With the NFL season now in full swing, we figured what better time than now to give the lovely ladies of the sidelines a little face time? I mean, who doesn’t love football cheerleaders? (Other than the folks in Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, New York/Jersey and Green Bay, I mean.) With that in mind, and in the spirit of our Sexiest Woman in the World tournament and Epic’s Hottest WAG tournament, we are proud to present, The Hottest NFL Cheerleader tournament!

It wasn’t easy for us to go through each and every NFL team Web site and sift through hundreds of photographs of beautiful women in skimpy outfits. Hard work, I tell you, but the staff here at on 205th magazine worked day and night and came up with these very gifted 48 women.

Doing this was an also exercise in which teams really give a crap about their cheerleaders as some team Web sites were just plain awful in presenting their squads. Example: The Atlanta Falcons did one whole picture on the girls, a group shot with all their names under it. No bios, nothing… And if we’re wrong on that, then it’s the team’s own fault for not making the bios reasonably accessible.

We also discovered that some teams have apparently cornered the market on hotties, while some teams, well, they need to look harder next year. And amazingly, the world-renowned Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ site pretty much blows. Also note, as I alluded to above, that the Bears, Browns, Steelers, Lions, Giants and Packers apparently don’t have official cheerleaders. And if they do, they sure aren’t telling anyone.

If there is a team that does have cheerleaders and they aren’t represented below, well, we’re sorry, but we had to limit the list to just 48 ladies and there were just more damn fine women than there were spots available.

By the way, we would in no way be opposed to our readers sending us pictures of any women they feel were slighted… hehe…
