The best thing about America
 

Cheerleaders!!! :) they are brilliant!!

:tro: glad you liked the game

it was cool.I now have another aim in life:

1. to get a photo with Bob Baffert
2. to get a photo with a movie star
3. to get a photo with someone on The Hills
and now
4. to get a photo with an NFL cheerleader

I actually, as God as my witness, worked side by side with a woman who was an Indianapolis Colts Cheerleader. She was / is (this was 8 and 9 years ago) as cool as they come. Made very little money at the time. Then, when the seasons were over and her run was done, she moved on.

I saw her a couple years removed and she was very happy and making good cash at the time working on the road as a vendor rep.

Gosh, she was smokin hot. She got me tickets a couple times and waved hello during a game or too, good times.

I don't know if they have changed their monetary ways, but she was underpaid for the time and effort she put forth. Seriously.

wow brock, wow.

one of them should happen next week!

One of the Buccaneers cheerleaders teaches at my daughter's school....

NOW you divulge this tidbit of info?!?!:mad:

She just started this year. Student teacher last year.

You finally going to go to a parent teacher conference?

Hey no kidding when I worked with this chick who was at the time a Colts Cheerleader she flat told me she made $50 bucks for a game, thats it.

Now, we were drinking something other then pepsi at the time, but I know she told others the same thing at the place I worked at the time.

I should run into that calender she gave me autographed by the end of the week as I go thru my stuff packing for my move to Florida.:{>:

i dated an l.a. skyhawks cheerleader (professional soccer team before anyone west of europe actually cared about "futbol") in 1976.

technically she was actually just a birmingham high school (where the game was played) cheerleader and she got drafted into this. and technically, i'm just bragging.

and she probably got fat over the last 33 years.

but i dated a cheerleader. at what i say was a "professional" game.

I hope she is better quality than the Bucs! :D

I have been told the same thing regarding cheerleader pay. They can make some more money for appearance fees. And of course, there's always the money from the calendars... and the later photos in Playboy....

I don't get why people are making a big deal out of this. Working in a sub shop is a hell of a lot more work than cheerleading and it takes you about 7 hours to make $50 there. Why is there a backlash against the NFL for wages paid to cheerleaders but not a backlash against Subway? As long as they are paying minimum wage and there are people willing to cheerlead for $50 a game then who really cares?

I'm glad someone said this.

I don't really care either but a lot of practice goes into these cheer leading squads. When you total in the hours spent vs. compensation the Cheerleaders are paid worse than the Subway workers. That being said I agree with the Steelers and a few other traditional teams that don't have cheerleaders. Let the product stand on its own, if the team is good enough people will attend. Pro Hockey and basketball have become less enjoyable to me because in between whistles, teams feel a need to provide constant entertainment. While I'm ranting........you HAVE TO SHORTEN COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALFTIMES, it's getting ridiculous.

You got a photo with a NFL player......Tiki Barber. Was that number 5 on the list?

MaTH would be jealous.

He has been talking about the Baffert picture since the Derby.....

what kind of tryouts do you need for Subway. Put on those plastic gloves w/o ripping them? 6 inch vs. 12 inch? Ok you made your point. Cheerleaders aren't cut out for it nails and all. :D

I can say for fact that she dedicated a lot of time to the games and the deal of being a Colts Cheerleader.

In fact I would say she put in more then 40 hours a week for no pay. She was an intern at the comapny I worked for in Indy at the time and was usually on the job at least 3 days a week 8 hours a shot. She also was a full time college student. She also was an Indianalpois Colts Cheerleader. Again, this was 2001 / 2002 era.

Many, many a day she would tell me she had practice and then class or vice versa.

i may have to divert to Tampa next week :)

The only pic I could find other than my daughter's class photo.

All my grade school teachers looked just like that!

Just add 50 years or so and hairdo's leftover from the 50s and 60s.

Is she Santa Claus Missus ?

When they have a game near Christmas, that is the uniform they break out.

Cool i,m putting out a sleeping bag this xmas instead of my usuall pillow case :D
