Our weekly salute to the bold, brash and otherwise normative-behavior departures in sports.
Props to the six Ripon High School cheerleaders who defied their coach and went ahead with their slightly frisky cheer. If the school doesn't rescind their suspensions, we need to launch an investigation. If the school doesn't man up, the Keyboard Quarterbacks got your back, girls. Free the Ripon 6!
Subsequent props to the Modesto Bee for posting the video and the girls' defense of their move.
Props to Todd Reesing, quarterback of undefeated Kansas (No. 2 in the BCS as of now) for his work in the Pop Culture grid in the Nov. 19 issue of Sports Illustrated (the college hoops preview). He was asked his favorite pickup line. His response: "Did you see the game on Saturday?" Damn, that's good. Rock chalk, Jayhawk!
Props to A-Rod for negotiating without that agent fella of his, Scott Boras.
Props to Kenny Rogers for canning that agent fella of his, Scott Boras.
