Beauty but no brains
Last night, as Traci and I worked to finish the program for our upcoming wedding, I was flipping through the channels to find anything remotely interesting... As usual, nothing. So I just left the channel turned to the NFL network as background noise... listening to the NFL Total Access show.
After that ended, the NFL Cheerleader Playoffs came on.
The premise is this... They take two-member teams from most of the NFL team's cheerleading squads and put them in physical (running, swimming, biking, etc.), trivia, and dance competition with each other. They are currently in round one of the competition, and have 4 groups competing per show. The top 2 teams from each show go to the next round...
I wasn't really interested, until they got to the trivia portion. Now remember, these are NFL cheerleaders... Meaning they spend at least 8 weeks every season (home games) on the sidelines of NFL games, surrounded by NFL players, and all that goes with being associated with all that is the NFL.
Here are some choice questions, and answers that were given. I am not picking on any one team's cheerleaders, so there are sample questions and answers from each team.
1) The largest attendance for an NFL regular-season game is more or less than 100,000 people? answer given: Correct -- I swear that's what she said.
2) Home many teams are in each conference? answer given: 32
3) What state is home to the Pro Bowl? answer given: Florida
4) What position does the San Diego Chargers' Antonio Gates play? answer given: Quarterback
5) How many yards is it from one goal line to the other? answer given: 10
6) What color is the challenge flag? answer given: PASS (next question)
7) What state do the Green Bay Packers play in? PASS (next question)
Complete questions and answers can be found by following the link at the top of this post. Try it and see how you do. On TV, they didn't get to the 20 and 40 point questions that are listed on the link.
I would like to announce that the Buffalo Bills squad dominated and won all 4 of the events in their competition, and moved to the next round. Their trivia part was to match all 32 team logos to the team names in 90 seconds or less. They completed it with 17 seconds left.
Before some of fans out there say "How hard could that be?" The results of the teams involved:
Bills: 32 correct with 17 seconds left
Vikings: 32 correct with 3 seconds left
Eagles: 17 correct with 0 seconds left
Texans: 12 correct with 0 seconds left
At least one part of the Buffalo Bills team won something this season. Ditch Losman!

I tried your little trivia game.
Results
Miami Dolphins - 10 out of 12 correct.
St. Louis Rams - 9 out of 12 correct.
San Francisco 49ers - 9 out of 12 correct.
Tenessee Titans - 7 out of 12 correct.
20 Point Questions - 4 out of 6 correct.
40 Point Questions - 4 out of 8 correct.
I hope that makes me smarter than an NFL Cheerleader!
Yes it does... The most any team got right was 4, but all the teams ran out of time before all the questions were asked.
There were either 9 or 10 questions asked of each team.
