Here are some observations we received from our reader and friend, Gines Pasamonte:
This weekend's NFL conference championship games presented the neophyte or casual football fan with two distinct versions of football.
What was the difference? Well, for one, cheerleaders.
Check out: The Eagles and the Cardinals . Each has accomplished, traditional cheerleading teams.
In the AFC championship game, the casual fan may be disappointed to find out that the Steelers have no cheerleading squad. That deficiency is corrected by the fact that the Ravens not only have female cheerleaders ... but a male cheer stunt team . (Something for everyone.)
Unfortunately, the two cheerleading squads were no help to the Ravens.
The astute observer may have then wondered: "Well, since the Steelers don't have cheerleaders and are the only team not named after a bird, could they be the best team in the playoffs and prohibitive favorites to win the Super Bowl?"
The key to successful football analysis is being able to decipher such imponderable questions. (But since the operators of this website don't condone illegal betting on sports events, I'm not at at liberty to give you the correct answer.)
