Eight in the box: NFL cheerleaders

EIGHT: Cheerleaders- What about the women who grace the sidelines of our favorite NFL stadiums every Sunday? Well, our NFP advisory panel thought it was time to get them involved, and we’re proud to bring you some samples of why we actually stick around for halftime. Enjoy.

SEVEN: Crabtree- Former Niners owner Eddie Debartolo Jr, said this week that he wouldn’t be “pushed around” by current San Fran holdout Michael Crabtree. In fact, he’d let Crabtree try his chances again in next year’s NFL Draft. Funny, but that seems to be the stance of head coach Mike Singletary — whose team just went into the home of the defending NFC champs and pushed them around the field. Sorry, Michael, but you’re becoming old news, guy.

SIX: Trash Talk- It started with Rex Ryan (which I loved), and now it’s trickled down to the Jets locker room, where safety Kerry Rhodes is taking his own shots at the Patriots. Rhodes, who has zero Super Bowl rings, said the Jets are going to hit QB Tom Brady and that they’ll “try to embarrass them.” Too bad the Jets can’t play the Texans every week.

FIVE: Grand Opening- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will open his new McMansion this Sunday when the ‘Boys host the Giants in the stadium that doubles as an amusement park/mega-mall — complete with a scoreboard that has caused more drama than T.O. in a Cowboys uniform. And, yes, the Cowboys Cheerleaders will be there as well.

FOUR: DHB Talk- You gotta love the Raiders, and you gotta love rookie WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, who went through his first pro game with more drops (2) than receptions. But he assured us it was all right when he said, “For the first game, it was solid.” Solid? If two drops and no impact in a game can pay you that type of coin, please sign me up. 

THREE: Lambeau Leap- Chad Ochocinco was back at it again this week with the media. Yes, the king of self-promotion has promised to do the “Lambeau Leap” this Sunday in Green Bay after he scores a TD. This announcement, of course, came after the Bengals struggled to score only seven points against the Broncos’ defense, which (last time I checked) wasn’t the ’85 Bears. Good luck, Chad.

TWO: Injury Report- Well, it seems that the Jets got caught this week — and paid for it — by hiding the fact that Brett Favre was indeed hurt at the end of last season. So it looks like it cost former Jets head coach Eric Mangini $25k to hide the fact Favre was throwing away their season in Seattle. Nice move.

ONE: The ‘Skins Sidelines- It could be a long year in Washington with the struggles of their offensive line and the quarterback play of Jason Campbell, but these games are still worth going to. In fact, after seeing this, I expect NFP Fantasy expert Joe Fortenbaugh to book the next flight to D.C.

Still haven’t signed up for the NFP Total Access Pass? The best in-season fantasy coverage around.

Have a good weekend. He gone.
