Natalie Coughlin got the heave-ho on Dancing With the Stars earlier this week and since she’ll never say it I’ll say it. It was her partner’s fault. Had to be.

I bumped into Natalie at the ESPN the Magazine “Body Issue” party the day before DWTS and she said she wouldn’t wanna be judged for a living.

The judges should be ashamed of themselves.. Denying an 11-time Olympic medalist the chance to add to her award collection. Coughlin can shake it off by picking up some more hardware at the 2012 Olympic games in London.
