Prohibited From Dating Players, Carolina Panthers Cheerleaders Go After Each Other In Bathroom Stall. Story Overshadows "T.O." Online

This is a sign of the changing times. Maybe I should put it up on my "Zeitgeist" website. Why? Well, when was the last time you heard a news story about two cheerleaders being arrested for getting it on in a bar? In the past, it was always some guy and girl -- being thrown out, but not arrested. I understand Penthouse Magazine has already made an offer. Something else of note -- this, and not the "T.O." story -- is the one of the most popular subjects in the blogsphere, even though the Owens story is all over the sports pages and ESPN. It's the first time I can remember a total disconnection between what TV news shows and what is searched for online.

Tampa, Florida -- Two Carolina Panther cheerleaders spent the night in jail after a rough night in Channelside. The Panthers were in town to play the Bucs Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses say Angela Keathley and Renee Thomas were engaged in some type of sexual activity inside a bathroom stall at Banana Joe's around 2:20 am Sunday. Another woman waiting to use the bathroom got into an argument with the pair.
Police say Thomas punched the woman in the face. When Thomas was arrested, she gave police the name of another Panthers cheerleader.

Thomas could face additional charges for lying to police, once they confirm her identity.
Keathley was charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing or opposing an officer, while Thomas was charged with one count of battery.
The two women were taken to Hillsborough County jail, where they both bonded out later Sunday morning.
