		<description>Toonces, I swore the Packers had cheerleaders (though wearing very modest costumes) so I looked it up under WikiAnswers ...."The Green Bay Packers did have official cheerleaders, but the Packers decided not to reinstate them after the 1988 season"...don't know why they did so except maybe cold weather has some  visible effects on a body ;)</description>

		<description>JPF - The Packers are one of approximately six NFL teams not to have cheerleaders.

http://www.manlyweb.com/women/nfl/

Half of those teams are in the NFC North, where the Vikings have the most attractive cheerleaders. The Bears I get, due to the weather, and the Packers too, due to everyone in town not playing in the game being drunk on paint thinner by kickoff--but the Lions?  They've played indoors forever*, and they don't have cheerleaders?

*forever=my lifetime.</description>

		<description>Id say GB by 2, that is after it comes out that Randy Moss can not come near any GB cheerleader due to restraining orders.

Mclovins.... gotta love the scrappy team.  And by Scrappy, i mean as in "as engaging as Scrappy do was on Scooby do."

Seantrel is the real deal.</description>
