Donald Driver might be known for his end zone dances after scoring a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers, but now it's his chance to show if he can pull the same moves on the dance floor.
Driver— the Packers all-time leading receiver— was one of 12 "celebrities" picked to appear on season 14 of "Dancing with the Stars."
Driver was matched up with New Zealand beauty Peta Murgatroyd to compete against the likes of 67-year-old Gladys Knight (minus the Pips), Little House's Melissa Gilbert, Urkel (Jaleel White) and a bunch of C-list stars.
Host Robin Roberts introduced the smiling Driver to the Los Angeles crowd by saying, "You...Super Bowl champion you."
Driver's pairing with the Murgatroyd (her second season on DWTS) makes them a front-runner. NFL stars have done pretty good on the show in the past and Martina Navratilova is the only other athlete competing this season.
A lot of people were hoping Victor Cruz might appear on the ABC show, but the New York Giants salsa dancing receiver made it clear— even with the urging of his mom—that he wouldn't appear on the show for at least for a couple of seasons.
No word on if Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will let Driver use his "Discount Double Check" moves.

Hakeem Nicks' Helmet Catch Has A David Tyree Super Bowl Look
Hakeem Nicks incredible catch off the front of his helmet gave the New York Giants a 20-10 halftime lead over the Green Bay Packers and brought back memories of the Eli Manning to David Tyree catch that led to a Giants Super Bowl championship four years ago.
While not as dramatic as Tyree's legendary catch against the New England Patriots, Hicks' 37-yard touchdown catch was sensational because it came as time expired in the half and it looked like the Giants blundered management of the clock and a chance to put at least three more points on the scoreboard.
Instead, Manning's desperate heave-ho gave them seven more points leading the way to a resounding 37-20 win over the Packers in this NFC Divisional playoff game.
Ahmad Bradshaw got the the Giants into field goal range with a 23-yard run out-of-bounds at the 37-yard line to stop the clock with :06 left in the second quarter. With no timeouts left, Manning went back to pass but was chased out of the pocket as the seconds ticked by.
Then with one second left— and no time left for a field goal attempt— Manning heaved the Hail Mary pass to the back of the Packers end zone.
Hicks leaped between two Packers defenders, pressed the ball to his face mask and tumbled to the ground for the score. Time remaining on the clock— :00.
Comparisons to the Giants 2007-08 playoff run to this season have been the topic of conversation for weeks and Hicks' grab could be taken as an omen of things to come.
Like in 2008, the Giants had to roll through frozen Lambeau Field.
The first half of this playoff battle was a back and forth affair— not unlike their Dec. 4 meeting at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants were the beneficiaries of a couple of Green Bay fumbles and had the misfortune of having one taken away on a bad call by the officials.
As the first quarter was winding down, Giants defensive back Kenny Phillips recovered what looked like a fumble after a Greg Jennings catch but it was ruled that the receiver was down. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin challenged the ruling on the field but the call wasn't overturned. Every camera angle showed that Jennings' knee never hit the ground before the ball came loose.
The Packers continued their drive and tied the game at 10-10 on a Aaron Rodgers TD pass.
The Giants failed to score on a first-and-goal from the five yard line and kicked a field goal to make it 13-10.
The Packers hit the field to start the second half with gusto while the Giants looked flat.
A field goal at 3:50 cut New York's lead to seven, 20-13.
The Packers blew a big chance in the fourth quarter when Rodgers under-threw to a wide open Michael Finley on third down at the Giants 40-yard line, then decided to go for it on the fourth.
Rodgers was sacked and the Giants took over.
The Giants didn't get a first down in the second half until almost four minutes elapsed in the fourth quarter when Mario Manningham caught a pass and the team started to move the ball once again.
The drive stalled and Lawrence Tynes narrowly put the ball inside the uprights on a 35-yard field goal to increase the lead to 23-13 with 7:48 left.
A third Packers fumble by Ryan Grant was picked up and returned by Chase Blackburn to the Green Bay 4-yard line. On the next play Manning threw his third TD pass of the day— hitting Manningham crossing the back of the end zone.
Giants lead 30-13 with 6:48 to go in the game.
Rodgers couldn't complete a crucial third down play but a phantom "blow to the head" personal foul was called on the Giants Matthias Kiwanuka for knocking the Packers QB down. The call gave Green Bay new life but the clock was slowing ticking down.
The second bogus call of the day against the Giants would lead to another Green bay touchdown.
Rodgers hit Donald Driver with a 16-yard TD pass with 4:46 on the clock to narrow the Packers deficit to ten, 30-20.
A second failed Packers onside kick was pounced on by Victor Cruz and left the Giants at mid-field.
Manning hit Cruz on a critical third-and-long to essentially lay the Packers to rest followed by a big run by Bradshaw to the Green Bay 10-yard line which closed the lid on the Packers coffin.
Brandon Jacobs rumbled into the end zone to make it 37-20 and put the final nail in the Packers season.
Next week, the Giants go to San Francisco to face the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. The last time the two teams played each other in the playoffs was 2003. The Giants lost, 39-38, on a botched Giants play that will forever be remembered as "The Snap."
If the Giants keep rolling along like they have, maybe the Hicks catch is a sign of things to come.
Right now, Giants fans would rather be reminded of "The Catch."

