20/20 Special Tonight 10pm EST "Skins Cheerleader & the Strange Medical Condition"

[YoCoLifSavr]

Im posting this from my cell phone at work but just saw an ad for an upcoming special on 20/20 on channel ABC about the Redskins Cheerleader and her strange medical condition.It was a youtube phenomenon about a year or so ago. It airs at 10pm EST. I checked to see if this has been posted. Kinda hard with my ancient blackberry. I guess we will find out if she is really sick...or its a scam. Tune in to find out :-D

Story is up top....

I think its just a teaser for next week...the video is only 2 minutes long


edit: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/desiree-jennings-fake-muscle-disorder/story?id=11228285

is the story...

Don't get why the video cuts off after 2 minutes instead of showing the entire piece.

[pennyizer]

ummm, I watched it. No idea if she's faking, but she's still hot...;)

[Da'uud]

uhh classic butterface if you ask me....and yea she is totally a psycho and faking it....

[skinsfan07]

She is hottttttt. She's the only one who knows if she's is faking or not, so we'll never know. Maybe she wants attention?

[KevinthePRF]

If this condition lasts for four hours or more call your doctor....

[Mark The Homer]

For the record, Ms. Jennings was not a Cheerleader, she was a "Cheerleader Ambassador" - and a rookie at that.

And judging from the last paragraph, the disease was already starting to take hold.

However, she's no longer on the list...

...although she was on it last fall, and her photo is still there (upper left corner).

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Off topic...but what is an ambassador vs. a cheerleader?

On topic...I would doubt this poor girl was faking anything.

[Stew]

I saw a video of this a while back. Her walking was impaired but when she ran, she was fine... something to that effect. They showed her walking regularly and it looked like she was having trouble balancing, and her motion was a little herky/jerky. Didnt she acquire this from an H1N1 vaccine? I cant open the links at my job so I cant watch any video or anything like that. The way she was getting around looked very embarressing, and Im sure she wouldn't be faking it for fun. what would her motive be?

Either way though, Id hit it like Brice Harper playing Whack a mole.

Seems to me like it would be a complete waste of time to fake something like this. Sure you could get a big payday in a law suit, but I think that they would easily be able to dismiss some of the symptoms easily. Interesting though, should be worth a watch to see what's up.

[Stugein]

I know that if it's legit and she isn't faking this makes me a horrible person, but really this just makes me smile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPgMo_l_cis). (some language warning)

[onedrop]

Read an article this morning where a few Dr s think its all in her head but not "faked"

You don't fake it to win a lawsuit, you'd never be able to convince doctors it was real if it came down to it.
You fake it because the people who are dead set against the flu shot pay you to cast mud at the program.

[soljaofjesus]

I thought I read/saw somewhere that she is doing better? Like she can walk normal and stuff now.

:beavisnbutthead: :D

[skinfan2k]

[darklight1216]

That was... different.

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

I just read she also got an English accent because of the shot? Come on now...:doh1:

I've heard her speech teacher was English while she was recovering....

For the record, Ms. Jennings was not a Cheerleader, she was a "Cheerleader Ambassador" - and a rookie at that.

1. For the record, it's Mrs., she's married. You do understand how that works right, Mr. Redskins Family guy?

2. http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Desiree_59767.jsp 1st paragraph: "I moved to Ashburn, VA eight years ago and have been a die hard Redskins fan and Washingtonian ever since."

She's a Redskin! Period! All of the d-bags making jokes at her expense are only living up to their d-bag status in life.

3. Hate to burst your bubble there Mark, but Rookie or Vet she has more of a place in this Franchise than yourself. Where's your Pic and Bio on Redskins.com? You're a Mod, and a crappy one obviously. Get over yourself.

4. Until there is clear and obvious evidence that she's, "faking it". Any thread involving her should only contain best wishes and things of that nature. That is, if you're on, "The Official Message Board of the Wahington Redskins"

What should not be in a thread is an Original Post questioning the validity of a Redskins' claim of a life-altering Illness. Followed by d-bag remarks.

[Mark The Homer]

Interesting.

1. "Ms." is a perfectly acceptable title for a woman, whether she be married or single.

2. She's not a cheerleader. Period.

3. She's no longer associated with the team, other than being a fan.

4. I personally agree with your point here, but others may have a different opinion. This is a board of debate.

When a noob is so abrasive, it makes one wonder if he's not a dupe account.

Hang on a sec...

:doh:

1. Each member may own no more than one registered account.

The ExtremeSkins Staff screens and approves all new accounts. Duplicate accounts are prohibited, and the Staff employs sophisticated security measures to enforce this policy. Duplicate accounts may immediately be closed (i.e., banned). Do not create additional registered accounts to bypass an issued ban absent compelling circumstances. Any attempt to circumvent any moderating action by registering a secondary account may result in a permanent banishment of all related accounts.

I hope you enjoyed your four days.

[NewAgeSkins]

So wait a sec. Mark the homer, on a "board of debate", you ban him for having a differing opinion?

Where's your proof that this was a duplicate account?

[Mark The Homer]

I don't need to prove it. All I need to do is find irrefutable evidence.

I advise you to take a look at rule 18, especially the second paragraph.

I suggest you try improving on either or both of the following: reading comprehension; anger management.

Mark did not challenge the young lady's medical condition or her Redskins fandom, let alone wish ill upon her. He simply pointed out her status (former and present) with the team.

Mark is one of the guys who puts in countless time to make this site better and is a terrific all around great guy which is more than I can say for you at the moment.

Your screen name is ironic as I didn't care that you just got banned.

To get on topic, best wishes for Desire to have a miraculous full recovery!

[FedExFielder]

How could you fake that?

[ACW]

I'd LOVE to know who that was a dupe of.
Something tells me he'd've gotten banned anyway :ols:

[MarkB452]

I thought I read/saw somewhere that she is doing better? Like she can walk normal and stuff now.
She was at the tailgate club for the Dallas game last year and signed the Ambassador team pic for me. I talked with her some and her voice sounded fine and the sig looked OK as well. So I am assuming her muscular coordination was OK that day. I told her that I was suprised and glad to see her and she said her doctor let her go to that game since she had been doing better.


Ambassadors do NOT perform on the field, but have similar PR duties comparable to the other cheerleaders. There are usually 5-7 of them with the alumni players at the tailgate club. During the games, I think they are up on the club level.

[skinsfan07]

I know that if it's legit and she isn't faking this makes me a horrible person, but really this just makes me smile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPgMo_l_cis). (some language warning)

That is TERRIBLE but I lol'd big time.

[FedExFielder]

uhh classic butterface if you ask me....and yea she is totally a psycho and faking it....


Butterface, eh? You tappin girls hotter than that, then?

[skinsfan07]

Well she's better now guys. Check it out. Somehow she was magically curred although Dystonia was an "incurable disease"

[HawaiianTime]

Show you what the doctors know.

I do know this, because of a total trust in doctors, I almost lost my son of 5 1/2 months. But because of some really good doctors and nurses, he is alive today. Lesson they imparted to my wife and I, are that we know our children better than they do and are the voices of our children. We need to speak up, ask questions, and research as the doctors and nurses are human as well and make mistakes as well.

P.S. my son recently turned 7 and has to take 5 heart meds twice a day.
