FOOTBALL SEASON IS BACK...ALMOST...

Football is back...or at least it will be very shortly.  Players have reported to training camps, practices are underway, and we are just over a week away from the first preseason games.  Each new season brings with it a special sense of hope and expectation.  Everyone is in first place, crippling injuries haven't sunk anyone's playoff hopes yet, and there are no lob-sided trades to lament.  Yes, the weeks before the HHSFFL Draft are a stress-free time that some team owners will long for in just a few short months.  So, with little actual football to report, lets take a look behind the scenes at some of the HHSFFL's most diehard supporters as they audition for roles on various cheerleading squads throughout the league.

With two teams changing their logos this year, new uniforms were necessary.  I'd have to say that the Little Giants and the Malibu Beach Sharknados have done excellent jobs.

Hawkeye Nation seems to have lowered their standards a bit with this years sideline entertainment.  Perhaps ownership prides themselves on being an equal opportunity employer.  I must admit, this seems to be one area where viewers wouldn't want to see corners being cut.  If this is the type of product they are going to be putting on the sideline, I'd be worried about what kind of a product they are going to put on the field.      

Leave it to the advertising geniuses at the Mad Men to find the perfect location to promote their team logo.  Expert efficiency in terms of advertising space.   

The Mean Machine Graeber Dancers below have gotten very creative this off season with their wardrobe and choreography.  The auditions have been grueling, held in the yard during free exercise from 11 - 2 every day, between laundry and group showers.  This squad may not be much to look at, but remember that the Mean Machine is pulling its talent from an all-male, maximum security prison.  Reportedly ownership has filed a grievance with the warden in hopes of obtaining access to the women's prison down the road.  Although I'm not sure that would look much better.

P.S.  If you don't think this article was just so I could post pictures of hot girls and make fun Graeber and Hamilton along the way then you obviously don't know me very well.
