This is probably treading on Dan Steinberg's territory, so let's hope he takes my initial findings and pushes the story even further. In fact, I'm shocked he hasn't done so already. Anyway, for those of you not in the know, Washington's best football team isn't the Redskins or even the nearby Maryland Terrapins, no, it's the IWFL's DC Divas a.k.a. your reigning, undefeated 2006 women's football champions.

Divas Cheerleaders: Joyce, Ashli, Tracey, Amber, Angelina, Elaine, Bianca, Jessica and Anise

Since the ladies are off to another hot start this season with 70-0 (!) and 20-14 victories over the New England Intensity and New York Sharks, respectively, let's familiarize ourselves with the roster:

· Desiree Adams lists her occupation as Renaissance woman, and M'Bwende Anderson lists her's as visionary.

· Why does Jordyn White play football? "I want to moisturize my situation and preserve my sexy.” She also says, "If a Diva gets herself in some crap, PLEASE believe there’ll be 60 girls there pulling her out."

· Devoralyn Savage weighs in at an NFL lineman-esque 296 pounds, and Tessa "Ray-Ray" Nelson bears a striking resemblance to Chris Samuels.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. By all means, peruse the full Divas roster and watch the video trailer for Gender Bowl; a "sports reality special" hosted by Blind Date's Roger Lodge that starring at least one Diva. Finally, if you aren't gripped by Diva Feva by now, I dare you to listen to the Official Divas 2004 Rap Song and tell me you wouldn't love it if [insert your NFL team here] followed their lead. These girls rule.
