Grandma wants to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader...

[lspencer534]

Babies, don't let your grandmamas grow up to be Cowboys cheerleaders.

Sharon Simmons, a 55-year old grandmother of two, spent the weekend auditioning for the 2012 Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Her tryout was the culmination of a 33-year goal to try out for the famed squad.

The Carrollton, Texas, resident wanted to audition for the team when she was 22, but a number of factors -- including a lack of money, outfit, routine and child care -- forced her to give up that dream. Years later, as a grandmother, successful fitness author and burgeoning actor, Simmons tried again. She hired a former Cowboys cheerleader to help her prepare for the audition and said she was ready to compete with women half her age.

The tryout wasn't a rousing success, though. Simmons, who has been competing in fitness competitions for the past few years, told the Dallas Morning News that she forgot her routine during the freestyle portion of the tryout.

"For me, it has been about the journey," she told the Dallas Morning News.

Simmons would be 56 at the start of the 2012 NFL regular season. If she makes the team, she'd be the oldest Dallas Cowboys cheerleader in history, 14 years older than the previous record-holder.

[Bucwheat]

In better shape than most folks half her age:smash:

[joecaver]

she is in great shape no question about it, but not a very pretty woman.

[Sea Six]

To each his own, I guess. I'd definitely pass on that one. :ack:

The tryout wasn't a rousing success, though... she forgot her routine during the freestyle portion of the tryout.



It's hell getting old. :sadangel:

:rolleyes:

Can't wait to see you at her age. :funny:

I'll be fat, wear a Hawaiian shirt and drive a corvette. I can assure you I won't have intentionally turned my skin to leather. I'll also know how to wear appropriate clothes for my age. Hooker heels and bikini's are NOT for somebody like her with leathery skin.

now dont sell your self short stangkiller, i think you would be stunning in heels and a bikini, and by stunning i mean like staring at the sun for 4 hours with out blinking. :leaving:

[vtelvr]

Aspire for higher. :funny:



I agree with you on her skin not being the "best". Fortunately being Casper the Friendly Honky, I don't have to worry about that. :funnier:

:rofl::rofl::lol:

You guys are unbelievable. For her age, she looks great. Compared to the rest of the adult population, she looks great. Does she look as good as the normal Dallas Cowboy cheerleader...no, but let's see them in 30 years.

You guys act like YOU would be the one turning HER down. Give me a f'n break.

Don't you know that everyone on here is in perfect shape and has a supermodel wife/girlfriend? Those that don't are literally turning hot women away because they're in such high demand. :rofl:

I don't think she's as attractive as the one on the Bengals, but not bad at all. More power to her if she makes it.

:iagree: With the exception of her unwise sun tanning choices, I find no fault with the slim.

[Stangkiller]

You do realize that appears to be some kind of competition right? :skep:

:confused5: And?
