This week on the Smarter Sports Blog we covered:
If you’re a follower of the show (don’t act like you’re not) Dancing with the Stars, then this shouldn’t be news to you. But for those of you who are not (or in denial), this should be news to you.
A man was arrested on the set after he jumped a fence, while armed with two pistols and duct tape.
Robert O’Ryan, 34, was arrested for trying to see Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson, who is 17 and a performer on the popular show.
O’Ryan said in police statements that he moved from Florida to California to be with Johnson and that they were meant to be together and have children. Hmm…sure buddy.
I once had an obsession for Jessica Rabbit. I went to the studio lot to find her, but they told me she wasn’t real. Even tried to find her agent, but had no luck. It’s OK, she’s just playing hard to get. I like that in a woman.
Jessica, if you’re reading this…nevermind. I don’t want to ruin the thrill of the chase. SEE YOU SOON!

This week on the Smarter Sports Blog we covered:
Apparently retirement isn’t that exciting for Lawrence Taylor.
He’s going to become the latest athlete to take the stage for the TV show, “Dancing with the Stars.”
He has some big shoes to fill, as former NFL players and athletes usually make it to the show’s final, even taking home the trophy.
I’m more worried that Mr. Taylor will lose his imposing presence.
Usually doing the mashed potatoe does that.
We already knew Warren Sapp was a heck of a football player. Hey, he even was a bit light on his toes when he placed second on Dancing with the Stars. But Warren Sapp as a swimmer? Sorry, I’m not really buying it.
Well, apparently he was confident in his swimming abilities when he challenged Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps to a swimming race in a Florida pool. Of course, he needed a half a pool-length start. Oddly enough, it was still pretty close.
Check it out for yourself.
Reggie Bush Jerseys New Orleans Saints Gear
A bust: pertains to a player who has not lived up to his/her athletic potential.
That term is slowly, but surely getting associated with Reggie Bush. Although he’s put up some good numbers over the years, the Houston Texans are looking more like prophets for drafting Mario Williams ahead of the former Heisman Trophy winner. Especially after this latest set back.
It looks like that left knee of Bush’s is going to give him some more problems and is inching him closer to that horrific title every athlete hopes to avoid. Bush had another surgery on his knee, making it his third procedure. He’s going to need months of rehab, but is expected to be ready for mini-camp in June.
Poor Reggie Bush. Well, good thing he got that nice contract when he entered the league, because from the looks of it, he won’t be getting another one like it. But hey, if he hangs around with Kim Kardashian after his career, maybe he can earn a paycheck then with reoccurring appearances on her show.
Hey, it’s either that or Dancing with the Stars, and that looks to be a long shot. We don’t need him blowing out his knee doing the jitterbug.
It looks like Jason Taylor won’t be dancing on South Beach this season.
The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year looks to be on his way to the Washington Redskins after after agreeing to terms with the Miami Dolphins.
The Redskins receive one of the elite pass rushers in the league, where the Dolphins will receive a second round pick in the future.
The Skins were in need of another pass rusher after defensive end Phillip Daniels went down with a knee injury the first day of training camp. It’s been said that he has torn the ACL in his left knee and will miss the entire season.
Taylor, if you didn’t know, was also a hit on the reality show Dancing with the Stars. I’m not sure how the dance clubs are up in D.C., but I’m sure it can’t be any better than the salsa down in Miami.

This week in news and sports blogs around the Net:
And in Smarter Sports we talked about:
Did “Dancing with the Stars” champion Helio Castroneves, 32, come away with the trophy and his dancing partner/coach Julianne Hough?
That is the rumor floating around after the race car driver announced that he broke off the engagement to his fiance and girlfriend of 6-years Aliette Vazquez, who is of the same age.
Nothing is confirmed and he hasn’t admitted to the romance, but he and Hough, 19, have been spotted getting close and personal around town in Beverly Hills shopping together.
I personally don’t see what the problem is. At least he and Vasquez didn’t get married and fall into a messy divorce. That could have cost him a lot of money.
Let’s look at the bright side of things people!?
