NFL Dominates DWTS

Erin Andrews and Chad Ochocinco last season, now Troy Aikman and Kurt Warner this season. What up, NFL domination of Dancing with the Stars.

Dead couple of days in sports?? Not so much...

Okay, so with Spain's impressive victory over the Netherlands yesterday in the World Cup final and the end of the Lebron Love(Hate)fest, not to mention the inevitable post-July 4th low, there doesn't seem to be much going on right now in sports (or subsequently, in life). Baseball is the only sport to watch, and even it is experiencing a few days of All-Star Break rest. Even though many sports fans at least attempt to use these next couple of days to play it off like they're taking a break from sports for a while, there's no denying it: these next few days suck.

Oh, but you'd be so, so, so wrong. While ESPN might be spitting out World Series of Poker re-runs or trick shot pool to the public, the people behind the scenes have made a decision that has awesome implications for the upcoming college football season: College Gameday is now an hour longer, and that extra hour is going to revolve around Erin Andrews.

Now, I know that this announcement may seem primarily geared towards male enjoyment (in addition to the number of female admirers, which I'd guess is higher than you'd think), but in reality, everyone benefits from this addition.

This is (mostly) for you gents:

Erin Andrews Death Threats

First a peeping Tom, now death threats. Erin Andrews, apparent dirt-ball magnet, has been receiving threatening phone calls and emails over the past couple of months, but still plans on performing tonight on Dancing with the Stars. Andrews said she doesn't want to let down her partner, the show or the fans. With around-the-clock security, ABC will also be upping the security on set tonight. Way to be a trooper, Erin.

Erin Andrew's Perv Sentenced

Michael David Barrett, the perv from Illinois who was caught stalking ESPN reported Erin Andrews, was given the maximum sentence for his peeping-Tom ways. Barrett, who had secretly shot nude videos of Andrews through two different hotel room peepholes, received 2 1/2 years in prison and 2 years probation after his release. After putting the videos on the internet and trying to sell the footage to TMZ, I'd say the creep got off pretty easy - too bad the maximum wasn't longer.

Sports Stars Dancing with the Stars

Just announced, (During The Bachelor finale, naturally) Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews and the United States' 2010 Olympic champion Evan Lysacek will be three of this season's 10 newest Dancing with the Stars competitors. I mean, personally I'm holding out for Erin Andrews to whoop some ass... but then again, the thought of Ochocinco in tights is prettty tempting.
