Chad Ochocinco is getting ready to dance…but it won’t be in an endzone near you.

The charismatic Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver is one of the contestants on Season 10 of Dancing With The Stars.  The show kicks off on March 22, and will include Pamela Anderson, Buzz Aldrin, Erin Andrews, Shannen Doherty, and “The Bachelor” Jake Pavelka among others.

While we know that Ocho will brings his own personality and flair onto the floor, and we’d like to see some of that convert into success in the competition.  Ochocinco certainly has shown some of the best moves of anyone on the gridiron, so I would at least expect him to do better than someone who never demonstrated any creativity in that department.  Someone like, say, Emmitt Smith?  Oh, that’s right he won.  Jerry Rice?  He was a runner-up.  Shoot, even Jason Taylor and Warren Sapp were runner-ups.

All I can say is that if he can’t do as good as any of these other fellow NFL players, that DMNDS!!
