Hines Ward has relied on sure hands to become the Steelers' career receiving leader. Now, the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XL will show off fancy footwork on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

Ward, who turns 35 on March 8, found ballroom dancing a diversion in the likelihood of an NFL lockout. Ward was announced Monday night as one of 11 contestants on Season 12 of the popular reality show, which premieres March 21.

Ward is the fourth NFL wide receiver to appear on the reality show, following Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin and Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Ochocinco. Ward joins Ochocinco and New York Jets defensive end Jason Taylor, a former Woodland Hills High School star who was released by the Jets yesterday, as the only active NFL players to be "Dancing With The Stars" contestants.

TMZ.com reported that Ward's dance partner will be Kym Johnson.............

I really enjoy the show and particularly, the NFL contestants. Emmit Smith was great and won the trophy a few years back and most of the guys have made it to the Top 5. I particularly enjoyed Warren Fat Ass Sapp and Kurt Warner - both did a fantastic job movin' and groovin' like that considering how big they both are. I even enjoyed StinkoCrotcho and actually found him charming. :horror: :heh: Hines is smaller than those guys, can work magic with those feet and should do very well. :thumbsup:

I have my Terrible Towel ready to wave, and my fingers are flexed for speedy phone voting... This is great news - - I think he will do well - - I was hoping that Cheryl would be his partner - she does so well with the NFL guys, but Kym is fantastic, too.....
Emmett Smith and Jason Taylor have been my favorite NFL'ers on the show so far and I even sorta 'liked' Ochostinko a little bit better during his season..... The athletes that have been on the show all talk about how it helped them stay / get into shape..... I just hope that Hines' knees can handle the stress.... Can't wait to see that Million dollar smile, as well.... Go, Hines....

Yep all 6 channels, Black and White of course!!! Remember quite a few times dad hitting the T.V. to improve the reception too.

Ah yes the good ole days!!! LOL I remember them well

Of course back then you never got to watch T.V. because your parents wanted you to play outside...specially when Dad wanted to watch Watergate or some other news. Sheesh!!!

Sorry guys but if it's Hines I gotta watch.

Who's next James Harrison??? Hell if he is all he has to do is put on his game face and chase the other contestants off the stage...he'll win by default!!!

Simone Ward is the wife of Pittsburgh Steeler star receiver Hines Ward. The two met when they were both teenagers growing up in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

Dangit Hines...now I have to watch. I never watched reality TV before, except one episode of American Idol so I could get the number to vote for Sanjaya.

Wow. I'm floored. He always talks about his son but I've never, ever read anything thing about a wife.

No wonder he denied going to the strip club. :chuckle:

I'm not into watching that kind of thing & don't want to sit out the whole show to wait for him to come on so I'll keep tabs on it with clips or something maybe but all in all it doesn't interest me much.

Seriously you guys didn't know he was married?

Actually, you'd be shocked at what the "big guys" can do on that dance floor. Blubber Boy Warren Sapp could really shake 'em down - he was a pleasure to watch out there and very funny. :thumbsup:

Rashard would be great, but I would love to see Lamarr Woodley on it. He's got such a low, sexy voice ....I bet he could really make some moves!

I have never watched Dancing with the Stars, frankly I never cared for their loose interpretation of the word "STAR" but seeing Hines on it would be awesome. I will watch to see how he does. Looks like he pulled a great partner for the show!

LMAO!!!! :lol: :lol:

I think James Harrison would be a great contestant, too. There's something incredibly alluring and sexy about him. I'd love to see him partnered with Cheryl Burke. :thumbsup:

Hines and Kym will be really cute together!
