On the last day of the NFL season, here is a final shout-out to the St Louis Rams Cheerleaders from their final home game at the Edward Jones Dome. Here our photos of the lines of some dedicated captains. Meghan was in her eighth season and Michelle in her sixth. Congratulations on all of your years cheering on your Rams!

We will see what the future holds for the Rams Cheerleaders. Who knows, they may be cheering on Peyton Manning if he and the Rams find mutual ground. And when the Raiders moved to Oakland, the Raiderettes from LA cheered for them the first season, so anythign can happen!

Talkin’ baseball? I’m all for it! Spring training, pitchers and catchers, cactus and grapefruit leagues, bring them on!

The Pro Bowl sidelines will feature Alexis, the last St. Louis Rams Cheerleader to participate for the all-star game for the foreseeable future (one can never say never about a move back to St. Louis, right?).

And speaking of the Pro Bowl, the poor game is taking its knocks, and who knows how long it will continue. But the talented, hard working cheerleaders of the NFL need to continue to reward one of their own per squad to a sweet post-season reward. So cheer fans, if the Pro Bowl was discontinued, what would be a worthy reward for the best of the best NFL cheerleaders? Being part of Super Bowl festivities, assisting with the NFL Honors and other shows that week, and then culminating with dancing on-stage with the halftime performers? Any other ideas?

Here are some photos of Alexis at the last St. Louis Rams home game. Cheers to you and all former and current St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders!

A few days before the NFL approved their move to LA, the Rams website featured Rams Cheerleader Kenisha in their “From the Top” series. Kenisha is full of fun and energy, and as she mentions below about what her team means to her, “Everything. They are my friends. They’ve helped me through things. They’re a very special part of my life.”

Kenisha started dancing when she was nine years old. She fell in love immediately, enjoying every visit to her dance studio in O’Fallon, Mo. She continued dancing through high school and went on to coach youth cheerleaders of the Mid-Rivers Football Association.

After graduating from Fort Zumwalt North High School, Kenisha attended University of Missouri-Columbia, where she was a member of Main Attraction Dance Team. After two years on Main Attraction, Kenisha became a member of the Mizzou Golden Girls, the university’s official dance team. Kenisha recently earned her degree in business administration from Mizzou this past spring. Though she was finished with school, she hadn’t quite graduated from dancing just yet.

Coming back to St. Louis, she auditioned for the St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders. She made the team and the rookie hasn’t looked back since. In addition to being a Rams Cheerleader, Kenisha launched her career at Boeing where she works as a procurement agent.

Favorite memory as a Rams Cheerleader?
Running out through the tunnel is awesome. It was cool to have the pyrotechnics, too.

What food item would you bringing to a tailgate?
I’m bringing cupcakes.

Last movie that made you cry?
Straight Outta Compton.

Favorite movie?
The Notebook. I watch it monthly.

Celebrity look-a-likes?
I’m going to go with Beyoncé.

Favorite emoji?
The smiling one with the little eyes and all its teeth are showing. I’m always super excited.

Dream vacation?
I would go to a beach with no cellphones or internet. Just the water and the waves.

Favorite Disney Princess?
Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.

Go-to karaoke song?
Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.” But I do have a boyfriend.

Favorite community outreach event or activity?
I danced at Mizzou and we hosted a junior cheerleading clinic, where we would work with young girls for a month. We would teach them to dance and also give them some mentoring. I really enjoyed watching them grow.

Favorite cartoon growing up?
SpongeBob SquarePants.

How do you stay healthy?
I work out five days a week and I try not to eat carbs.

What’s the first thing you would do if you won the lottery?
I would start my own business.

Most random item in your bag/purse?
I have a mascara brush, but it’s without the mascara.

What do your teammates mean to you?
Everything. They are my friends. They’ve helped me through things. They’re a very special part of my life.

Here are some photos of Kenisha from the Rams last home game in St. Louis.

Speculation continues about the future of NFL football in St. Louis. One recent piece of “word on the street” is that several owners think St. Louis should remain part of the NFL. But since the Rams owner Stan Kreinke is not exactly singing “Should I stay or should I go now?”, and more a tune of “Got To Get Out Of Here,” one piece of speculation is that the Rams and Chargers owners swap franchises, and Dean Spanos would own the St. Louis Rams.

In the meantime, here is captain Sara’s line from the last home game of the season. More photos are at this link.

So maybe you are attending your first Tennessee Titans game today, but perhaps you question your gridiron knowledge and do not know if you will cheer or react correctly at the right times. Predicament solved! Just watch Titans Cheerleader Jocelyn on the sidelines and do what she does!

Besides having a graduate degree and a busy career, Detroit product Jocelyn is a REAL football fan, if you do not know how the game is going, just keep your eye on Jocelyn. She will be 100% into the game!

And even if you know all about football, you may find yourself keeping an eye on Jocelyn and the rest of the TTC anyway I bet!
