Archive for Cheerleader of the Week

Ah, who am I kidding? I would trust her implicitly and believe anything she said as long as she talked to me.

Allow me to introduce to you Miss Brittany Kirby, S.I.’s Cheerleader of the Week. She is a junior at the University of North Carolina majoring in Psychology (BS) and Exercise and Sports Science (BA). A double major, eh? I suppose with the education she receives, Brittany could tell me the underlying psychological reasons why I never exercise, but I suppose it wouldn’t require said education to ascertain that I am an extremely lazy person with severe motivational issues, among others.

Of all the Cheerleaders of the Week I have profiled, Brittany appears to be by far the most girly-girl of them all, which is really saying something.

A few of her responses to “20 Questions”:

If I had to watch one movie on loop forever, it would be: Sweet Home Alabama

GAH!

The shows I DVR/TiVo are: Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girls, and Desperate Housewives

Double GAH!

My worst habit is: I block everything out when I’m texting.

What did I tell you? A girly-girl through and through.

My celebrity crush is: Penn Badgley

Okay, who in the fuck is that?

And finally:

The worst date I’ve ever been on was: I went out to eat with my boyfriend of 1 ½ years and he decided to fill out a card for me for some contest. After a couple minutes, he handed me the card and said “You fill out the rest.” Needless to say he had forgotten my birthday, which is why he gave me the card when that question came up.

To be honest, I have used this line before regarding these lovely young ladies’ comments about their worst dates, but I’ll use it here again:

Brittany, lose the zero and get with the hero. No, not me. Didn’t I just mention that I am a total lazy-ass?

Cheerleader of the Week: North Carolina’s Brittany Kirby [Extra Mustard]

This is it? This is all we get? What’s the deal with that?

Trust me, I was patient. When I noticed that the new Cheerleader of the Week post was up at Extra Mustard, I of course went to see what lovely lass was profiled this week. On young Miss Kristina Marie Anderson’s profile, who is a senior at the University of Illinois, as is the case with every Cheerleader of the Week profile, there was the following message:

Click here to see a photo gallery of Kristina in action.

One problem: there was no link! Just that sentence, mocking me, ridiculing my need to see more of this young lady. As I said, I was patient. I checked again a couple of hours later. Then I checked again this morning. No luck. Finally, I checked just a few minutes ago. No link to her photo gallery! What gives?

And to make matters worse, according to her responses to the stock questions they ask every Cheerleader of the Week, this little lady appears to be somewhat of a firecracker. To wit:

Don’t you just want to pinch those cheeks? No, not those. Okay, those, too.

She is Amy Alexander. She is a senior at the University of Texas majoring nutrition and pre-med – wait – pre-med? Brains and beauty! Intimidating! As mentioned, Amy is just about the cutest little thing under the sun. You can see the lovely Amy’s entire photo gallery here, but after the jump, let’s take a look inside that big brain of hers and highlight some of her responses to the tried and true 20 Questions:

Come on – clicking “Read More” is not really that much work, folks.

Tiana

From time to time, the Sportress of Blogitude enjoys profiling SI’s Cheerleader of the Week, since more people visit this fair site than do SI.com. Consider it a public service, if you will. Lately, I haven’t been doing as many of these. Why? I don’t know. Perhaps I have run out of ways to poke fun at girls who never would have even looked at me when I was in college. Be that as it may, I saw something today so heinous, so reprehensible, I had to shine the bright light of the Sportress upon it.

The lovely young lass you see in the above photo is Tiana Enhorning, a student in her “2nd” year at the University of Western Ontario in Toronto London. She certainly seems like a nice enough gal and you can plainly see for yourself  if you peruse her photos that her corn-fed, Canadian upbringing has given her a healthy figure and glow about her, including phenomenal birthing hips.

Howevah, while gawking at her photos, I came across one that struck me as odd, as if there was something about it that reminded me of the past. Given that I have never been to the University of Western Ontario (to my recollection), I took three hours for lunch instead of my usual two and a half to contemplate what was causing me this feeling of deja vu.

