I read this headline and thought there was some news on a new trade prospect that the Buccaneers are considering. Turns out, no.

Meanwhile, another trade target has emerged that may make more sense for the Bucs anyway.

The Eagles are reportedly looking to deal unhappy cornerback Lito Sheppard, and their reported asking price of a second- and possibly fifth-round pick for Sheppard is just a little more palatable than what the Chiefs are asking for [Jared] Allen.

Lito Sheppard has been on the trading block since the Eagles acquired Asante Samuel in early March. At the time, the Bucs were mentioned as a possible landing point for him, along with about six other teams. Then nothing. And today? Still nothing. The fact is in the NFL, everyone is available for trade for the right price. It's not a story. Every few weeks, the Tribune will throw something out there like it's news when it's nothing more than speculation. No sources, no quotes, nothing new, but a headline that makes everyone think there is. It pisses me off.

Which is why it's time for a humor break. I ran across this cheerleader picture a while back and thought about saving it for next year's April Fools Day, but I'd lose it or forget about it by then, so here it is now.

Doesn't it look like this chick had both of her legs amputated at the knees? It took me a good 15 seconds of staring to finally focus in and realize that the blurry, misshapen buildings behind her were actually the rest of her legs. She is a Houston Texans cheerleader and I think her name is Erica something. I had this whole story going in my head about how the Texans were starting a new squad of amputee-cheerleaders to appeal to their handicapped fans. But I'll think of something else. And if you're one of those dudes who is into amputee porn, just forget that you read these last two paragraphs and consider this my gift to you.
