The NFL's 10 best cheerleading squads 2013
When the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers faced off at Super Bowl XLV, an estimated 11 million U.S. television viewers tuned into the 2011 game. Despite those numbers, something was missing cheerleaders.
Of the 32 teams in the NFL, six don't have squads, and Super Bowl XLV happened to feature two of them. The 2012 Super Bowl champion New York Giants also doesn't have a cheerleading squad, but the team they beat, the New England Patriots, does, providing a morale boost from the sideline.
CNBC.com listed the best cheerleading squads in 2011 and 2012. The 2013 rankings have been provided by Michele Crawford-Carnegie, a seven-year veteran of the Atlanta Falcons cheerleaders and the current owner of the Alumni Cheerleaders social networking site.
Read ahead to see the NFL's 10 best cheerleading squads for 2013, as chosen by Crawford-Carnegie.
1. Oakland Raiders
In a test of its fans' loyalty and patience, the Raiders football team moved from Oakland to Los Angeles and back to Oakland within a span of 13 years. But while the stadiums may have changed, the fans' love of the Raiderette cheerleaders never wavered, and they have remained "Football's Fabulous Females" through all the ups and downs.
"The Oakland Raiderettes' are the hottest NFL squad this season," Crawford-Carnegie said. "Their performances are exciting and thrilling to watch. Their hard work is obvious at every game, and that kind of commitment is very special." She also pointed out another vital attribute that makes the Raiderettes exceptional. "Their iconic uniform is a part of what makes them so appealing and sexy."

I hope this is true. Palmer is done.
So you think Pryor better right now?
Sure.

Isn't Saunders still there? Why not just give it to him?
Mike fukking Martz??? 
Martz is as bad and might be worst than Knapp. Maybe I got my hopes up too high about Norv Turner being our OC. I don't mind if the Raider cut Palmer, cutting Palmer, Seymour, and a bunch of the other bad contracts like DHB or by trades might be the best thing for us to do. The Raiders would save a shyt load of money, something the Raiders never did with Al. Pryor still has mechanical and other issues as QB, but 
we are gonna be in a rebuild or a while anyways, and from the other Raiders fans I know actually like Pryor. He is too damn athletic and has potential to be wasted. We can draft a QB later in the rounds, and just go from there. 
But, if Palmer is still on the team, than Its whatever

Yeah Pryor really has to work on his mechanics, he floats a lot of balls out there
