    Hines Ward discovers a new fan base dancing with stars Monday, May 23, 2011 By Maria Sciullo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette LOS ANGELES -- Hines Ward's foxtrot proficiency might not sound as crucial as being able to outleap a Baltimore Ravens defensive back, but "at this time in his career, it's all- important," said Andrew Ree, his manager. Mr. Ward, 35, and professional partner Kym Johnson, 34, will compete tonight in the finale of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

It is a comprehensive evaluation of the overall endorsement potential of an individual sports personality, combining the measure of awareness and appeal - - how strongly one likes or dislikes the subject -- as well as specific personal attributes and other factors such as whether he or she is "approachable," "funny" or has "good energy." These polls are conducted in 30 markets, including Pittsburgh.
