I see your points, Tooboku, but I have rebuttals (as always). Look at Murphy as an example: she was a nobody before getting the cover and, as far as I'm concerned, is still a nobody. Personally, I don't have the faintest clue what else she's done. So it seems to me, getting the cover isn't the star-making moment it once was, and the last two SISE covers seem to have been the death knell proving that. I mean, if you put Beyonce on the cover, clearly this is no longer about new faces and making stars. And the idea that popularity among those fashion-inclined doesn't translate to mainstream success is exactly my point. Bar hasn't acheived U.S. mainstream success and neither has ABB. As for Marisa... let me put it this way: this is the Sports Illustrated Simsuit edition we're talking about, and when "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" did a public-vote-based competition to find the hottest woman out there, Marisa beat out Gisele, Adriana, Eva Longoria, etc. to be #1. She's an American model that sports fans love. If that's not overwhelming proof the cover should go to Marisa, I don't know what is.

From a business standpoint, I don't see why Bar would get the cover. Because she's dating Leo? Well, that's not really getting U.S. media attention for SI to factor it in, by my guess. And as swimsuit appearances go, she's a novice, although I liked her photos last year. I think the situation is sort of the same for ABB: SI is a U.S. company and ABB's general popularity in the U.S. is miniscule, despite VS and 5 or 6 appearances in the SI swimsuit edition, so her on the cover probably wouldn't boost sales in the same way Bar being on the cover wouldn't either.

Marisa Miller But I'm too lazy to crop a pic of someone's boobs and post it.

^ It was for college credit! :persuazn:

^ Yes! I took an acting class a few years ago ( ) and one of the Ravens' cheerleaders was in it. She was hot but had the IQ of window sill.

^ That's awesome! And I read something online that said Ale, Adri, and Miranda will make appearances, which is cool.

American Football. :blueeyedbaby:

Would your team number be 69 then? And I don't think the NFL supports team prostitutes.

The Ravens have shamed their city! I remember the ESPN commentators said McNair had the lowest yards per pass (with at least 13 receptions) in the history of the NFL for that game. I'm now at the point that I actually like Boller more.

^ But to give multiple covers is only to cheapen the value in being the model on the cover.

^ Her talking isn't the point though. Getting the SI Swimsuit cover is a prestigious point in a model's career. It's the fact of getting the cover that's important.

Man, this is going to be one unsexy VSFS.

^ Marisa has never been on the cover of the actual SI Swimsuit edition, which is the only one that matters. And it's a crime!

^ :trout:

That all said, though, I was kind of disappointed by the game.

You don't know what you're talking about, Heather! If you think Brady can't throw the long ball, I guess the 55-yard pass to Moss on the second to last TD drive was an accident. And I guess the 33-yarder to Stallworth on the last TD drive was, too. He's the #1 QB in the NFL right now for a reason! Plus, he threw for more yards than Manning despite not playing his best. I think you're just jealous Brady gets to sleep with Gisele, and you don't. And yes, I like the Pats 'cause I like Brady. (Not to mention, Marylanders have a long-standing "hatred" for the Colts since they were taken from Baltimore in the 80s.)

Ok. I've added 2 more options I don't know who your two additions even are. EDIT: I take that back because I know who Selita is.

^ Ditto.

You watch NFL, Heather?!!!!!!! And how was Brady a dick? Plus, when you have a franchise record in penalty yards, you turn over the ball like 4 times, and you're down 10 points to a team that hasn't given up a second-half lead all season, yet you still win, it's NOT luck.

That would be great if you'd rip the parts with MM for us, Cypress! Maybe I'll get a new avie using the red dress footage!
