But the Alabama youngsters may also want to practice their shuffle-ball-chains. Webb is rumored to be a contestant on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. Already capitalizing on her over night fame, the Miss Alabama will be featured in the upcoming  Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and covering the Super Bowl for Inside Addition.

The 13-year NFL veteran told ESPN Radio’s Scott Van Pelt, “As a dancer at this point. I think it’s more of the men, they still look at you as the NFL player but I think the women now look at you as ‘hey that’s that guy who was on Dancing With the Stars, he won it.’ Then they say ‘oh yeah that is Donald Driver.’ No one cares about you playing football anymore; they do care about you winning Dancing With the Stars though.”

Driver has had a busy off season including restructuring his contract with the Green Bay Packers, keeping him with the team until retirement.

After winning the competition last week Driver said, “It took me 13 years to win a Super Bowl. But it only took me one season to win a mirror ball. I’ve been watching the show for a long time and now I know what J.R. felt last year. That is truly something special. I feel the same way. Right now I’m on cloud nine.”

Smirnoff told People.com, ““All I want for my birthday is for Tim Tebow to dance on Dancing with the Stars. Tim is a very talented athlete, that was clear when we saw his performance this past season with Denver.”

But Smirnoff is not alone in catching Tebowmania, producers of the show are also interested in the highly controversial quarterback. The 14th Season of Dancing With The Stars does not premire until March. Past NFL players include Emmit Smith, Jerry Rice, Chad Ochocinco, Hines Ward and Kurt Warner.

Ron Artest has been confirmed as the newest contestant on Dancing With The Stars, and it looks like he will not be the only NBA player to be competing during the lock out…. CBS Sports is reporting Dwyane Wade is also to be in the running to win the Crystal Ball Trophy.

Fellow athlete and former winner Hines Ward confirmed the rumors and told Sports Radio Interviews: “I don’t know, but I did hear rumors and his name did come up. I also heard Ron Artest too.”

The official lineup will be announced after tomorrow’s episode of The Bachelor Pad. No word yet if Wade joins the cast LeBron and Chris Bosh will come as a packaged deal.

With ABC casting the new season of the reality competition, Artest is up for the challenge… kind of, “I’d want to go,” Artest said, “but I’d want to lose in the first round.”

Artest has showed his musical side before releasing his own rap single after the LA Lakers won the 2010 NBA Championship, but Artest is not so sure about dancing, “I don’t want to put my hips in a situation where I’m looking like Rick Fox,” Artest said. “Rick Fox is a great dancer, but I don’t want to put my hips in a situation where people are questioning whether I’m a rapper or a singer.”

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said, “City residents and the Steelers Nation have contacted my office asking for the city to properly thank our hometown hero for once-again shining the spotlight on Pittsburgh.”

Joining Ward at the ceremony will be his dancing partner Kym Johnson, and the day will be officially deemed Hines Ward and Kym Johnson Day.

“I am back to thank the city of Pittsburgh and Steelers Nation for all their support during Dancing With the Stars,” Ward said in a statement.  “I wanted to win this trophy for the city of champions and for the greatest fans in the world.”

After making it to the Super Bowl in Feburary, I am sure Pittsburgh fans were hoping Ward would be bringing a different trophy back to the city…

Hines Ward may be the favorite to win Dancing With The Stars, but let’s not discredit Mike Tyson. The notorious boxer is on the Argentina version of the dance competition show and turning heads with his dance partner and wife Lakhia Spicer .

Although the season hasn’t even started, Baskett was named as the season favorite to win the season. The oddsmaker site Bodog.com put Baskett’s chances at 3:1.

When asked about the upcoming season, Baskett told E!, “It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time in my life. I’m almost back to my prebaby body so I’m excited for all the costumes! I’ve always loved the show, so its really cool I get to be on it. I have a competitive streak in me so I’m so excited to compete!”

I wonder if Kendra’s routines will consist of a pole? Good luck to Kendra, Hines && Sugar Ray!

According to USA Today, Favre is in talks to join the 12th season of Dancing With The Stars. Past NFL superstars who have been on the show include, Kurt Warner, Season 3 winner Emmit Smith and Chad Ochocinco.

The cast of the new season with be announced Feb. 28 during the Bachelor. Favre hopes going on Dancing With The Stars will help clean up his image after sexual harassment allegations by Jenn Sterger… good luck with that one.

Andrews attended last week’s celebration for the 200th episode of Dancing With The Stars. In a video that can be seen here, Andrews is seen leaving the after party at Boulevard 3 night club. A TMZ paparazzi asks her, “Brett Favre or Tarvaris Jackson?” Both are quarterbacks for the Minnesota Vikings, but Andrews’ response surprises everyone when she says, “Aaron Rodgers.”

The TMZ commentators do not catch Andrews’ subliminal message, and even joke she, “may or may not know anything about professional sports.”

Because I may be the only blogger to religiously watch both TMZ Live and Sports Center, I am confident in saying this video is the Rosetta Stone finally liking the two together.

Pictures from the after party of Andrews and her former dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy getting cozy sparked rumors the two were “again” dating… but as evidence shows in the TMZ video, Andrews clearly had Rodgers on her mind.

Keep chasing Erin, this could get you the nod for the Jersey Chaser of the Month for December!
