Man! I am sick of seeing articals about JT not caring about football or the dolphins, just because he is going to be on dancing with the stars. GET OVER IT!!! Can the man have some fun with out it having to do with the PHINS. He has been busting his *** for years for us I think he deserves a break don't you? Besides It's not like he is going to go soft, He will still be exercising. do you see what kind of shape dancers are in.
What is the big deal?

Run the Ball. Stop the Run.
I agree. This guy has played his heart out on some pretty terrible teams for us. I plan on voting like crazy for the guy. It's about time the Dolphins won something.

I didn't watch that trash before and I certainly won't start now. JT should just focus on football while he is still a FOOTBALL PLAYER!
Plenty of time for the Hollywood pretty boy act after he is away from football.
Pretty lame that he is doing it IMO!

Is he a good dancer? LOL
Totally agree!! WHo give a **** if this happens. I'm sure Taylor already had this in the works when Cam was here. So first off, this don't necessarily reflect on anything Parcells. And why in the hell would it be an indication the guy isn't going to play passed his current contract of 2 years??? doesn't make sense

I don't see why everyone is so upset. I watch the show and this is a grueling process for these people. Its a great workout, and the people need to be in excellent cardiovascular condition, at least to make it very far on the show. Heck, it may also improve balance and coordination. THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL. Jason has played long enough that missing some off season training is not going to hinder his performance on the field in any way. I say go for it, get your mind off football and have fun. Come back when its over and tear it up!!! Just don't see why everyone is making a big deal over this.

I don't have a problem with JT dancing, but I will agree with other posters when I say that this will, and is interfering with his first obligation, and that is to this franchise. Has he not been sufferring from plantar fascia or some foot ailment for the last 2 years. Some people baby these athletes like we should let them do whatever they want because they have been dedicated in the past. To the people who don't care, how much did steeler fans care about big ben riding a motorcycle before his accident, how many cared after. If JT were to suffer an injury because of a stupid reality show for washed up celebrities, I would be pissed.

Would you me not as pissed if he suffered, say, a whiplash inury driving home from training or a game ala Zach? He could get hurt anywhere. Jason has been decicated to the PHINS from day 1 and gave heart and soul to this team. This show will be over in time for him to report when the other veterans report so it would, IMO, have no bearing on his ability to fullfill his obligation to the team.
You seem to be forgetting that he is contractually obligated to be at all mini-camps and OTA's. You are also forgetting, he has been royally compensated for "working his *** off" for years. He got rich and famous because of the Dolphins, they didn't force him to do anything that he didn't agree to.

Then you should also note that if this was a violation of his contract the Dolphins would put a stop to it so your argument that his contractually obligated will not hold water with me.
To me that says one of two things; a) He has already gotten BP's/ Ireland's consent to participate in the show or, more likely, b) that there actually is something to the rumor that he is going to be traded.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see, huh?
Yep. Plenty of time for the hollywood junk after your playing days are over. Either then or after a season is over thanks to blowing home field advantage following a 13-3 season with a loss in your first home playoff game to the Giants, mainly because you were too busy going hollywood down the stretch of the season and during a first round bye. That can be the difference in a 3pt loss and a 3pt win vs. an eventual SB champ that is all about playing.
Ask Parcells how much he cares for guys that go hollywood. Well right now he would give you a bs answer given that his best defensive player that is currently on the roster is going hollywood on him. But, if you wouldve asked him years ago or even now in a closed room with no media or mics/cameras etc.
Well NO. But I make very little compared to NFL players. Not only that I make little compared to most people(I do have a noble profession though). When you play on the HIGHEST level then its probably best to focus on your job ALMOST all the time. Its not like they dont get a couple months off where they can do whatever anyways in the league.
On top of that he is getting paid about 8 mil this year. Personally if it were me, and I played in the league I would want to maximize my performance as much as possible. Which would mean buckling down hard about 10 months of the year to make sure I perform at the highest level that I could given my talent.
But, no one has to. Then again, like I said. Thats the difference in 3pt wins and 3pt losses vs. eventual SB champions in your building in the playoffs. Dont believe me, ask Romo. Save the hollywood garb for retirement or that 2 month window in Feb and March.
JT can decide for himself whether he wants to maximize his personal performance(which would probably put him at the top in the league individually) or if he wants to bring his B stuff(which would still make him better than most players, but maybe make his team 3pts short when it counts). Of course in the phins case we arent in a position to be 3pts short of hosting the conference title game. But, JT is a grown man. He can do what he chooses. He certainly has nothing to prove to anyone.
