Marisa Miller Named New NFL Spokesperson
Supermodel Marisa Miller has been named the NFL's new spokesperson in an odd, but totally smart marketing move, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Guess Jenn Sterger wasn't available.
"I am so excited to have this incredible opportunity to partner with the NFL," Miller said in a statement. "I've grown up watching football my whole life."
Guys may actually want to watch the NFL now!
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model turned NFL "SuperFan" will start by promoting the London matchup between the 49ers and Broncos on Halloween.
"Going to the U.K. for this is going to be a blast," she says. "I'm looking forward to gaining new fans and show them how incredible American football is!"
Somehow we don't think that'll be a problem (see THG's gallery of Marisa Miller pictures), but it's an interesting, somewhat controversial hire for the NFL.
Using sex appeal to promote the league may seem hypocritical in light of the NFL's obsession with its image. Oh well. Click to enlarge the pics below!

An affront to WOMEN and MEN! Considering the furror over Brett Favre's alleged indiscretions (and I will be very disappointed if they turn out to be true, this really takes the cake. The so-called cheerleaders on the sidelines now are bad enough. While the Hopkins (MN) cheer squad of the early Vikings days were too tame for the average fan. but THIS? Give me a break. I would also like you to know that reinstating Michael Vick was also too much. Your first clue should have been that the Falcons didn't want him back! I didn't knoew him well, but sometimes your father dropped by Con Clark MacGregor's Washington office. Apparently he didn't pass his common sense and values along to his
