April Summers Wallpaper

So the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition came out yesterday and they featured three athletes from around the world.  Along with American volleyball player Kim Glass, there's Leryn Franco, a javelin thrower from Paraguay and Bruna Schmitz, a surfer from Brazil.  Now, after spending way too much time staring at these photos and videos, I can say with complete authority that our little ball-spiker from America takes the crown.  Don't get me wrong, they're all smokin', but Kim gets the nod by a nose (or a leg, or a boob, or an ass).  USA!  USA! USA!

Here she is America, this year's SI Swimsuit Issue cover model and I have a serious problem with it.  First of all, she's Russian.  Now I personally have nothing against Russia, but do you mean to tell me we couldn't find some nice American ass to grace the cover of this American publication?  I know foreign models have made the cover before, and I say SI was wrong then, too.  The SI Swimsuit Edition is an American institution that has been the masturbation gateway for millions of teenagers for generations.  Save the foreign models for SI Russia or SI Brazil.  In the good ol' USA the least you could do is give our youth a nice, wholesome, home-grown model to fantasize about on these lonely February days.

Secondly, she's the girlfriend of soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. Soccer?  Is this some kind of conspiracy to teach our kids that the only way to land a supermodel is to play soccer?  Say it ain't so.  You couldn't find a supermode that's hookin' up with a baseball, basketball or football player?  I know, I know, there's Giselle and Brady, but she's not American!  Do some digging, SI, or else our favorite American sports will begin to suffer.

Third, get a load of those lips!  Now I like the puffy, pouty look just as much as the next guy, but all I can picture is what those things are gonna look like in about twenty years and it ain't pretty.  Buzz kill.

From Matt Vensel's Blog:
In this week's January 10th issue of Sports Illustrated, NFL senior writer Peter King predicts every game in this year's playoffs. Lucky for you, the magazine has given me a sneak peek at his bracket, which I will gladly reveal to you. You might not like what King foresees, though, so brace yourselves. King predicts that the Patriots will beat the Packers, 30-24, in Super Bowl XLV after the Patriots beat the Steelers in the AFC championship game and the Packers knock off the Bears on the NFC side of the bracket...


Welcome aboard the bandwagon, Mr. King!  One thing is clear this time, though.  The Pats will have a tough time playing the "no respect" card on their way to the JonesDome.  Doesn't matter.  Fourth ring for Brady and Belichick.  Bang.  Pay the fuck attention!


P.S.  King's wrong about the Packers - I got the Falcons winning the NFC.
