Hines Ward Praises Kirstie Alley After Winning 'DWTS'

Last night, Superbowl MVP Hines Ward was crowned king of the ballroom on Dancing With The Stars (Read our full recap here). After being awarded the coveted Mirrorball Trophy, he had nothing but good words for the second place winner, Kirstie Alley.

Hines called Kirstie a worthy runner-up and said that she could’ve easily won the dancing competition if it weren’t for all of his football fans voting for him.

He said, “Kirstie could have taken it. She’s been incredible all season and I guess all of the fans got us through, especially Pittsburgh and Steeler Nation. I think they really voted hard for us last night.”

He also lavished praise on his professional dance partner, Kym Johnson. He added, “I owe it all to Kym. She’s an amazing teacher, and I want to thank the judges for giving us the constructive criticism to help me get better each week. Also, I want to thank all the fans.”

And not a mention was given to Chelsea Kane. We’re guessing that he’s still trying to figure out who she is. Kidding, of course.
