A passion for ballroom dancing? What is this world coming to when a head coach of a professional football team talks about his passion for ballroom dancing?
MANGINI IS HAPPY THAT TAYLOR ISN’T WITH THE FINS

During a Thursday press conference, Jets coach Eric Mangini was asked about whether he’d tolerate a player missing the offseason program to participate in a dancing competition.
Said Mangini: “Having such a passion for ballroom dancing, like I do, I’ve watched some of [Dancing with the Stars] and [Jason Taylor] is pretty good. He’s impressive. I didn’t vote, but I thought he did a great job and the longer he wants to stay out of Miami’s camp, I think he should.”
On a completely unrelated note, Mangini also talked about the contract situation involving disgruntled tight end Chris Baker. Like many head coaches, Mangini found a way to move his mouth, allow words to come out, and not really say anything. He said that G.M. Mike Tannenbaum is handling issues relating to Baker’s contract.
Baker claims that the team promised during the 2007 season to adjust his deal. Published reports citing unnamed sources indicate that the Jets believe they made no such commitments.
