It's 3:20 P.m. in Tulsa Oklahoma as I start this blog. I went to work this morning at 7:00 a.m. at the local flea market and got home about half an hour ago, took a cold shower, sprayed myself with sunburn antiseptic and here I am.

We have semi- important business today. After watching Kristi Yamaguchi thrash the competition on Dancing with the stars and NFL's Jason Taylor finish second it has become clear to me that athletes have a strong advantage over  faded stars, singers, starlets, Broadway I never heard of her, and the sort. With this in mind I went to various athletes and asked if they would appear on Dancing with the Stars and here is their reasons why they couldn't or wouldn't.

Kobe Bryant - says at the moment he's already involved in Dancing with the Stars.

Lebron James - says nobody is his equal so he won't work with a partner.

OJ Mayo - wanted to know how much money under the table he would get.

Manu Ginobli- says the only dance he's ever learned was the Flop but would consider it if Vlade Divac could be his dancing partner.

Pat Riley - said yes but only if  he could fire his dancing partner and take over and quit before the end of the contest.

Ray Allen - said sure but only if he can show up just once in a while. .

Chris Paul - said sure but he'd prefer to just hang around and help others out.

As you can tell this was not going quite as well as I had hoped. I did the only thing left to do. I took my case to the people. I asked family, friends, customers, the man in the street who they would like to see on the athletes version of dancing with the stars. In order are the top 10 people and why.

1.) Sean Kemp - To hear him tell the judges the two ounces of cocaine, the 18 pounds of weed, and the handgun that falls out of his pockets  while dancing,  is not his, that a friend put it there.

2.)  Charles Barkley - Because you could get rich betting with him that he wouldn't win.

3.) Barry Bonds- Because his big head would break the mirror ball hanging 12 feet over the dance floor.

4.) Roger Clemens - Because he'd juice his partner and get her in Sports Illustrated.

5.) Tonya Harding - So she wouldn't make another adult video. Or Box.

6.) Mike Tyson -  To watch him tell the Judges he was going to eat their children.

7.) Willie Randolph - To hear him go into a tirade about how the judges are racist.

8.) John Rocker - Just so we can throw batteries once in our lifetime too.

9.) Terrel Owens - To see him do situps on the dance floor when he gets a bad score.

10.) Alex Rodriquez - To see what his wife's T-Top says when he chokes in the finals.

Some people are smart alecs.
