According to big Ben of the Steelers, he does not like to play at Fedex primarily because of the Skins cheerleading squad's habit of stretching in front of the enemy team's entry portal. According to Ben, it can be quite distracting.
I'm sure it is merely coincidence, but I can see considering the talent level of our current squad, it could be distracting!

hahaa that is awesome. If we actually do this on purpose I think it's great. It's just like the z-shades, everyone in the Skins organization contributes to the game.

I have sat in the dream seats, so I have been very close to the cheerleaders. Yes I can see how it can be EXTREMELY distracting!

Someone from the Giants said this last year, it was either Osi or Strahan. :D

but the article says the league has now discouraged the ploy,so it looks like our secret weapon is gone,plus it was probably a distraction to our players too,it especially worked well on Cooley,lol

maybe the skins will take this as a slap in the face?something like the only thing that
the steelers are worried about is missing the cheerleaders stretch.
