Last year, the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders were a huge driving force behind everyone and their mothers making those “Call Me Maybe” videos that totally never got old at all. So how, then, would the wonderfully talented Dolphins ladies top that for an encore in 2013? By lip syncing to another ridiculously catchy pop song that gets stuck in my brain every other day – “22” by Taylor Swift.

Every time Swift’s Diet Coke commercial airs, this song sets up shop inside my head and I walk around mumbling the lyrics like a total doofus. But for some reason, I always sing the opening line as: “It feels like the perfect night, to dress up like Hitler…” I’m not sure what that says about me, but I’m sure that’s something I can discuss with my therapist later today.

In the meantime, let’s watch the Dolphins cheerleaders dance around the Dominican Republic, shall we? Oh, and I hope you’re dressed up for this, because it is a GIF party.

As much as I watch and overanalyze television, I had no clue that VH1 still produced original series, let alone scripted dramas and not hokey reality series about musicians you’ve never heard of (although Bands Reunited was one of the greatest TV shows of any kind in the history of the medium, but that’s another discussion for another UPROXX site). So imagine my surprise when I learned that VH1 has a show entitled, Hit the Floor, which is about a girl named Ahsha (which I pray is pronounced Asia) who joins a fictional NBA dance team, the Los Angeles Devil Girls, only to discover that it’s fast-paced lifestyle that she never imagined.

Basically, it’s like a PG version of Showgirls with former L.A. Laker Rick Fox filling in for Kyle McLachlan and none of the pool scene.

Want to watch Mike Tyson emerge from a pack of cheerleaders and do boxing-themed dance moves in a James Bond tuxedo with Doogie Howser? Of course you do.

I can’t say I’m an avid watcher of the Tony Awards. My cousin Brad won a Tony back in 2010 for being in the cast of ‘Memphis’ and I appreciate anything Trey Parker’s doing, but aside from that the show sorta slips through my radar. That said, the Tony Awards can enjoy a forced thrust into sports blog relevancy by including a reference to Mike Tyson’s one-man show (and Mike Tyson) during Neil Patrick Harris’s big opening number. Here’s what you need to know: Mike Tyson is not great with choreography, but he’s trying, bless his heart.

I’ve included the song below with a helpful jump edit to Tyson’s cameo, but feel free to rewind and watch the entire thing if that’s your bag. It’s got everything you’d want from a blockbuster show opening number … magic tricks, circus acts, child actor dane routines and catty bagging on the film version of Les Miserables. FUN FOR EVERYONE.

As you may know, the Houston Texans cheerleaders are my favorite. They’re a fun bunch of ladies who aren’t afraid to Fandango on the Internet between the Monday Fandango was cool and the Monday he was violently ruined.

Here they are hanging out with the 41st President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, and his amazing, amazing socks. Look at those things. I bet even Derrick Bateman doesn’t own socks that patriotic.

President George H.W. Bush recently spent some time with the Houston Texans Cheerleaders and a few photos and videos were snapped. The former President was on hand to present roses to the newest selected 2013-2014 Houston Texans Cheerleaders. The President presented each of the 35 girls with a red rose, and also had time to thank the ones who visited him while he was in the hospital recently. (via Next Impulse Sports)

All political preferences and discussion aside, this is sweet. Here’s the follow-up picture, featuring George making a perfectly reasonable face to be made around a Houston Texans cheerleader whether you’ve been the leader of the free world or not.

There is not a better way to spend a Wednesday morning than watching a bunch of cheerleaders f**k up and hurt themselves. Highlights include more than one girl getting trampled on the wrong side of a paper barricade, a cheerleader backflipping until she’s perpendicular to a wall and so many sad vaults. Thanks, World Wide Interweb.
