Tolbert might get his "Dancing" dream


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

So apparently there are rumors that Panthers Fullback / Dancing Bear Mike Tolbert might just have a shot at being in the upcoming Dancing with the Stars cast.

Speculation on this is largely based on his Twitter exchange with Alfonso Ribeiro after doing "The Carlton" as a touchdown celebration.

As it turns out, Ribeiro actually has a voice in the casting choices.

And Tolbert may not be the only Panthers back who wants to take to the dance floor, as Jonathan Stewart posted this on his Instagram account.

Quote

#handjive holla at me dancing with the stars! #nfl #panthers

Unknown if Stewart is serious, but Tolbert has expressed many times how much he'd love to be a contestant on the show.

(heck, after his performance at that grade school a while back, I wonder if they'd call Luke Kuechly)

Don't know if there's anything to the rumors (my guess: there's not) but it'd sure be fun to watch Tolbert give it a go. Admittedly, I'm hoping even more that he hits the field next season in a Panthers uniform again, but either way it's kind of fun to know that the Panthers are in the national consciousness for things like this.  And hey, if they keep winning, they may just stay there.

I wish Tolbert - and Stewart if he wants it - good luck on both fronts.

(and yeah, welcome to the offseason)

Nice find. Hope he does it. On a side note, I've never actually seen a full episode. 

My gym had it on one of their TV screens one night. Andy Dick prancing around like the idiot that his is. Horrific

It's definitely geared to a female audience (girlfriend is absolutely obsessed) but I would point out there are certain...elements... to appeal to the male viewer as well.

i cannot fathom exchanging my time to watch that show

Or even worse, being Mike and exchanging the countless hours required to be a part of it.  

Mike's a big boy but here's hoping he spends that time with his friends, loved ones, and trainers here in the Carolinas instead.

So the whole "hey they can spend their off time however they want to" doesn't apply to Tolbert?  I mean are we seriously gonna play the 'he should be in the film room' thing here?

It's something he really wants to do.  And not only is it harmless, but it's actually a good workout. So what's the big deal?

Actually, because if the physical demands, the show might be a good thing for Tolbert. He would really have to get into shape, so it may turn out to be a positive experience from that angle.

    • The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......
    • Truth. Like when UNC hired Butch Davis and then we get hit for recruiting violations. Like yeah, no poo. Dude coached Miami when they we paying like the 33rd NFL team. What did you expect?
    • He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