Jason Pierre-Paul: Giants will Beat Packers "Because We're The Best"
The New York Giants defensive behemoth Jason Pierre-Paul walked the walk yesterday during the team's 24-2 demolition of the Atlanta Falcons in their NFC wild card playoff game. After the game he started talking the talk about facing the Packers.
"We're going to win," boasted the second-year defensive end. "One hundred percent, we're going to win...because we're the best."
Fresh from a defensive performance that included eight tackles (two for losses) and a key stop on a fourth-and-one that stopped a Falcon's drive at the Giants 21-yard line, JPP said he can't wait for next Sunday's rematch against the Green Bay Packers.
The Giants (10-7) are nine-point underdogs next week against the Packers (15-1) and JPP is craving the opportunity to avenge the Dec. 4 meeting when the Giants lost, 38-35, on a last second field goal.
The loss left a bitter taste in JPP's mouth, but did nothing to hush it up.
"We know it's one and done [and] we aren't going to let that happen," said the defensive end. "We're going to walk away with a win."
The was alot of confidence to go around after yesterday's well-balanced victory at MetLife Stadium. The Giants defense was especially impressive.
"It was our best defensive effort of the year," said Giants DE Justin Tuck.
The G-Men gave up only 247 total yards to a potent Falcons team and held running back Michael Turner to 41 yards.
Two huge stops on fourth-down quarterback sneaks deep on their own side halted two potential Falcons scoring drives.
The only points the Falcons scored came off a second quarter safety when Eli Manning was flagged for intentional grounding.
While JPP was walking the walk most of the game, there a time when the Giants sack demon was laid out on the turf after he collided with teammates Aaron Ross and Tuck.
JPP threw a scare into his team until he got back up and walked it off.
"He got up," Osi Umenyiora said, "like he was Optimus Prime or something."
Pierre-Paul left the game but returned shortly after "[getting] the wind knocked out of me."
Sounds like there was still enough wind left to puff out his chest and predict a victory over the reigning Super Bowl champs.

Counterfeit Packers Playoff Tickets Flooding Market
The NFL playoffs begin this weekend and authorities have issued a warning for Green Bay Packers fans about counterfeit tickets for the team's two possible home games this month.
The Packers are favorites to win the Super Bowl and have a bye week before their first playoff game on Jan. 15 at Lambeau Field, but team officials are telling fans to be wary of where they buy the prized tickets from.
Authorities claim that the fake ducats are flooding the market because today's technology makes it easy to duplicate the real thing and they can't keep up with many of the counterfeiters' technical skills.
A few signs to look out for to determine the real from the fake might save a person an embarrassing moment at the gate and a few hundred dollars as well.
First, the real tickets are usually larger than the the phonies.
Second, the counterfeits are shinier, have a different feel and are floppier.
"The best advice we can give you is to do your research and know your source," said the Green Bay Packers in conjunction with the local police.
Packers fans will begin tail-gating when their team plays either the Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, or New York Giants in the NFC Divisional Playoff on Jan. 15.
If they win that game, the Packers will host the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 22.

