Week 13 of the NFL season and what have we learned so far? There is no more relevant metric than turnovers and to put it simply, if you turn the ball over you’ll lose the game. Or as former Dallas Cowboys lineman Dave Widell has said, “Turnovers are like ex-wives. The more you have, the more they cost you.”
Proponents of football analytics believe there’s a fairly strong correlation between turnover differential and winning percentage, namely that 44% of the variation in a team’s winning percentage can be explained by their turnover differential. And this past Sunday, the Chargers lost the turnover battle when Philip Rivers threw two untimely interceptions, one of which was returned for a defensive touchdown. Consequently, the Chargers lost the game to the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Final Score: Captain Fear – 28, Boltman – 21
There’s another truism in the NFL and that is…if your team has a squad of hot cheerleaders, you’re going to have a great day regardless if you win or lose. And yeah, I had a great day!
Well…the season is winding down and for some teams, it’s winning time…the final push for the playoffs. And for others, it’s time to evaluate players, coaches and staff for next year. There’s only four weeks left in the regular season and the Chargers are barely alive in the playoff hunt. With a 5-7 record, they’re the 12th seed and need to improve six places in order to make the postseason. Unfortunately, the three other Western Division teams are among the top six seeds and it is not likely that the Chargers will be able to overtake any of them. Oh well.
So let’s begin this week’s coverage of the Hottest Dance Team in the NFL with the Captains: Bridget, Teran, Marissa, and Delani.

The Major Arena Soccer League season is underway and the Ontario Fury hosted the Turlock Express this past Friday at the Citizens Business Bank Arena. Fortunately for me, I was able to spend the day after Thanksgiving with the hottest dance team in the MASL, the Ladies of Ontario Fury for game day.
My game days with the Ladies of Ontario Fury are filled with photographic opportunities and I started my day or more properly my evening (it was a night game) off with some posed photographs. The girls greet incoming fans one hour prior to game time and they are available to mingle and take photographs with the fans. You can get up close and personal with the Ladies of Ontario Fury and I did just that, snapping a few photos with the girls in front of a large Christmas Tree.

Who said it never rains in Southern California? Well it certainly did last Sunday…and I am sure the visiting Miami Dolphins were well accustomed to that, but for me and 28 Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders, it was a surreal experience.
So, what are those spots you see in some of those photos above? To Southern Californians, they’re more precious than gold…it’s mana from heaven…rain drops. Now rain wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I found out I was going to shoot the Dolphins game, but its what I got. And I must say it made for some interesting photographs and the Rams Cheerleaders seemed to take it all in stride and had a great time out there. I know I did.
It’s been almost two decades since I was last at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. I was a Raiders season ticket holder back then, so coming back to shoot this game brought back some fond memories…and the realization why the Rams need a new crib. It’s a venerable old stadium, but it’s outdated and the amenities are insufficient for a modern game. While waiting for the kickoff, several photographers huddled in a cramped area near the west end zone. We were dodging the rain. I remember that space being used by the Raiders band back in the 90’s, but it has since been converted to a media room for photographers and their editors to work. It has the advantage to being very close to the field and the WIFI was good, but…well you know.
Last week, the Miami Dolphins played the Chargers in San Diego and I think they remained in Southern California to play the Rams this Sunday. Another week, and another opportunity for both teams. In fact, it was a rather momentous game for the home town Rams as Jared Goff was starting for the first time in his NFL career. Goff was the number one overall pick in the NFL draft and Rams fans have been eagerly awaiting his debut. I mean you don’t select a player #1 overall, pay him all that money to let him ride the pine. No, you got to play him and see what he can do.
And for his first NFL start, Goff did okay, throwing for 134 yards and more importantly zero interceptions. The Rams led the visiting Dolphins for most of the game, taking a 10 point lead deep into the fourth quarter. I made the mistake of assuming the game was in the bag with about six minutes to go because up until that point, the Dolphins had only passed for about 70 yards and the Fins hadn’t really threatened to score. But in their final two possessions of the game, the visitors put together two sustained drives and scored 14 points to steal victory away from the Rams. And a steal it was because up until that time, the Dolphins only managed to cross mid-field twice…twice in 54 minutes of game play.
Well, I did manage to snap a few game photos and the last one below was from the pass play that won the game for the Dolphins.
Yeah, back in the day I used to shoot other things than cheerleaders…but cheerleaders are all that I shoot today. So on with the show!
Our good friends with the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders have let us know that seven year veteran Jacqui was named their Pro Bowl Cheerleader. She was joined by former MVC Pro Bowl Cheerleaders at their Holiday Showcase at the Mall of America held this past Monday.
