Not exactly a demon on the dance floor, is he?

Only a day after judges stared agape at his two-step performance, Chuck Liddell and partner Anna Trebunskaya were excused from any further appearances on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday. And not a moment too soon, as constantly spell-checking documents containing the word "Trebunskaya" might actually void my software warranty.

Liddell is clearly not meant for ballroom competition, which was sort of the point, but it doesn't really matter. That a UFC fighter could get airtime on a massively popular television monolith like "Dancing" is another indication that this sport is getting what it's wanted all along: to be treated like any other. Meanwhile, maybe not having to DVR this any more means I can try to taper off the T-gel.