Minnesota Player Delivers Kick To Green Bay Package
Things got a little testy during the second quarter of Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. Following a Green Bay field goal kick, Vikings defensive end Brian Robison landed a kick of his own-- right into Packers guard T.J. Lang's stones.
The low blow came after Lang stood over Robison, who got knocked down during the field goal kick. Robison aimed the intentional kick right between Lang's spread legs and caused the Packers player to hunch over in pain.
Up until the dirty play, the two players had been going at each other pretty hard in the battle between the NFC North rivals.
If a kick to the groin is frowned upon in a street fight, then there's no place for it on the football field.

'No Fun League' Was Pretty Funny During Week Six
The NFL entertains millions of fans every season but is sometimes about as humorous as "The View." The "No Fun League" commissioner Roger Goodell will never be confused with Louis C.K. but this week's NFL story lines seemed like they written for a few episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
It looks like Goodell will have his hands full following the escapades of Week Six.
The week began with Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall saying he was going to play like a "maniac" against the New York Jets on Monday night. The All-Pro player tried to rally his lowly team by going as far as to announce that he was going to get thrown out of the game by the second quarter and might even punch out Jets defensemen Antonio Cromartie or Bart Scott. Goodell was surely listening.
The fun continued in the second quarter of the St. Louis Rams-Green Bay Packers game when A.J. Hawk sacked Rams QB Sam Bradford and rubbed it in by flipping the bird towards his own bench and the Packers fans in Lambeau Field.
Hawk, who might have been angry at wearing the ugly Packers throw-back uniforms or celebrating the fact that it was his first solo-sack in nearly two years, later apologized. He claimed it was a "running joke" and didn't intend for "anyone to see it." Okay. You can't make these things up folks.
The "Lambeau Flip" was ignored by the officiating crew but lambasted by the game announcers on TV and it's a good bet the Commish will be pointing his own accusing finger at the linebacker.
The bizarre episodes continued with a near cage-match between head coaches Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz after an exciting game between the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions. The two surprising teams exchanged six lead changes throughout the game and, during the mandatory mid-field after game handshake, Harbaugh's overenthusiastic grip and greet with a hard pat on the back riled losing coach Schwartz.
The Lions coach didn't take kindly to his exuberant counterpart and he chased Harbaugh down and started yelling at him. To paraphrase Mel Brooks: May the Schwartz be on you.
The two coaches had to be separated by staff members and the tussle got the surrounding players pumped up and a few more scuffles broke out at mid-field.
Harbaugh later accepted the blame and said, "I was really revved up. That wasn't me, I just shook his hand too hard."
It was even kind of comical-- in a Farrelly Brothers, ball-to-the-groin way-- seeing Saints head coach Sean Payton coaching from the bench in a leg brace after getting run over by his own player and breaking his knee cap. Sometimes humor hurts.
The only thing missing this week was a rant by the Sam Kinison of the NFL-- Rex Ryan. I guess three straight losses don't lead to a very funny punchline, but there's still one day to gather some material.
It looked like there was little too much frat-boy for the NFL's blood this week. Forget a finger, it's looks like Goodell will lay down his fist.

