Marty Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Is this another football guy? I do have to say I did love my Emmit even though I never heard of him before the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 He is definitely another football guy. I'm not sure he could live up to Emmit, but I am hoping he will be lovable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoerin Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 L.T. was a FABULOUS Player. He was a linebacker who played his entire career with the Giants. He was picked #2 in the first round of the 1981 draft, and just dominated defensively at his position. He got into trouble several times during his career for his use of drugs, particularly cocaine. In spite of this, after retirement, he was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame! He's 50 years old now, but still looks in remarkable shape! Don't know why, but this reminded me of a joke from the 1988 Presidential elections here in the good ole USofA! Hard to believe this was over 20 years ago, but some of you might remember the election well! Michael Dukakis, then the Governor of Massachusetts, was the Democratic Challenger. - Like many politicians, Michael was often seen with his wife Kitty on the campaign trail. So the joke was - What do Lawrence Taylor and Kitty Dukakis have in Common? They both occasionally blow a little dope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwishes Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sono -- I gotta admit, if I were a guy, I'd be hot for Edyta!! But her husband, I could be hot for Alec! I agree I've always thought Edyta was beautiful, especially her long legs. However, the judges were right - she and Lawrence don't have much chemistry on the dance floor.

ILoveDaniele Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I thought it was awesome that the judges said watching their tango, they couldn't tell who was the pro and who was the star Giles = Travolta - (flight lessons + Disco) well...at least for NOW he is without the disco -Kyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
