Cheerleaders are Smart

I'm sure a lot of you have seen this by now, but if not you've got to check it out (it's very hard for me to believe that this cheerleader was not killed -- have you ever seen film of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona?):

• You know, I will freely admit this, even if it makes me look like a complete jackass: I just assumed that, when the Panthers went out and signed 62-year old Vinny Testaverde to be their starting QB, it was because both Jake Delhomme *AND* David Carr were hurt. But when Vinny got his ankle rolled up on Sunday, in jogged a healthy David Carr. How many times a day, on average, do you think Carr throws up in his mouth a little bit when he is faced with the realization that he couldn’t wrest a starting NFL job away from Vinny Testaverde? He should quit the business. Would that sort of be the same thing as being Joey Lawrence in Hollywood – being hot for a short time before falling from grace, not really able to cash in on your celebrity… then time passes, and just when you think things are starting to turn around for you, you audition for a part in Scorsese’s new film, only to find out that you didn’t get it, and instead it went to Corey Haim or Ashton Kutcher? Wouldn’t you quit the business immediately?

• (As a post-script to that item, I’m bemused by the fact that one could replace David Carr’s name with ‘Joey Harrington’, and then Vinny’s name with ‘Byron Leftwich’, and the analogy still works perfectly.)

New mathematical equation:

IF...














THEN...














OR...
















QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM (I'm pretty good at math, and stuff).
