Jason Taylor mamboed and sambaed to the best of his ability (as far as we know, not having seen any episodes - well, OK, maybe a few here & there). But like his Miami NFL teammates, he just couldn’t win.
Skater Kristi Yamaguchi bested the Dolphins defenseman Tuesday night to claim this season’s “Dancing With The Stars” title. While Taylor did manage a perfect score in his last dance, he was toppled by Yamaguchi’s double dose of dancing perfection.

Now that he’s had a taste of the small screen life, Jason Taylor finds himself thinking more about his acting career than his football one, as noted on ESPN’s Sunday Conversation last night: “In 10 years from now, when I’m 43 years old, I’m hoping that people are talking more about the things I’ve done in the film business than what I did in football or dancing.”
First, let’s nip this in the bud: you didn’t do anything in the world of dancing, Jason. Twyla Tharp’s not quivering in her taps and you’re not exactly on the Gregory Hines career path. You were on a ‘reality TV’ show. Bless you, but you’re not a dancer now.

Jason Taylor continues to samba his way into the hearts of millions of ABC viewers, as the Miami Dolphin keeps on Dancing With The Stars.

Particularly perturbed is Bill Parcells, and as Armando Salguero of the MIAMI HERALD points out, relations between the Big Tuna and Edyta Sliwinska’s sidekick are past the point of repair:

While Jason Taylor Dances with the Stars, Dolphins management might cha-cha his contract over to another club.
The PALM BEACH POST reports that Miami is looking to trade the veteran defensive end, hopefully for a first round pick in this Saturday’s draft.
Rumored to be interested in Taylor’s services are the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were considering Jared Allen before the Chief DE was sent to Minnesota. But when asked about jumping at the chance at Jason, Jags coach Jack Del Rio sounded discouraged, saying “In the history of our league … rarely are teams willing to part with those players.“
But the ‘Fins may be more willing than Jack thinks, as there’s concern that their start player should be drilling instead of dancing:

Jason Taylor is still alive on “Dancing With The Stars”. And now he can use his new-found skills to waltz around and tango away the paparazzi.
Jose Lambiet of the PALM BEACH POST reports that Taylor has been hounded by gossip gatherers hoping to catch the Dolphins defensive star doing some dirty dancing with partner Edyta Sliwinska.
