The Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders have been such a great service to mankind, with their sideline dancing and lingerie calendars and such. And now, in addition to being providers of alluring entertainment, the Philly pom-pom girls are doing their part to save the environment.
WITH LEATHER sorts & separates the news that this year’s cheerleader bikini calendar is going to be eco-friendly - or as the Eagles prefer to put it, eco-sexy! (With more pics after the jump.) Read more…
Reuben Frank of PHILLYBURBS.com reports on Andy Studebaker, an anonymous DIII defensive end from Wheaton College who apparently would not have been drafted had it not been for a video of one of his workouts on Youtube:
“Nobody ever heard of this kid, but then his workout started popping up on You Tube and next thing you know, he got super hot and everybody (in the NFL) is looking at him,” Eagles general manager Tom Heckert said. “If it wasn’t for You Tube, he probably wouldn’t have been drafted.”

One cranky congressman voted “nay” on a resolution congratulating the New York Giants on their Super Bowl win. Surprisingly, it wasn’t a member from Massachusetts, but a politician from Pennsylvania:

Michael Klein of the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER revs up news that David Akers is suing a Florida car restorer for doing “shoddy work” on his Ford Mustang - including a $1,700 radar detector.

CORNERMAN REUBEN KINCAID HAS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM: Dan Gross of the PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS reports that the picture of sporting health, Danny Bonaduce, is going to fight former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema in a boxing match.
Gross doesn’t really explain why Bonaduce plans to get crumpled by Sikahema at something called Marple Sports Arena (sounds like a Spinal Tap venue). But the former Iggle kicker returner, who is now a TV sports guy in Philly, isn’t sweating it.The 45-year-old Sikahema, who played eight years in the NFL and was a Golden Gloves boxer as a youth said, “I’ll annihilate him. I don’t discount how crazy he is, and I know he fancies himself a tough guy.”
Three-pack-a-day smoker Bonaduce, 48, hasn’t heard of Sikahema and when it was mentioned that he was a special-teams player in the NFL, the drug-addled desperado said: “Special teams, huh? I’m pretty sure he’s from the Special Olympics. Is he gonna take his helmet off before he gets in the ring?”With funny boners like that, no wonder CBS gainfully employs Bonaduce on Adam Carolla’s stuck-in-neutral morning show. Yawn.
And very surprisingly, the Daily News doesn’t mention the undercard: Reuben Kincaid vs. Chuck Bednarik. Now THAT’s a fight we like to see.
