Who Is The Homeliest NFL Cheerleader Of Them All?
So a site called The Daily Redundancy claims to have crunched the data from several "top 10 hottest NFL cheerleader " polls and figured out — through the process of elimination — who the 10 homeliest cheerleaders are. They have listed them here, with photos. For the record, we find none of them home...

The Mascots Are Attacking The Cheerleaders
We're not sure what possessed Freddie Falcon to smash a birthday cake into the face of an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader … but we don't get the impression she was particularly happy about it....

Cuz That Body's Too Bootylicious For Ya, Eh, Rog?

For Freedom! To The Death! For Bongs!
Thank you, Awful Announcing, thank you tremendously for this random piece of brilliance: It's 300-esque Noodle Fighting on the campus of UC Davis. Somedays we don't miss the aimless shambling of college ... and somedays, like today, we do, oh, how we do....

Please Keep Six Feet Between You And The Cavs Dancers
Currently, in the Ohio (of course) legislature, there's a bill attempting to define what constitutes a strip club and how they should be governed (for example, they're considering not allowing dancers to perform after midnight and instituting a six-foot buffer between dancer and patron). But yesterd...

I can only hope that she steered clear of ...

Perhaps She Has Chosen The Wrong Collegiate Extracurricular Activity
The M Zone takes a moment away from screaming at the heavens and cursing Allah to bring us this video, from the USC-UCLA game Saturday — way to step up, Trojans, by the way — and the famous Unable To Figure Out When Is, In Fact, The Correct Time To Cheer cheerleader.