Rex Ryan To Dallas Fans: Don't Wear Cowboys Stuff In Our Stadium
It looks like New York Jets coach Rex Ryan has put his foot in his mouth once again. After being asked if he expects to see Dallas Cowboys fans in the stands during Sunday's game, Ryan gave a subtle warning to folks planning to wear ten-gallon hats.
"I don't know why they'd be here," said Ryan. "They're coming into our stadium. It's probably not recommended that you wear Cowboys stuff, I would think."
It wasn't the first time Ryan has called out visiting team fans but, this time, his joking couldn't have been more ill-timed-- considering the recent fan violence in Los Angeles and San Francisco this summer.
Last week, a soccer fan was beaten outside Wembley Stadium and died.
Ryan made the off-the-cuff comment while talking to reporters on Wednesday. While it wasn't intended to incite trouble but, as usual, the outspoken head coach's words were controversial and couldn't have been more poorly timed.
The Jets meet the Cowboys on Sunday night for a prime-time game that will include a remembrance ceremony to the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The opening game for both teams starts at 8:20 p.m., so there will probably be plenty of boisterous Jets fans on hand.
Last October, Ryan told Green Bay Packers fans to watch their backs if they ventured out into the streets of New York wearing Cheesehead hats and green and yellow jerseys before a game in the Meadowlands
"I wouldn't want to wear Green Bay stuff coming to our stadium," Ryan warned.
Many cheese-wedge hats and Aaron Rodgers jerseys were spotted at the game, and there were no reported incidents.
Ryan has been quiet all week. It's a somber week in New York leading up to September 11 and Ryan said it was an honor to be chosen as New York's home team on the 10 year anniversary of the attack.
"This week, I can't stand Dallas," said the head coach. "But I'm a big fan of their next 15 games in the regular season, but I don't like them right now."
A silent Rex Ryan-- you knew it was too good to last. Cowboys fans, remember to leave your chaps in Texas.

Katy Perry Gives Cheesehead Hat a New Look at the VMA's
It would have to be an extremely windy day in New York City before I would even give a damn about singer Katy Perry or the MTV Video Music Awards in general, but being trapped inside my apartment because of the subsiding winds of Hurricane Irene and the Yankees blowing out the Orioles, I did, by chance, come across the show.
Perry accepted an award wearing what looked like a Cubism version of the Green Bay Packers iconic Cheesehead head wear. The awkward-fitting hat (?) looked as if Picasso or maybe Georges Braque (no, he wasn't a kicker from the old AFL) had designed it himself.
I don't know if it will catch on in Wisconsin. It looks less like the familiar cheese wedge you would use to lure a mouse into a trap than a cube of cheddar lanced by a toothpick that you would find at a snooty art gallery opening.
I'm not sure it was an awkward attempt at being a Cheesehead, but if it was, Perry should have had a brat and a beer in each of her hands.
The MTV VMA's, which pretty much spotlights everything wrong with our culture, featured a Bowser-looking Lady Gaga and Lil' Wayne smashing a guitar he barely plays.
Perry, the former-gospel singer, wore the yellow block on her head while she accepted her "Video of the Year" award for "Firework.". She thanked her husband (latest Vegas odds on divorce, 7:2, really) Russell Brand, and Perry didn't kiss a girl. That display of rebellion has gotten a little tired.
The highlights of the evening included lots of bleeped out speeches and Britney Spears getting a "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the ripe old age of 29.
The big news was Kanye West letting everyone down by not interrupting anyone's Moon Man moment to make a drunken statement on his behalf.
Just around the bend, hipster cheesehead hats at an Old Navy near you soon.

Pages From Packers' Playbook Found Scattered In Green Bay Neighborhood
Pages from the World Champion Green Bay Packers' playbook were found scattered along an east side Green Bay street on Monday morning. The same highly-confidential plays which steered Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to a Super Bowl XLV victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last season.
The top-secret pages are meant for players' and coaches' eyes only.
Sanitation workers gathered up the wind-swept pages along Monroe Street after they apparently fell from a truck. The playbooks were tossed into recycling bins by team employees after practice.
The Packers beat the Arizona Cardinals in an exhibition game at Lambeau Field Friday night.
Waste Management, the company which handles the recycling, says over two cubic-yards fell from the back of one of its trucks. They said nothing was damaged and nobody was hurt.
Team employees usually shred sensitive material, like pages from the playbook, before disposing of them.
The Packers asked that anyone who finds the pages please recycle the paper. Cheeseheads do that kind of thing.
No, that wasn't Brian Urlacher dressed in a garbage-man's jumpsuit grabbing some of the loose papers and it's not known if any of pages were from Rodgers' black book.
