Are You Ready For Some Football?

We know many of you are solely focused on attractive Olympians right now, but we still haven't caught Olympic fever. However, we are anxiously awaiting the NFL season. And so is The Love Of NFL, which gets us ready for the upcoming campaign by breaking down the Top 10 NFL Cheerleading Squads. The Bucs' squad, featured above, comes in at No. 4. Somehow the Houston Texans didn't make the cut, which makes no sense. As reader Nate Brown, of Houston, said in an e-mail to us, "I couldn't get the link in Thursday's post to work, but if the guy didn't include "NFL cheerleader calendar photographer", as one of the best jobs in sports, any and all Hot Clicks privileges should be revoked. Seriously, where else could an overweight man tell a woman like this to disrobe and still be the one receiving a cash payment at the end of the day?"

The End Of An Era

We know those of you outside of New York won't care about this next item, but indulge us. A little piece of us died last night when we heard the news that Chris "Mad Dog" Russo left WFAN. We've listened to the Mike and the Mad Dog show each and every day for more than 15 years and recently became addicted to this hysterical message board. There isn't a sports-talk show that comes close to being as good as this one, and there's no chance of Russo or Mike Francesa being half as entertaining solo as they were together. This has been one of the worst weeks we can remember. First, we realized the Yankees won't be in the playoffs for the first time since 1993, and now this. The only things we have to look forward to in life now are Friday Night Lights, Gossip Girl and betting on football. For the Russo fans out there, we give you these classic YouTubes: A must-hear rant from Russo on his beloved San Francisco Giants; Russo going OFF on Pacman Jones; Russo rips Big Brown; a toddler imitates Russo's classic show opener.

Somebody Got A Haircut

Manny Ramirez :: AP

Yesterday, at 5:11 p.m., this e-mail landed in our inbox from Craig Hughes, Tulsa, Okla.: "Is there a time frame as to when Manny Ramirez cuts his hair? I thought he agreed to comply with Joe Torre's request." Well, Craig, Manny did the deed, but we don't see how this is supposed to satisfy Joe Torre. Speaking of Manny, he's not missed by Jonathan Papelbon.
UPDATE: 12:53 p.m. -- Eagle-eyed readers, Matt, of Boston, and Matt D., of Windsor, Ontario, have e-mailed to say everyone's favorite sideline reporter -- lookin' good as always -- can be seen throughout the interview in the background. Great catch, fellas.
