FirstCuts: Another Athlete Wins ‘Dancing’ Finale

I’m bringing great shame on myself, my family and everyone who has ever met me by posting about this, but it’s probably worth mentioning today. For the fourth straight season, an athlete has taken home the title on Dancing With The Stars.↵

↵Ah yes, Kristi Yamaguchi. Having never actually watched the show, I never would’ve known you were on it because all I kept hearing about was Jason Taylor. (Good thing Taylor isn’t with the Dolphins, getting ready for the season with a new coaching staff, right?) Yamaguchi joins a recent run of winners from the world of sports (Emmitt Smith, Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves preceded Yamaguchi).↵↵Ultimately, I don’t have a lot to add to the discourse when it comes to Yamaguchi’s win, so instead, after the jump, another cheap excuse to post the video of Emmitt Smith in what appears to be a bright green silk sleeveless shirt ... because Emmitt, no matter how many words you invent on ESPN, you will never live this down. ↵
