Last Monday I told you guys that I'd begin each week through the first Sunday of the NFL season by counting down to kickoff. However, thanks to Brianna McLaughlin and the controversial University of Central Florida photoshoot, I had to call an audible yesterday. So, we're picking up the countdown today as we're slightly less than five weeks away from the opening Sunday. In honor of that, Hot Clicks is featuring the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders. The squad isn't just satisfied with cheering on the Iggles. They're also trying to help gulf restoration by donating 10 percent of their swimsuit calendar sales to the charity.

We've been covering the ridiculous hazing haircuts that have taken place throughout the NFL. Here is a good summary of 20 memorable, light-hearted hazing incidents from recent years.
It's That Time Of Year
Reds second baseman Brandon Phillipson the St. Louis Cardinals before Monday's game: "I'd play against these guys on one leg. We have to beat these guys. All they do is bitch and moan about everything, all of them. They're little bitches, all of them. I really hate the Cardinals. Compared to the Cardinals, I love the Chicago Cubs. Let me make this clear: I hate the Cardinals." The Cardinals then beat the Reds, 7-3. Phillips went 0 for 5. Karma? Perhaps. Either way, at least this saga led to this great "headline."
