Redskins Cheerleader Anabel Dela Cerna rebukes Coach Zorn

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

Update [2008-2-13 13:16:57 by Skin Patrol]: I've been told that:
Tune in!! This year’s "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit cover model MARISA MILLER will be on the "The Ellen Degeneres Show" on Friday, February 15, 2008. Check your local listings or visit www.ellendegeneres.com for time and channel.
That's my good deed of the day.
I have little time today but thought this was a matter of import. Earlier this week Jim Zorn tried to unilaterally change the team's colors (or else he simply mispoke, I don't like to speculate or rumor monger, rather I just present the objective facts and let reader(s) reach their own conclusions, because I'm a morally serious person who thinks damned Jim Zorn tried to unilaterally change the colors, that son of a bitch). Redskins Cheerleader Anabel Dela Cerna -- also a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition model -- bravely spoke on behalf of all those who can't defend themselves, namely, web loggers like myself silenced by the cruel, uncaring meritocracy that is the internet.

As you can see, there is no maroon, there is no black [NOTE: Maroon and Black THE BLOG, an idea whose time has come!], there is burgundy, there is gold. Your move, Jim.

Speaking of Head Coach Zorn, he apparently owes me and my ilk a huge debt of thanks. But for the existence of completely irrelevant bloggers like myself and actually relevant ones like Mister Irrelevant, we'd be discussing Head Coach Jim Fassel. At least, that's how Jim Fassel tells it per the DC Sports Bog, emphasis mine:

I believe Jim Fassel to be a great guy, and I think he probably got treated poorly over the past month, and I would have been fine with him as head coach, but just today the real culprits behind his non-hiring emerged. Their names? Mister Irrelevant, Unsilent Majority, Hogs Haven, and the Curly R. From Fassel's interview with the John Thompson Show this afternoon:

    [Fassel said:] When I got the New York Giants job I remember telling my family that, 'You know, you cannot hold the lead in these jobs in major markets.' Because you've got bloggers[!!!], and they're saying, 'No, this isn't the right guy, and that ain't the right guy,' and you can't hold the lead, because you are going to take the hit. I mean, when you're the lead dog, you're going to take the hit. And I think the longer it went, the longer it went, the longer it went....

Alright alright, it was me, I did it. I managed to cause a fan revolt by reaching out to all 4 people who read this blog in a furious campaign of emails and phone calls and sometimes just shouting because the only people who read this blog are related to me.

I blame this guy, at least he can actually write well.

Michael Strahan wants your cheerleaders

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

Per Bob via Dan via Jamie. Confused but, here goes:

Strahan admits he sometimes checks out the cheerleaders during games, and even suggests that one reason that teams use them is to distract opposing teams...

"The Washington Redskins get the prize in my book. Every single one of those girls is stunning."

Really this is just an excuse to post pictures of cheerleaders, a duty I've neglected to meet in quite some time now. But first, a word from Greg Easterbrook, who has vigilantly noted a dramatic shift in cheerleader hegemony:
Back-to-back summer-weather nationally televised games hosted by Washington and Dallas confirmed beyond doubt what NFL observers have been thinking for several years -- the Redskins cheerleaders are now the league's hottest dance team, leaving the Cowboys cheerleaders in their aesthetic dust. Twenty years ago, the Cowboys' pep squad may have been the best-looking and best-dancing in the NFL. Now, it's not even close -- the Redskins cheerleaders are No. 1 in looks and in choreography. Here they are, and here's their warm-to-the-touch swimsuit calendar. At this point, the Broncos cheerleaders tie the Redskins cheerleaders in beauty and the Eagles cheerleaders tie them in choreography, but Washington finishes first overall, including for game-day professionalism. (Professionalism in the cheer context meaning skin, or at least skintight.) Obviously, this is a debate that should continue throughout the season.
Shut up already Skin and Greg and get to the cheerleaders, pictures selected by me from Redskins.com. A sampling:

Calendar Premier Party

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

Received the scoop from Redskins Cheerleaders Marketing and Events Coordinator Melanie Treanor who was also kind enough to send me the flier. For all reader(s) in the D.C. area, the event starts this Friday at 7:30 (doors open at 6:30). Per the Official Site:

On Friday, Aug. 10, the Redskins Cheerleaders will host their annual Calendar Premier Party at Fur Nightclub in Washington, D.C. The event will start at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) and features performances by the new cheerleaders squad.

Fur Nightclub is located at 33 Patterson Street NE in Washington, D.C. Admission is $15.

In mid-May, the entire Redskins Cheerleaders squad traveled to Cancun, Mexico for the annual calendar shoot.

The women spent one week working with photographers at the resort and on the beach, and the end result was breathtaking photos of some of the most beautiful women in sports entertainment.

Watch for the 2007-08 Redskins Cheerleader Calendar as it becomes available in Redskins Official Stores and the Redskins Official Online Store.

My thanks again to Melanie for contacting me.

