I was looking at the Sports Illustrated website today when I ran across this picture:
Queen of the gridiron? I had to check this out.
Turns out her name is Brigid Mullen. She’s the current Miss Wisconsin USA first runner up and plays football for the WPFL – Womens Professional Football League. (I’m sure Bob Sturm would be happy.) I knew Dallas had a team in this league, but wasn’t aware they won the championship – I would have thought I would have heard this on the local news somewhere, but I guess Cowboys, Mavs, Stars, Rangers, and high school sports trump this sort of thing.
Back to Brigid. She’s keeping a journal about her experience as a student, model, and football player for Sports Illustrated.
You can read her first entry here. Just be aware that there are a few fully clothed seductive pictures of her – wouldn’t want your coworkers to think you are perving out at work. Here is her latest entry and that links to her other entries as well.
I’ve never even heard of the WPFL.
