I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking, "A half-court basketball shot? Hey, it might take me a few tries, but no big deal!"

I remind you, though, that form also counts.

But on a low note, as long as I was on YouTube I decided to investigate the darker side of basketball, so I did a search for "basketball cheerleader mayhem bloody death" and came up with the following horrific scene of a cheerleader being brutalized right there in public.

I didn't have the stomach to watch past the halfway point, though.

Let me know if she lived.

No cheerleaders were harmed in either video.

Actually, I thought the second one was pretty clever entertainment.

I loved the reaction from the crowd. They were as aghast as anyone would be. And that the two teams got together beforehand to work it out was pretty cool of them. As you said, a pretty clever skit, aghastness factor notwithstanding.

yes. Not hard to know in advance that nothing bad is going to happen, given that none of the cheerleaders or umpires does anything to interfere (and neither do players, trainers, security guards, etc. etc.).

But pretty good entertainment value.

After just finishing reading about 50 political articles, this was just what the doctor ordered. Is that a pun? Anyway, thanks for the mental relief.

For what it's worth, I made a half-court shot just two nights ago.

If you had been there and said something about "form", I wouldn't have known what you meant.

My bad. :-)

The mascot one was great. I was laughing so hard and so long the wife yelled at me to shut up.

I've seen mascots do this type of thing before - and yep, it is great entertainment, really great - But, I sort of feel like I've just watched a magician's trick and wondered "how did they do that?"

I mean, is the cheerleader standing on the mascot's feet inside? or is she somehow or other hanging onto him over his shoulders? Man, to be the mascot who is already dealing with wearing the costume AND holding the cheerleader has got to be something of a challenge, no?

Oh, and that half-court basket is really cool - kudos to her for all the practice it must have taken to get it just right.