Know thy enemy

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

[editor's note, by Skin Patrol] I feel like I owed faithful Hogs Haven reader(s) this post, after those terrifying pictures of Andre Carter.
Recently I found myself in a rather lengthy discussion over the merits of Troy Aikman and how good he really was (or wasn't) over at Blogging the Boys, our resident Cowboys blogger. That discussion proceeded in a relatively civil manner given that I was dogging one of their icons in their territory. In honor of that, I want to take a moment to show some respect for our hated rivals. Despite how we may personally feel about the team, they do some things very well. To wit:



Hat's off to you Dallas Cheerleaders, you're the Cowboys we love to hate. Pictures taken from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader website with a hat tip to The Professional Cheerleader Blog, which makes its way to my blogroll today.

Because I feel like I've cheated on my beloved Washington Redskins cheerleaders, here are a few pictures of our own Katie, (taken from the Official Site) acting very professionally by showing that there's more to being a cheerleader than throwing on a bathing suit.

Hail to Cheerleaders. Football resumes now.

Redskins Cheerleader tryouts

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

Hat tip: Extreme Skins

Per John Cell at Skinscast:

The 2007 Washington Redskins Cheerleaders final auditions were held Sunday at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse. A crowd of approximately 250 people gathered on a windy, wet, Sunday afternoon to see who would round-out the new squad. This was a limited paid admission event, although in years past free to the public.
Who'd we lose?
Only 3 returning girls from the 2006 squad did not make the final cut. Kelly N., Ginger and Alexandra...

Missing from the finals this year was last years' Pro Bowl representative Kimberly. Also missing were longtime veterans Onya, Christine, Genienne, Jennifer and Lauren, as well as Brittany, Rachel, Tonya and Michae'.

Though I'm certain these lovely women will be replaced by... lovely women, and best of luck to them, they will be missed. You can do your own investigating to see which one of these is the biggest loss, though I'd have to say it's Brittany:

Noooooooooo!

Anyways, John Cell got plenty of good pictures that you can see here.

So did the Professional Cheerleader Blog (bookmark that) including one of the apparently Official Washington Redskins Cocktail Dress:

Looks official to me.

Update [2007-4-17 14:31:16 by Skin Patrol]: How could I neglect to mention this? As Sportz Assassin reminded me, Your Washington Redskins Cheerleaders won the 2006 Beauties On the Beach Challenge in Mortal Kombat over all the other NFL's cheerleaders. So we won something last year. Also click the AOL Fanhouse link above for an awesomely deprived video of fan ogling a Redskins cheerleader. Hail to your lack of shame, sir. I support that.

Slow morning so here's some Cheerleading news

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

Final Auditions for the newest group of Redskins Cheerleaders are this Sunday at 3:00PM Eastern. Per the Official Site:

The Redskins Cheerleaders Final Auditions show is open to the public! Come out to the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse on Sunday, April 15, at 3 p.m. ET to watch first-hand what it takes to make the Redskins Cheerleaders squad!
Click here for Ticket Information

How are decisions made?

Cheerleader candidates will be judged on their appearance, performance in dance routines, ability to entertain and photogenic ability.
Isn't that like saying, Cheerleaders are judged on looks, dancing, looks and looks? Can someone explain to me the substantive difference between "photogenic ability" and "appearance"? Am I complaining? Absolutely not.

It's a slow news cycle today for the Redskins, though the Schedule should be out later on NFL.com which I will post about as soon as it comes out. In the meantime please (seriously) feel free to post your own thoughts in the Diaries section as I'm going to be busy throughout the afternoon. Though breaking news will no doubt find its way to Hogs Haven, today might be uniquely absent my usually unrelated and mindless rants. You'll have to entertain yourselves.

Speaking of Pro Bowlers, meet Kimberly

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

Where have all the cheerleader pictures been? Ok ok ok...


Redskins Cheerleader Kimberly here presenting you with a Curly R. She'll be representing the Washington Redskins at the Pro Bowl. Picture from the Official Site

Cheerleader Blog -- Kimberly: Aloha From Hawaii. Or else check the Official Story from Redskins.com.

Kimberly's Profile:

Saying/Quote: "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars!"
Skin Patrol and Hogs Haven strongly discourage readers from actually shooting for/towards the moon, as falling bullets could very well injure innocents resulting in possible jail time. (In which case you might find yourself literally among the stars.)
Countries visited as a Washington Redskins Cheerleader? Austria, Bahrain, Bosnia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Djbouti, Dominican Republic, England, Equador, Germany, Guam, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Macedonia, Mexico, Okinawa, Oman, Pakistan, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates.
What the hell? This makes me want to become a Redskins Cheerleader. Full Disclosure: If it seems like I'm saying Redskins Cheerleader a lot it is simply because I am boosting my hit count from the pervs who find this site through Google Searches for precisely that combination of words. There's no such thing as a bad reason to visit Hogs Haven though; we accept you no matter what, even if you're a Redskins Cheerleader (again!) addict. You know who you are.

Nothing happening. Here are some pictures of Redskins Cheerleaders

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Cheerleaders

I receive a decent amount of hits from people searching for "Washington Redskins Cheerleaders" or some combination therein so consider this a shameless attempt to increase my Google Visibility for Redskins Cheerleaders. Or alternatively, if you're the kind of person to think less of me for plugging for Google Visibility, I did this for the children. They're our future, man.

(PS: My favorite picture is at exactly 4:35 so you have to watch the entire thing, suckers.)
