Miami Dolphins defensive star & Dancing fool Jason Taylor already said that he was skipping out on Friday’s voluntary mini-camp.

The team’s response? If you’re not coming in on Friday, don’t bother coming in to training camp at all.

The MIAMI HERALD reports that Taylor won’t be showing up during the Dolphins’ summer practice. Coach Tony Sparano announced on Wednesday that Taylor “will not attend any of the team’s minicamps, organized team activities (OTA) or training camp.” He declined to further elaborate or answer any questions from the media.

So, is this the last waltz for Taylor in south Florida? Is he finally free to further pursue his dreams of Hollywood stardom? Will Bill Parcells bid him a tearful goodbye?

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.

Still, we loved Taylor in The Defensive End That Ate London and are rooting for him to pull a key supporting role in Cloverfield II: Electric Boogaloo (with heavy promotional sponsorship by Dramamine). Certainly, we expect him to be more successful than Tiki Barber, who was last spotted… actually, has anyone seen Tiki Barber recently? (No points for spotting Ronde.)

When it comes to off-field activities, it seems that Bill Parcells prefers his players toking up instead of getting down.

While the Dolphins boss isn’t so thrilled with Jason Taylor out dancing with the stars, the Big Tuna doesn’t appear to have a big problem with Ricky Williams and his past herbal recreation.
