Evel Knievel died two years ago today. He was one of my childhood heroes in the 1970s. Even his failed Snake River Canyon jump didn't dampen my enthusiasm, or that of my friends, for his daredevil motorcycle stunts.

It's also further revealing about her, I think, that Michaele Salahi's claim she was once a cheerleader for the NFL's Washington Redskins is now reportedly being disputed by the Redskins themselves, who say they have no record of her.
