A welcome distraction

Proving once and for all that it really is the No Fun League, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reportedly banned teams from using their cheerleaders to distract visiting teams.

According to Charley Casserly's report on the CBS pregame show, all 32 teams were sent a memo that stated, "No longer will (cheerleaders) be allowed to warm up in front of the visiting team locker room or do their stretching in front of the visiting team locker room. … The reason? Some players feel they were being a little distracted."

What? Look at that picture at the right. Are you telling me that's going to distract a professional from, um, doing … um, the job, you know … um, he's being paid for, hmmm …

I'm sorry, what was I saying?

Remember Casserly is the "genius" that drafted the soft and yet beautiful David Carr as the QB for Houston. You can't really believe anything Casserly says, IMO.

Respectfully,
