  • Donald Driver compared winning ‘Dancing With The Stars’ to winning Super Bowl

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver was named the winner of the umpteenth season of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" on Tuesday night. He becomes the third football player to win the Mirror Ball Trophy, following in the footsteps of Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward.

    Following the victory, Driver was asked whether his victory compared to winning the Super Bowl. "I think it does," he said. "It's truly something special. I reached the greatest milestone in my career, and that was winning the Super Bowl. I just made my partner reach her greatest milestone, and now she's 'Dancing With the Stars' champion."

    Judging by his reaction to winning -- pushing away his partner, running around like a college basketball player after a buzzer-beater and flopping on the dance floor like a fish -- I'd say he wasn't being hyperbolic.

    Driver has been married to his wife for 12 years and they have three adorable children. You know how you stay happily married for that long? By being smart and not hugging the hot, blonde Australian dancer that you've been writhing around with for 10 weeks.

    Here's Driver's final performance on the show, followed by some insta-reactions to the sequined spectacle.

    • "Do you remember Cheryl and Drew's freestyle from season 2?" Driver asks. Yes; Yes I do.

    • Jorts!

    • If Roger Goodell sees how Driver bloodied Peta Murgatroyd, he'll levy a fine of $50,000.

    • Cowboy Troy!

    • "I mean, you know where you got that shirt and it damn sure wasn't the men's department."

    • Why is the female judge so out of breath?

    • "Too hot to trot!" the old man in the middle said. "In football, catches win matches. And chances with dances." I sort of want to watch this show next season.

    • I like Donald Driver blowing a man kiss to the last judge. He should incorporate that when referees rule favorably on replays of his catches.

  • Donald Driver wins ‘Dancing With the Stars’

    The hallowed walls of Lambeau Field tell the tale of the most storied team in NFL history. Thirteen world championship trophies, 21 Hall of Famers and the most revered coach in all of sports have been witness as a nondescript Wisconsin town turned into a football powerhouse, and did it all while the sport transformed into a national religion. Bart Starr, Don Hutson, Ray Nitschke, Reggie White, and soon, Brett Favre, will have passed through Lambeau's halls and into a lasting spot in Canton. But all the NFC titles and Super Bowls and cheering fans and history and magic and frozen tundra can only pale in comparison to Tuesday's monumental news: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver was named the winner of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars." Ice bowl? What Ice bowl?

    Shutdown Corner will provide an unnecessary, yet thorough, recap of Driver's victory on Wednesday morning.
