TheChive.com, the entertainment media website, had posted earlier in the year a retrospective of 50 years of Super Bowl Cheerleaders. Let’s take a look at how professional cheerleading has evolved over the years.
Check out the rest of the photos here.
NFL.com has posted a gallery of their “Best of 2016 Preseason Cheerleaders”. To view their gallery, please click on the image below.
From Inside Edition:
The Los Angeles Rams have returned to the City of Angels after spending more than a decade in St. Louis.
And returning to the field with the cheerleaders is a familiar face, Inside Edition investigative reporter Lisa Guerrero, who was a member of the squad 30 years ago.
Guerrero dropped in on a recent practice to meet the women, who were thrilled about making the team and dared her to don her old uniform.
One cheerleader told Guerrero: “Knowing that the NFL was coming to Los Angeles, I got excited because there is nothing better than football.”
Another said: “The first time I ran out to that field, I was overwhelmed with excitement.”
Guerrero, decked out in her throwback uniform, even joined the ladies in a new routine.
The Rams kick-off their season Monday against the San Francisco 49ers when they will take on embattled quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Editor’s note: these uniforms from the 1980’s were my favorite…just revealing enough to be sexy but without showing too much skin. It’s a far cry from the cheerleader uniforms of today, which show a lot of skin and are very sexy. How times have changed!
The First Ladies of Football performed routines, walked the runway and signed autographs during the 2016-2017 Cheer Calendar Release Party on Thursday, Sept. 2, 2016, at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Md. The Washington Redskins have posted a huge gallery of images from their event. Click here to view the gallery.
Sports Illustrated has posted their latest gallery of cheerleader photos from preseason week 4. To view the gallery, click on the photo below.
Our friends over at the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders sent us some photos from their preseason Week 4 game against the Rams. New stadium…new uniforms…hot…hot…hot.

The Chargers closed preseason against the San Francisco 49ers in their annual Salute to the Military game. Special performances and appearances by current and former military personnel highlighted the festivities. San Diego is a military town and the irony was not lost in that this game would be played against the 49ers, whose controversial quarterback, Colin Kaepernick would be heavily featured.
In a surprisingly high scoring affair for a week 4 preseason game, the Chargers took a 21 – 9 lead into the fourth quarter only to surrender three touchdowns to lose the game.
Final Score: Sourdough Sams – 31, Bolt Men – 21.
Okay, so 49er Christian Ponder was a star for a day while leading his team to victory, but in the whole scheme of things, none of this really mattered as anyone of significance, except for the aforementioned Colin Kaepernick, did not play. What does this mean? Not a whole lot. Anyone who made a difference in this game is not likely to be on the team come the regular season and if they are and playing meaningful minutes…your team has big time trouble…including the aforementioned Colin Kaepernick. This was a scrub city game, through and through.
For me, the highlight of the evening was seeing the Charger Girls in military themed uniforms. Woo! Hoo!
Now before we all get excited and everything, I want to take time to mention the lengths I had to go to get these shots. Once again, the game management people, in all their wisdom (sarcasm) decided to place a HUGE stage with flood lights in front of my section, which virtually obliterated our view of not only the field, but the Charger Girls as well.
Yeah…that’s my seat with the clear bag…and you can imagine the view at eye level. (Click on the image above to see my field of view.)
This has become an ongoing issue over the years, but as long as they continue to obstruct the view of our section, I will mention this stupidity for all to read. Good luck in getting my vote for the new billion dollar stadium ballot measure. Of course my vote wouldn’t matter, because I live in Los Angeles….LOS ANGELES. Maybe it will someday…when they move up here and want another public subsidy.
Okay, I’m stepping off my soap box…until next time…which I hope is next season, but I fully expect it to be sometime later this season when all of this happens again.
So let’s begin this week’s coverage of the hottest dance team in the NFL with the Captains: Marissa, Delani, Bridget, and Teran.
Our friends over at the Vikings sent us some photos from their first ever game at the new U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. Festivities included a pre game performance by the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleader alumni, featuring over 200 alumni cheerleaders from the 1984 team to the current team.
The Vikings have posted a large gallery of images from this game. You can view it here.
