It's official. Lawrence Taylor will try to become the latest ex-NFL player to join Dancing With the Stars, following in the footsteps of Jerry Rice, Warren Sapp and DWtS' 2006 champion Emmit Smith.

The news had leaked in the middle of last week, but it became official last night. Taylor will be joined by Apple founder Steve Wozniak, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, human freak show Steve-O, comedian David Allen Grier, Sex and the City's Gilles Marini (who?), rapper Lil' Kim, singers Jewel and Belinda Carlisle, Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell and rodeo star Ty Murray.
I'm not really much of an expert in handicapping Dancing With the Stars results, but there is no one on this list who could turn the corner on a left tackle like Taylor in his prime. No one could snort cocaine off a hooker better than Taylor either. Whether either of those translates into excellent dance moves is yet to be seen.
