With the lockout looming, word is Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is taking his talents to the dance floor, close associates of Wards tell Inside Pittsburgh Sports.com.
Ward I'm told is en route to Los Angeles today and will be apart of the Season 12 "Dancing with the Stars" cast. The entire season 12 cast will be announced on Monday in Los Angeles.
The "Dancing with the Stars" season 12 will premiere Monday, March 21, 2011 at 8 p.m on ABC.
Chad O'chocinco, Jason Taylor and Emmitt Smith are among former NFL stars to participate in Dancing with the Stars.

He can't dance. This should be good. I've never watched that show, but I guess I will have to now

OMG, I think this is great!

I am a huge fan of Dancing with the Stars. And, if you give it half a chance, you'll
find it's not quite as hokey as some of you may think.

Sure, they may have some "campy" moments, but if you ever watch the show long
enough to see how some of these folks progress with their lessons you realize
it's a whole lot of hard work and many just flat out crack under the pressure.

I have a lot of respect for the ones who have no dancing or choreography in their
background and yet who listen to their instructors and find out they are capable of
so much more than they thought. (It's the Kristi Yamaguchi's that should NOT be on
that show that really pisc me off.)

When Emmitt Smith won it, you could really see how hard he listened to the critiques
from the judges and how hard he paid attention to his instructor. He really looked
good. Chad Ochocinco played around too much, but even he had his humbler moments.
Jason Taylor was great too except he looked like a 747 out on the dance floor.

I think Hines, with his underdog attitude, will do just fine.

And, I can hardly wait to see him in those skin tight, bare chested outfits they put some of the guys in for the Latin dances like the Paso Doble. Ooooh baby!

(Sorry Pap, couldn't resist! )

Re: Hines is "Dancing with the Stars"

Dancing with the Stars is suspect... the outfits aren't a good look but with a lockout looming it makes sense for Hines and other players to do whatever they can to keep their name out their and make some money while they are at it.

Is Hines a distraction now?

Will he throw Ben under the bus?

Will Ben be in the audience?

Re: Hines is "Dancing with the Stars"

Can you imagine if he wins?

I have one ACL, and nobody gave me a chance, and I won!

I didn't think Jennifer Grey was fair either, if you watch her in the movie Dirty Dancing you can see she has had prior dancing experience.

See? Mark Madden gets it.

How would Hines Ward react if a teammate followed a subpar season by appearing on "Dancing With the Stars"? Ward would go CRAZY, right?

So...how am I supposed to react if Ward, as rumored, participates on "Dancing With the Stars"? Ward had just 59 catches this past campaign, his low since 2000. Shouldn't I be OUTRAGED? Shouldn't FOCUS be an issue? PREPARATION? The Steelers LOST the Super Bowl. Ward's stats FADED. FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL!

Actually, I hope Ward does it. It's fun. I'm looking forward to Hines sashaying around the dance floor.

Maybe he can re-learn how to get open. WHAMMY!

Football players must play football at all times...

Ben and the OL should have never done WWE... it ruined our teams focus.

You missed Madden's point. His point is Hines lives by his own rules and calls out others.

Btw, the Steelers won four straight after Ben hosted RAW.
