Congratulations to Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward – your newest “Dancing With the Stars” champion. Unbelievably, that makes not one but two players who can boast a DWTS trophy and a Super Bowl MVP trophy on their mantel.

After losing in Super Bowl XLV to Cheesehead Nation, Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward is turning to cheese to aid in his quest for a title on “Dancing With the Stars.”

The pressure is on WR Hines Ward as he performs in “Dancing with the Stars.” Just as the Steelers expect to compete for a Super Bowl championship every year, Ward’s teammates are expecting him to bring home the gold — or whatever the color of that trophy is.

Hines Ward, moments after his first dance, was asked by Brooke Burke if winning “Dancing with the Stars” would make up for the Steelers’ loss in the Super Bowl. Because yeah, those things are totally to same.

Producers for “Dancing with the Stars” are reportedly after Steelers WR Hines Ward according to Bob Pompeani of KDKA TV in Pittsburgh, (via Sports Nation).

One week after basketball player Rick Fox and his partner Cheryl Burke got the axe, Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya were eliminated from “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday night. They were the last couple eliminated before the semifinals.

Kurt Warner and his partner, Anna Trebunskaya, amassed one more point than Bristol Palin and her partner, Mark Ballas, dancing the waltz to the Eagles’ classic “Take It to the Limit” on Monday night.

Several former NFL greats from Warren Sapp to Michael Irvin were in the audience to watch Kurt Warner compete — an upset in itself considering Warner’s performance last week seemed certain to send him home.

Not even Bret Michaels, former lead man of ’80s hairband Poison, could bring the rock-n-roll out of Kurt Warner Monday night during what could be Kurt’s last night on “Dancing With the Stars.”

The Kurt Warner-less Cardinals had to rely on a missed Sebastian Janikowski field goal to eek out a 24-23 win Sunday over the Oakland Raiders. On Monday night, Warner scored three points less than his former team. But that was enough to make his second week of “Dancing with the Stars” a success.

Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco has uttered the words that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has longed to hear: He will not dance. Well, at least not Tuesday night on “Dancing With The Stars.” In the end zone? That might be a completely different story.

Chad Ochocinco‘s “Dancing With The Stars” bid fell just short.

Football fans spend so much time voting on the NFL’s Pro Bowl teams, NFL.com’s random reader polls, or even the non-football, football-like Dancing With The Stars.

They vote for Jerry Rice, they vote for Emmitt Smith, they vote for Jason Taylor and now they vote for Warren Sapp — and by the way, we’re not supposed to tell people who to vote for, but vote Warren!
