Is This Stall Taken???

A Carolina Panther cheerleader charged with giving police a false name during her arrest at a bar has denied accounts that she was having sex with another cheerleader in a restroom stall.
Oh my!  The things you miss on ESPN.
I love the fact that this story has even made it to the media, let alone grown to such “urban legend level” so quickly.  
Forget CIA leaks and pirates attacking cruise ships (as if I needed another reason for not going on a cruise ship).  
This is real news, isn't it? Something you can sink your teeth into, as it were.  The voice of Chris Berman echoes in my ears “She could go all the way” has a whole new meaning now.
How is it possible this even made national headlines?  When did we sink to the level of the “Sun” in the UK, the “National Enquirer” at the Safeway or “The New York Post”, well in New York?
Are there not better stories?  Do we have nothing better to do than cover two NFL Cheerleaders making out in a bathroom stall in a local watering hole in Tampa Bay?  Where the heck are the real issues, the real meat of the stories that inspire and inform us?  
I shudder to think that this even was given more then a casual glance on the local level.  So all that being said, I love the closing comment of the article on the AP wires.
The cheerleaders were not in town to perform at the game.

Ya Think?

Well now, there is a face that says,"We Care".
