Cheerleaders Will Jack You Up

It's been over a week since Victoria Lindsay was beaten by her fellow cheerleaders for "talking trash" on MySpace, and the she still has no hearing or vision in her left ear and eye while she recovers from her concussion.

And as teenagers are wont to do, the girls who beat her still have no real grasp of what they've done.

Following their arrests the girls joked in a holding cell. One asked if she would be able to make it to cheerleading practice the next day, while several others joked that they wouldn't be making it back to the beach anytime soon, he said.

"They seemed to have absolutely no remorse at all," [Sheriff Grady]Judd said. "They were just going to beat her. And beat her they did."

Thankfully, cheerleaders aren't just ridiculously violent, they're also incredibly stupid so they thought it would be a good idea to videotape the beating so they could get famous on YouTube. While they're laughing now, we'll see how funny they find it when the sheriff's office recommends that the State's Attorney charge the girls with felony kidnapping, felony battery, and false imprisonment.

Have fun in jail, princess. Maybe your 250-pound girlfriend can videotape the fun she has with you there, and then put that on YouTube as well!

The World's Cutest Special Ed Class

The Boston Celtics steadfastly refused to have team cheerleaders until this year when they introduced us to the Celtics Dancers.

We know you're new to this, girls, so here's a little advice:

Leading the fans in a game of "Little Green Leprechaun!" during halftime was probably not your wisest choice.

Chris Myers Has Advice for Ian Johnson

Just because Chris Myers ruined the surprise for him on Monday night, that doesn't mean he doesn't have any thoughts on Ian Johnson's proposal to his girlfriend after scoring the game winning 2-point conversion for Boise State.

In an article in the USA Today, Myers tries to explain what happened:

Myers thought he heard Johnson, who'd made the winning score, tell him something about proposing. "I thought, 'I hope not to me,' and told him he could do it after the (on-air) interview," Myers said Tuesday. "Or, I thought maybe he'd propose that college football get a playoff system."

No, Johnson wanted to propose marriage to Chrissy Popadics, a Boise cheerleader. "She ran over," Myers says. "I didn't know what was going on. It's like it was one of those bad scripted shows on Fox." But, as Johnson got down on one knee, it wasn't. Says Myers: "She was shocked. They're telling me in my earpiece to wrap, but I'm not leaving this. So they stayed on the shot when their lips locked."

Our question is this. Instead of announcing that you're gonna let him go cuz he's going to propose to his girlfriend, just ask him something like "Well, what are you going to do next?" or "How do you plan to celebrate this win?"

It's pretty easy.

We can probably add this to the growing list of reasons why sideline reporters not named Erin Andrews should not exist. Get rid of them. They're pointless and generally do nothing but disrupt the flow of a broadcast. That and women like Andrea Kramer, Holly Rowe, and Lesley Visser should not have to be viewed by anyone in HDTV. It's criminally unfair.

Back to Myers though, he thought the proposal was a great moment to catch on live television, but he questioned Ian's thought process behind it.

"I'm all for marriage. But it's kind of rushing things. Plus, his stock had just gone up. And there are other cheerleaders."

He's got a pretty good point. There are tons of other cheerleaders. There's Megan from the USC Song Girls, and then there's always this lovely lass from the Louisville cheerleading squad.

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

Cheerleaders and marching bands just don't get the credit they're due, and we're sick of it.

Today, we'd like to take some time out from our busy posting schedule to salute those who take the time out of their lives to support the team.

This one is for all of you out there.

The very last scene makes the entire thing worth it. That poor girl.
