 Bikini Science--V-Kini and Halfback
Cheeking leads to the halfback, in which the rising, 45 degree legline surrenders all pretense of buttocks modesty, leaving at least half of the butt always visible (VB8401, VB8421, CI8909, EL9008, SE9114C).
In momentum terms, the halfback lies midway between the classical panty and the tanga.
Not only is the backside getting narrower, but narrowed halfbacks tend to unavoidably slide into the cleft of the buttocks (CB91C2), providing anticipation.

 Ab Initio Games - Gameplan Playbook
The halfback tends to run most of the outside running plays, where speed is at a premium, and is the back who has a better chance of breaking for a very long gain.
This play gives the halfback a good chance of finding a hole and getting decent yardage if the defence is expecting the run, but isn't likely to get much extra yardage if the defence is playing pass as the linebackers get time to readjust.
The halfback cannot afford to overrun his blockers, so must wait for the offensive linemen to seal off the defence to the inside before turning upfield.

PJ Marsh, who returned to the Eels this season after a stint with the New Zealand Warriors, was assumed as the natural choice to play halfback this season.

All Blacks rugby halfback Byron Kelleher has dispensed with the niceties and revealed he is happier in the team now that Justin Marshall has gone.
The pair established one of the most fiercely-contested All Blacks halfback rivalries before Marshall, with 81 Tests to his name, departed for Leeds in July.
He said not knowing who was going to claim the top halfback's spot on this tour had lifted everyone's games - notably his own which he saw progressing to a new level.

 Steelers Notebook: Haynes hoping to take Bus route to become halfback
Verron Haynes knows an opportunity when he sees one, which is why he spent Fridays during his rookie season at the knee of the master, Jerome Bettis.
Haynes rushed for 1,378 yards fewer than Bettis did as a rookie, but it does not mean he did not learn important lessons from The Bus.
The Steelers have stuck with three players at halfback -- Bettis, Amos Zereoue and Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala -- but Haynes could become more involved in the mix, particularly if any of the three has the kind of injury problems that have plagued them recently.

While most halfbacks struggle to play any other position, Phillips' size saw him shifted to centre during Llanelli's injury crisis last year, and he even become loose forward cover on the bench.
This season he shifted to Cardiff after deputising for Wales' top halfback Dwayne Peel, and impressed in Wales' tests against Canada and United States.
With Peel losing the race to recover from an achilles tendon injury, Phillips was named ahead of Gareth Cooper, who toured New Zealand with the Lions this year.

Great Britain must look for a new halfback following the loss of Danny McGuire and the near-certain absence of Sean Long while Chris Thorman and Luke Robinson both pressed their claims with impressive second-half performances last night to help England beat France 22-12 at Headingley.
The Kiwis are desperately keen for Jones to remain involved in the series but his position is further complicated by his wife's pregnancy.
Without another specialist halfback in the 24-strong squad, the New Zealand selectors are likely to turn to veteran Robbie Paul, whose move from Bradford to Huddersfield will be confirmed tomorrow and he could go straight into the team to face the Lions at Loftus Road.

Dogfighting is illegal in all 50 states and a felony in 44, but that didn't stop Oakland Raiders halfback Tyrone Wheatley from singing the praises of this cruel bloodsport in the January 15 issue of Sports Illustrated.
Wheatley says he formerly raised pitbulls-dogs often sold for fighting-a breed he promotes as "instinctive" and "motivational." "In the world of pitbull fighting," Wheatley told reporter Michael Silver, "one pitbull doesn't give a s--- if the other pit bull is a two-time winner.
If Tyrone Wheatley once bred and raised pitbull dogs for fighting, his activities should be reported to law enforcement officials and he should be prosecuted accordingly.

Starter Duce Staley is the best receiver of the bunch; Brian Westbrook is the fastest; Buckhalter, perhaps the most punishing ball carrier of the three, ran with the first-team offense during early mini-camp sessions.
Staley was absent due to contractual issues, but his agent insists the veteran halfback will report to training camp in a timely manner.
It's difficult to predict who'll fill the featured role should Pittman's legal woes keep him from hitting the field this fall, but the most likely candidate appears to be Thomas Jones, whom the Bucs acquired in exchange for second-year receiver Marquise Walker shortly after Pittman's arrest.

All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith added some intrigue to the pre-test game of cat and mouse by heaping praise on Wales saying they are the hardest team in the world to analyse.
Smith revealed the All Blacks would thus be forced to use one of the oldest plays in the book - target Wales' rookie halfback in a bid to bust open the game at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday.
The giant halfback weighing over 100kgs has replaced Dwayne Peel in the Welsh No. 9 shirt and Smith said - in a parody of the 'Get Dan Carter' remarks emanating from the Welsh camp - the All Blacks would be testing his mettle early in the test.

With a shoulder still on the mend from recent surgery and no contract offers forthcoming on the restricted free-agent market, backup halfback Najeh Davenport signed his one-year tender with the Green Bay Packers on Friday.
When healthy, Davenport generally has been an effective backup for Ahman Green and was hoping to draw interest from teams looking for a starting halfback.
But no clubs brought him in for a visit or offered him a contract, and with the April 15 deadline closing fast for restricted free agents to sign an offer sheet with another team, Davenport in effect conceded he had no prospects by signing the Packers’ $455,000, one-year tender.
