"Just Win Baby"

I really wanted to call this post "Smokin' Hot Wet Lesbian Cheerleaders" but thought that was a little much for a family-oriented blog like ours. As noted, the Rhino and I did have a few drinks and brought our bartender to a place of enlightenment by the end of the evening. She was great. She's twenty-five years old and is preparing to use her very valuable Political Science degree from CSU to launch her career in electoral politics. Having a great deal of expertise in this area, since the Rhino and I are both proud Poli Sci graduates, and because we'd been drinking for a while when she told us about her ambitions, we gave her some unsolicited advice. Good luck darling. Don't let anyone dissuade you. You have certain attributes that no Political Science professor can teach. I don't know if that makes you electable, but it's far better than the alternative.

Anyway, back to football. Those of you who follow the Raiders know that "Just Win Baby" is the slogan of the owner, Al Davis. It came from his days as the coach of the outlaw AFL Oakland Raiders. It meant that he didn't really care what you did all week long, as long as you strapped it up on Sunday and played 60 minutes of smash mouth football. The Raiders have always used the slogan as a source of pride and a means to attract otherwise troubled souls to the Silver and Black. The list of wild players who found a home and prospered with the Raiders is huge, but perhaps no one lived the slogan more than Big John Matuszak. At 6'8" and 280 pounds, he was one of the dominant defensive players of his era and led the Raider defense to two Super Bowl victories. He died at age 38 of heart failure, which people attribute to his wild and reckless life, including the use of recreational drugs and anabolic steroids. The reason I was thinking about the Raiders and The Tooz, is all this nonsense about the TopCats (you know, the hot lesbian cheerleaders ---see I can play too, Rhino ). You see, The Tooz apparently had a penchant for The Raiderettes, and usually two of them at a time. So, with all the hypocrisy surrounding the the discovery that cheerleaders, in this case the TopCats, might not be entirely so demure, I thought I'd check in on my favorite professional football cheerleaders, The Raiderettes. If you check out their official website, you'll be pleased to see that The Raiderettes are all about T & A, and provide no illusions about supporting the community or doing anything other than providing a little titillation in between tackles. Let's face it. Americans love football, and all real Americans love football when it's accompanied by smokin' hot women in revealing costumes.

Check out The Raiderettes' website. A "Committment to Excellence," indeed.
