There’s nothing wrong with starting your weekend a little bit early, so naturally we decided to provide you with a massive gallery of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader pics that if your boss catches you perusing through, will undoubtedly get you fired.

Weekend starts early.

The NFL’s first known Jewish twin cheerleading tandem, the Lewis sisters, have made their training camp debut.

Because the Lakers had a pathetic showing in this seasons playoffs, we have to find something to get excited about (and it sure as hell ‘aint going to be the Dodgers).

Naturally, we compiled a gallery of the final four cheerleading teams left standing — the women of the Dallas Mavs, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat.

Enjoy.

There’s nothing wrong with a bunch of hot, scantily clad women floating around on ice skates to spice up any NHL game. I’m still waiting for the LA Dodgers to follow suit and hire cheerleaders.

Though, knowing the McCourts (Dodger Owners), they’d hire a bunch of fat Latinas and call ‘em the Dodger Dogs. Even so, I’m sure Manny wouldn’t complain.

Crimped hair, legwarmers, glitter and way to much makeup might remind you of 7th grade dances chaperoned by PE teachers in the middle school gymnasium, but wipe your memory card because today these things mean Russian Cheerleaders.

Complete gallery below.

Mascots are to sporting events what the Hays Code was to the film industry, in that they both aim to keep the entertainment pg.

But with the advent of nearly naked cheerleaders garnishing he sidelines of most major sporting events (still waiting patiently for the Dodger Dogs), mascots tend to feel under-appreciated, and frequently they attempt to go a little too big in an attempt to validate themselves… These are all facts by the way.

Here are 5 great moments in mascots.

5. Seriously guys, off the grass…

4. That’s what you get for wearing ‘blades

3. Talk about not getting laid anytime soon, jesus…

2. This is a mascot win if I’ve ever seen one

1. Take me out to the baaaaaaaaahhhhhh

Because it’s going to be two weeks before we’ll see (competitive) football, and more importantly, the scantily clad sideline slags, Banned brings you 30 NFL cheerleaders from the 2010 season (32 to be exact).

Any chance the Los Angeles Dodgers can get a few cheerleaders to distract me from facing the reality that they’ll never make another World Series?

They could get some fat local Latina women and call ‘um the Dodger Dogs.

Brilliant.

This is what we came up with.

Teri Hatcher: San Francisco 49ers

Though known for her role as one of the wrinkled MILFs on Desperate Housewives, Teri Hatcher began her career as a 9′ers girl. We felt obligated to include her, partially because she was a Bond girl, but mostly because she was in MacGyver.

She’s attractive… old, but attractive… plus she was in MacGyver.

Melissa Hodges: Tennessee Titans

Quoted as saying: “Eventually we’ll take the cells and we will extract RNA from them and then form cDNA, and with that we’ll use a method called quantitative real time PCR, and study the gene expressions.”

The 23-year-old New Orleans native recently graduated with a Bachelors in Neuroscience from Vanderbilt, and is working toward a career in medicine. She has been a cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans for three years… and counting. sort of sounds like the typical ‘stripper’ story, right?

Stacy Keibler: Baltimore Ravens

Cheerleader, wrestler, dancer, actress and member of the honor roll–no matter what the task, if having a great ass is a prerequisite, Stacy Keibler excels at it. Along the way she has broken her ribs, broken her nose, and broken many a heart.

Important note: At 5’11″ she’ll kick your ass if you try to get to hers…

Romi Bean: Denver Broncos

Romi Bean is in her fourth season as a Bronco’s cheerleader. She’s a seasoned veteran and was kind enough to share her pregame routine with us… though she made no mention of the post-game cheerleader shower photoblog we were expecting…

“Just like the players, we have a very intense game day schedule that keeps us on our toes and demands our full energy all day long. Before we set foot on the field at 2:05, we have a field rehearsal four hours prior to game time. As a cheerleader, timeliness is essential – and we all tend to follow the old saying “if you are early, you are on time, and if you are on time, you are late!” This means we all arrive at the stadium about five hours before the game so we can stretch, unpack our bags, and practice on our own before field rehearsal.”

Cassie Trammell: Dallas Cowboys

Cassie’s Trivia:

1. Her mother is Judy Trammell, the choreographer for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

2. She is currently a student and lives with her two brothers.

3. hopes to graduate with a degree in Elementary Education because she loves children

Our thoughts: If she enjoys making children as much or more than she loves being around them, she deserves the top spot on our list… so long as she doesn’t mind making children and then aborting them.
