The Top 10 Couples I'd Like to See on DWTS

DWTS - Emmitt.jpg
​
Granted, it would force me to actually watch the ridiculousy cheesy show, but I'd be willing to stomach Dancing With The Stars' sequins and sass and smarminess of Tom Bergeron if only I could orchestrate whom was boogieing down with whom.

Following in the "Foxtrot" footsteps of Emmitt Smith, Cowboys' Hall of Famer Michael Irvin will be on this season's show. I hear that Troy Aikman declined an invitation last year and Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan owner Jerry Jones said during his new weekly show that - despite his nifty moves in those Papa Johns's commercials - he doesn't consider himself a candidate.

"I had the step at one time," Jones said, "but these days it's a little off."

For me to get into DWTS, I want star power. I want sports. I want drama. I want conflict. I want skin. I want couples. I want ...

Shaq and Shawn Johnson would make a cute couple dancing around. But my first choice would be for the this show to go off the air or at least only be shown in Germany.

You bring up a VERY good point Richie. Why have there not been any all girl couples on these programs? That's sexist and just wrong! I say we organize an all girl march on Hollywood!

I would stop breaking down NFL game film one night and tune in if there were a couple of Victoria Secret models competing as a couple, ....for sure.

Name that Dude Singing Like a Rolling Stone says:

@ scott...

That was a very democratic-like post for you. Aren't most Repulicans anti-gay? The one I would not like to see is scott and Fatass38. I would not like to see scott's inability to control his wood on national TV.

Secondly, "...stop breaking down NFL film for a night..." Really?!?!? If that statement is even half way true, that paints you as an even bigger idiot than most think you already are. You break down film on a nightly basis and think that Fatass38 is even remotely good coupled with your new infatuation with Barbie Crap-enter makes believe you just may be a full on retard (used in the most proper of ways).

Sincerely,

scott's box of rocks

My vote is for Penelope Cruz vs. Salma Hayek. They could have a contest to see who could get their tight dresses off the sexiest while dancing. Kissing each other while dancing. Touching themselves while dancing. Stuff like that. The tag-line for the season can be, "Penelope vs. Salma: whoever loses, we win." Oh yeah!

@Name....

1) I'm a libertarian,...you idiot

2) The reason I spend 3-5 hours a night breaking down NFL game film is to be THE voice of reason on Sportatorium. This is what gives me the insight to recognize that No 38 wasn't in a 'safety friendly' system the last couple of years, so he looked bad to the naked eye.

As for you not getting this type of penetrating insight, it doesn't bother me because like Galileo and Copernicus; my genius probably won't be recognized in my day.

Good day sir ... I think this pretty much says it all.
