Lawrence Taylor Confirmed for Dancing With the Stars

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"t's official. Lawrence Taylor will try to become the latest ex-NFL player to join Dancing With the Stars, following in the footsteps of Jerry Rice, Warren Sapp and DWtS' 2006 champion Emmit Smith.

The news had leaked in the middle of last week, but it became official last night. Taylor will be joined by Apple founder Steve Wozniak, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, human freak show Steve-O, comedian David Allen Grier, Sex and the City's Gilles Marini (who?), rapper Lil' Kim, singers Jewel and Belinda Carlisle, Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell and rodeo star Ty Murray.

I'm not really much of an expert in handicapping Dancing With the Stars results, but there is no one on this list who could turn the corner on a left tackle like Taylor in his prime. No one could snort cocaine off a hooker better than Taylor either. Whether either of those translates into excellent dance moves is yet to be seen."

1. I wonder if LT will send hookers up to the other competitors rooms

the night before the show.

I heard he did that when he was playing, but I'm not sure if it's true.

5. Taylor was very athletic. He was a very good B-Ball player and golfer

I would expect that he would also do well as a dancer. Combine that with his intense competitive nature, and you have an odds on favorite.
