The Curse of Dancing With the Stars!

Yikes.... It looks like the Green Bay Packers 2012 season will end just as disappointing as the 2011 season.  Never before in the history of the NFL has a team won a Super Bowl after having a player participate in Dancing With the Stars.  History has proven this fact.  Jason Taylor, Chad Ochocinco and Hines Ward have set this precedent, and my money is on Driver continuing it.  Today it was announced that Driver would participate {click here for full story} on the gut wrenching Dancing With the Stars - why the hell does anyone watch this show.  When we attempted to reach Driver for comment [he didn't respond considering we have no contact information, however I can imagine what he would say] "my career is almost over, this might segway me into the booth."  I'm sure Aaron Rodgers is thrilled by this development as well.  

Essentially I think it boils down to the following question.  Why on Earth would you want to put an additional target on your back?  Didn't the Pack go through this last year, with teams starting to try to knock them out to earn extra credit with the media & fans for a quality win?  I'm sure Ndamukong Suh will have added incentive to stomp additional Packers.  Plus, for a team whose haters often call them the Fudge Packers, was this really a smart move?  I just think this reeks of desperation, and the Packers will regret the distraction.  Don't be surprised that if Jay Cutler stays healthy the Bears win the division.  Especially if they can add a guy like Vincent Jackson.

On a positive note, the NFL season begins on Wednesday, September 5th.  This means that the school year can start off on the right foot here in New York, with welcomed distractions abound.  


Special note to all NFL players - you will curse your team if you go on DWTS. You will not win a Super Bowl. But you may retire... or be forced into it.....