You know, sooner or later, I’m going to write something mean enough about an SI Cheerleader of the Week that it will get back to them and then their boyfriend is going to threaten to kick my ass. Hopefully, it won’t happen with this one because I’m in no mood. No mood I tell you!

Anyway, allow me to introduce you to the SI Cheerleader of the Week: Kayli Fahl, a delightfully cheery young lady who is a sophomore at the University of Cincinnati majoring in psychology (hey, a  fellow pscyh psych major – good luck in the accounting field, Kayli). Like all of the other Cheerleaders of the Week, Kayli is a very unique person with a wide range of interests far beyond the cutthroat world of college cheerleading.  Let’s explore them, shall we?

Continuing my dedication to you, my dear readers, I am once again pleased to present to you SI’s Cheerleader of the Week, because how can I expect you to go to Extra Mustard all by yourself? What kind of host would I be to do that? Not a good one, that’s for sure. Yeah, I’m cool that way.

This week we have Nichole Howarth, who I must say is absolutely adorable. Look at her – what a doll. You know that saying, “I would eat the corn out of her shit just to see where it came from”? That ain’t applicable in Nichole’s case – I would be shocked if she actually pooped. Look, she even spells her name cutely, with the “h” and everything!

Anyhoo, the lovely Miss Nichole is a senior at Virginia Tech majoring in Business Management and Human Resources and she hails from Chesterfield, Virginia.

Whatever that means.

I’m fairly confident we have not come across a more attractive Cheerleader of the Week since the Sportress began documenting them. Meet Vanessa Marrero, a transplanted New Yorker attending Florida International University. Vanessa is a senior majoring in advertising at FIU, but clearly she also has an undeclared minor in Spankbankology.

Need further evidence? Jump on through, friend.

Usually, when I write something about an SI Cheerleader of the Week, more often than not the primary area of discussion tends to revolve around their, ahem, physical attributes. Today we’re going in a different direction.

It’s not that Kristen Bolinger, a junior majoring in Communications-Public Relations at North Carolina State University, is not a cute girl, it’s just that the answers she provided to the questionnaire that SI gives each cheerleader were so darn compelling. You can go look at her photos on Extra Mustard anyway, pervs.

Let’s have a look-see, shall we?

As regular readers of the Sportress are painfully aware of by now, I tend to like to poke fun at the Cheerleader of the Week feature over on Extra Mustard (a wonderful site, I might add) on SI.com. More often than not, it’s mostly good-natured ribbing, other times it’s simply to point out the extremely large breasts of that particular week’s cheerleader.

A few weeks ago, I profiled Lizzie, a cheerleader at the University of Kansas, in a post titled “SI’s Cheerleader of the Week Has A Thing For Guys Who Slap Their Women Around,” and the interesting choice she made for celebrity crush: Chris Brown.

We all know about the terrible things Chris Brown did to Rihanna and I gave the young lady a bit of crap about her crush. If you look back at the post, on September 8th, commenter ChalmersForThree, who must be an acquaintance of Lizzie’s, pointed out that “Actually, Lizzie filled out the SI.com bio sheet in December 2008 (because the photos were taken during the Insight.com bowl), which was before the Chris Brown incident.”

Fair enough.

Today, the Sportress received another comment on the post, this time from binkerman, who stated, “It is advisable to check sources and resources before posting. In the article re: Lizzie’s celebrity crush it says, “My celebrity crush is:Dermot Mulroney”

Now this bugged me. I went a checked the profile of Lizzie and sure as shit, her profile now reads that Dermot Mulroney is her celebrity crush.

I don’t care that they changed it on her behalf. In fact, I applaud it. Someone should have noticed how her answer didn’t look so great nearly 10 months after Lizzie filled out her questionairre.

But I will not be accused of not checking sources (and resources, even!). I may be a cheat, a liar and a terrible writer, but I can tell you one thing: I am not a Communist.

Submitted for your approval is this week’s SI Cheerleader of the Week, Danielle Hilliard. She is a junior majoring in Criminology at the University of…

Western Ontario?? What the fuck? A Canadian college? First of all, I didn’t even know they had colleges in Canada – you know, way up there – but they have cheerleaders too? And from the looks of it, they breed ‘em pretty nice up there.

Good job, Canada.
