Hines Ward going Dancing...

[Mr. Scot 35,041]

...with the Stars, starting March 21.

He'll be only the second active NFL player to do so (Jason Taylor was the first). Lots of other retired guys have gone before, most recently Kurt Warner.

Sugar Ray Leonard and WWE wrestler Chris Jericho will also be part of this season.

Im sure several of you figured id be the first to post this. Screw you guys :dita:

[Mr. Scot 35,041]

Well, if you wanna be all insecure about it, Kendra Wilkinson is taking part too :lol:

[Kettle 765]

will there be poles on stage for Kendra?

[Jangler 1,205]

Great. Another 3 hours a week on ABC I don't have to watch.

[Mr. Scot 35,041]

will there be poles on stage for Kendra?

From what I've seen of the show, I think that's the role her partner will play :lol:

One of the other Playboy girls did it too (don't remember her name).

[Boltergeist 212]

Watch your knees Kirstie Alley and Wendy Williams

[Dpantherman 558]

Final 2 will be the Karate kid and Sugar Ray Leonard.

[Mr. Scot 35,041]

I assume Ward has been told that blindside and cut blocks are against ballroom rules.

And what, nobody thinks Jericho can dance?

[Dpantherman 558]

3rd place

[Mr. Scot 35,041]

What about Ward? You don't think he'll restore NFL dominance to this show?

Petra Nemcova is the other "hot chick" this season. Recent Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell was set to be on it but turned it down.

Also listed in the cast: Chelsea Kane and Mike Catherwood. Not sure what their "star" qualifications are. I honestly haven't the first clue who either of them is :confused:

According to Ward, dancing will help him get over the depression of losing the Super Bowl (PFT)

Ward says that he’s now dedicated completely to earning the Mirror Ball Trophy, which is awarded to the winner of Dancing With the Stars.

“It’s all about the Mirror Ball,” Ward said. “I couldn’t get the Lombardi Trophy, but I have an opportunity to get the Mirror Ball and put that on my mantel with all my other hardware.”

Wonder what happens if he loses this too.
