CBS NFL analyst Charlie Casserly reported on today's pregame show that the NFL sent a memo to all 32 teams last week informing them that home teams are not permitted to tell their cheerleaders to warm up, stretch, or otherwise do anything in front of the visiting team's bench that might distract the players before the game.

Apparently there were concerns around the league that some teams had specifically told their cheerleading units to warm up prior to the game right in front of the visiting team, in hopes that the visiting team's players would be too distracted checking out the cheerleaders to pay attention to their coaches' pregame instructions.

No word on whether it's legal to videotape the opposing team's cheerleaders.

depends on what they are warming up? Where exactly is their home field?


NFL are dreaming. Yeah right.... players concentrate on cheerleaders

We've been using our cheerleaders to distract opponents for years and guess what... it doesn't matter where the Cowboy cheerleaders are - the opposing team will find them.

We have four sets of 20 in every corner of the stadium!
