JT Gets To Show Off His Twinkle Toes

What do Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith and Jason Taylor have in common? Yes, they all play(ed) football, but that's not all. No, when Taylor makes his dancing debut in March, they will all have been contestants on "Dancing With The Stars".

That's right, Jason Taylor, the NFL's sack leader in 2002, will be cutting a rug instead of cutting down quarterbacks. He'll also have some high expectations regarding NFL players and the show because Rice finished 2nd in the spring of '06 and Smith won the competition in the fall of '06. Hopefully, he finishes better on the dance floor than his team did on the field last season.

My main concern is that he doesn't get himself injured while competing on the show. While it is a longshot, it's certainly a possibility. And it would be embarrassing for him, and a huge blow to a team that's trying to rebuild for yet another year.

Emmitt "Twinkle Toes" Smith Broadens Our Knowledge Of Dancing

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I can't help but be proud of everything that former Florida running back Emmitt Smith has accomplished. Seeing what he was able to do on the field was amazing. Fortunately for all of us, he was able to carry that over to the dance floor, and we all got a healthy dose of Emmitt shakin' his groovethang. Naturally, with his "Dancing With The Stars" victory came endorsement deals, and an explanation of exactly what dancing means to him. Listen, as Emmitt tells us about elongation.



And then he tells us about the dances he's familiar with. Please picture Emmitt breakdancing, and/or poppin' and lockin' for added entertainment value.



Finally, Emmitt lets us know about how it felt to have America critiquing him.



There's also a radio commercial playing on a local station with Emmitt endorsing this particular studio, and talking about the "Emmitt Effect". I'll see if I can get that uploaded as well at some point.
