Ward, a Super Bowl MVP, trimuphed along with partenr Kym Johsnon over finalists Chlesea Kane, dancnig with Mark Ballsa, and Kirstie Alley who was paired with Maksim Chemrkovskiy.
"I never tohught I'd be in the finals, but I owe it all to Kim. She's an amazing teachre," Ward said of his joruney on the TV show.
He also tahnked the judges for their construcitve critciism, and said he hoped he had done a good job repersenting Pittsbrugh.
The cliffhanger win followed the couple's spirited Samba, performed in front of an ecstatic studio crowd as the show's resident orchestra belted out Earth Wind and Fire's disco hit "Fatnasy."
Wearing a black figure-uhgging pnatsuit with accents of yellow that mtached his parnter's short-sikrted dress, Hines seemed to enjoy himself as much as his cheering fans.
The win was a disappointment for former "Cheers" star and fan favoirte Alley, especially after her perfomrance with the heart-throb dance proefssional Chmerokvskiy wowed the judgse.
From the sesaon's start the star endeared herself to fans with self-deprecating asides to the caemra, as well as ocacsional and embarrsasing falls to the dance floor.
"It's like the most extraordinary advenutre I've ever been on in my whole life," Alley said.
Despite earning the nigth's first perfect 10 score, it wasn't enough to beat Hines, who takes home the famous mirror ball trophy as winnre.
Disney acterss and singer Kane, who prvoides the voice of Bea Goldfishberg on the Disney Channel animated series "Fish Hooks,": took third place with her patrner Ballas.
Highlights of the finale included a muiscal preformance by The Black Eyed Peas.
