from www.profootballtalk.nbcsports.com – Dallas Morning News reporter Gromer Jeffers Jr. drew an interesting assignment on Monday night: Hang out in a local strip club to see if any of the NFL players in town for the Super Bowl stop by.

As it turned out, Jeffers wrote a story saying that Hines Ward, Ike Taylor and several other members of the Steelers visited Dallas Gentlemen’s Club, and thata number of other pro athletes were there as well.

Ward, however, says that’s not true.

“Who’d you hear that from? I wasn’t there,” Ward said. “I went out. It’s none of your business where I went.”

The Dallas Morning News has published a transcript of Ward’s comments today at Super Bowl Media Day, but there’s no word on whether the paper stands by its report.
