We’d like to have a word with you regarding your tasteless and unfunny piece on CBS Houston yesterday.

Have you ever seen a cheerleader do a front-flip into a half-court shot? Here’s a cheerleader doing a front-flip into a half-court shot. We’re confident you’ll enjoy. [The Dagger]

Courtney Lenz is a five-year veteran of the Baltimore Ravens cheerleading squad, and she weighs 124 pounds. This wouldn’t be of particular importance if the Baltimore Ravens hadn’t benched her for the Super Bowl for being overweight. Lenz went on Access Hollywood last night to discuss the recent development, and she thinks the Ravens screwed her out of a Super Bowl appearance.

Western Illinois’ mascot Rocky isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. One of the school’s cheerleaders was backflipping across the basketball court when Rocky ambled across the court. Now those mascot heads are big and bulky and shift around a lot, so maybe he just couldn’t see. But whatever the reason, Rocky stumbled right into the backflipping cheerleader and the two collided.

Several Colts players have elected to have their heads shaved in solidarity with their owner Chuck Pagano, who is currently recovering from leukemia. Apparently, a couple of cheerleaders are joining the cause.

Whaddya suppose this young man’s thankful for today? [Larry Brown Sports]

There’s just not a whole lot to add here except that 35 back handsprings in a row is a whole lot of back handsprings. 35 more than I can do… but zero more than high shool cheerleader Miranda Ferguson can do.

The ICC World Twenty20 (a cricket tournament hosted in Sri Lanka this year) ended yesterday when West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 36 runs, but that came on the heels of some relatively offensive controversy. Not around the matches, or players, or fans, but the cheerleaders. They weren’t up to par, apparently.

You’ll have to forgive Michael Vick for being excited. His Eagles took a big step toward saving their season yesterday, defeating the Redskins on the road 20-13, and Vick himself contributed 237 yards passing and 54 on the ground to the effort. Unfortunately, after his biggest run of the day, he got a little too excited.
