going to be a battle this week because the Cardinals are only giving up 87 yards a game on the ground. My role will be the same this week as it has previously been. Brandon Jacobs had a full work out today and will be ready for Sunday’s game.

My First Blog

Welcome to Dward34.com the Official website of Derrick Ward’s, and the home to Derrick’s blog. First thanks for checking out my new website. This site will be your avenue to find out everything you need to know about me, Derrick Ward. As you know, I am one of three running backs for the New York Giants. We have been dubbed “Earth, Wind, and Fire.”

There has been some early controversy over whether I am Wind or Fire spurred on by an article involving Justin Tuck. For those of you who don’t know, or who missed the Sunday morning pre-game show I dubbed myself as Wind. I want to know which label you think I am and why. You can comment on my blog to let me know what you think.

I will be posting a weekly blog for my fans. In my blog I will be answering questions from my fans, and other interviewers. Make sure to post your questions and comments. I will try to get to as many as possible! Thanks again for visiting my website. I look forward to reading your questions and comments.
