H ere's one example of why Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor literally doesn't have time for the fascinating tension gurgling atop the Dolphins organization between Miami's star boss and Miami's star employee: The other day, Taylor rushed late to a lunch with Denzel Washington. Taylor's Dancing With the Stars partner kept texting him during that two-hour meal to remind Taylor he was late for rehearsal. So Taylor told Washington that, sorry, he couldn't go over to a nearby hotel to meet a waiting friend of Washington's who also wanted an audience with Taylor. That friend was Al Pacino. link http://www.miamiherald.com/616/story/521267.html
• What a ridiculous story the Jason Taylor saga has become in Miami. Now the Dolphins' "Dancing with the Stars'' defensive end is ticked because the team's football czar, Bill Parcells, reportedly ignored him to his face when Taylor made a recent visit to the team complex. I'm no big fan of Parcells' penchant for Jedi mind tricks, but what kind of greeting did Taylor really expect from a guy who has always been all about football? When Taylor wants to act like an active and committed player who still has football as his top priority, Parcells will likely accord him the status he has earned within the Miami organization. But if Taylor deems it more important to make like the retired Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice and dance his offseason away, he shouldn't expect Parcells to applaud the whole silly show. link to rest of story http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/don_banks/05/02/movers/index.html
ahh... I hate the distraction this is becoming already. I wish JT would get booted from the show so he could get down to florida and start working out with the team. This nonsense needs to stop although im sure most of it is media generated and blown out of proportion as well.
Dear Jason, It's time to play ball...Hollywood will be there in the next 2-3 yrs. You're attention needs to be in Davie right now... Give it up, c'mon back home and get to work. You need the Fins right now and they need you... When you are back here and working with the rest of your teammates, everything will be fine and you and Tuna will once again get along...but, the ball is in your court...come back where you should be...
I'm sure he'll do just fine Great sports star = great actor "He's A Rappin' Genie With An Attitude... And He's Ready For Slam-Dunk Fun!"
JT seems to have completely lost interest in football. I really hope I'm worrying about nothing, but I could see him being a cancer in the locker room if he doesn't get his head out of acting and back in the game soon. He's got one foot in and one foot out. Choose one or the other but don't half-*** both.
This article is complete and utter hogwash if you ask me. It is full of alleged claims and Le Batard projecting Parcells feelings. Nowhere in the article are there facts or statements from Parcells himself, because Parcells has been trying to avoid the Media. Secondly Le Batard is basing everything off Parcells history, not the present. Here is what matters. Both quotes show that Taylor is in great shape, so when he comes in he'll be ready to go. Plus the dancing will make him more agile will only help him. In fact he'll probably be in better shape than the Pro's who start the beginning of camp overweight. Lastly Taylor signed the contract before Parcells opinion even mattered. Therefore Parcells can take his opinion and shove it because it's not like Taylor disregarded Parcells wishes.
Last I checked it was the first week of May and football doesn't officially start until the first week of September. If he was getting a DUI driving a boat drunk I would be worried, but he is keeping in shape and it's the OFF-SEASON. You haters need to get over it.
Acting?...WHAT ACTING? What I'd like to know is what movies has he done and whats he slated to star in? I mean seriously guys, where does everyone come from saying he wants to go Hollywood when all he's done is a dance show and a part in some goofy movie I can't even remember the name of now.
