The Internets: Just who were those bikini-clad fans?
Posted on January 22nd, 2008 – 11:42 AMBy Michael Rand
In the name of intrepid journalism, Paul W. is helping us get to the bottom of an age-old question: who were those crazy young ladies wearing bikini tops in the froze tundra on Sunday night? You no doubt saw them (Fox cameras certainly did) if you watched the Packers/Giants game. Maybe you wondered, “Who are these ladies?” Well, wonder no longer. It turns out their names (left to right) are Liz, Jen and Ashley (of course they are). They are 20, 21 and 22 years of age and all related (two sisters and a cousin). One of them notes that they’ve been doing this bikini thing since 2002, at which time looking at them would have sent you directly to the Mark Chmura Hall of Shame. But now they’re all in college. So you don’t have to feel so bad. Our only regret is that they didn’t live in the time of the Hanson Brothers. A meeting between those two trios would have been awesome. “I’m in the middle. She’s 22 and she’s 20.” (Hanson Brothers faint).
*We just received an e-mail indicating that we have “exclusive access to Wolves/Celtics tickets. No joke required.
*Dave MN wants you to remember Madballs.
*Target announced today a new line of clothing, the “Shaun White for Target” collection. Starting in July, you will be able to dress like the snowboarder affectionately known as the Flying Tomato. Any good suggestions for clothing or accessories that should be included in this line?

Shaun White’s nickname just makes me lament the lack of good sports nicknames these days. How many first initial-abbreviated last name combinations do we need before someone realizes that it sounds really, really stupid?
I’ve always liked yellow bikinis but I didn’t like their sign…personally, (a lame intro adverb since I’m the one speaking) but I don’t think Rodgers really can wait or are the Packers waiting for him to retire before he can play. It’s a moot point though since I think Favre, despite this young team, will actually retire this offseason…maybe not..maybe
Maybe you wondered, “Who are these ladies?”
Actually, I wondered whether fake tanned skin would still turn purple in sub-zero temperatures?
Maybe you wondered, “Who are these ladies?”
I was wondering if it was a negligee situation.
I wonder how long they really were out there flashing their charmers..
Clearly they come bundled up and only strip down for the cameras. That’s kind of cheating, I think.
I am super glad to read that the publicity isn’t going to their heads and they’re going back to school. I could see how such sudden fame could de-rail them from their career goals.

Am I the only one who had these things and used them for home run derbies in the backyard?
Bill O’Reilly was a child of the 80s, apparently.
Who knew?
I as well had Madballs.
The “Flying Tomato” is much better than any of the following:
T-Hud
T-Jac
D-Wade
Agent Zero
Big Ticket
Big Country
The Kid
The Answer
B-Diddy
Diesel

And as far as the Bikini Girls go…Yes…I would.

+4, RandBall. Well played.
RE: Shaun White, “I’m talkin about Mountain Dews, baby!”
I’m always amazed how women (some women, AZ) can be completely oblivious of a game in progress but can look in at just the right moment to something like those yellow bikinis and then jump all over “you men !” like we did something wrong. Well, that was what happened when we had a number of women here for a book club (not mine !) and one of them was playing Princess Viking and getting all over me as the game went on. That is, until I asked her to name two Vikings and her charade ended might quickly when she couldn’t name one. But, it’s amazing how much heat these book readers had for these oh so sweet innocent children in their bikinis. So, for the 5 - 10 seconds they were on camera, I was forced to tell these women who could never again fit in those bikinis to be quiet so I could see more clearly…
I’m sure the three girls are nice and all but could they have taken a worse picture of that middle girl? She looks like Britney Spears post C-Scar.
And why no love for Aaron Rodgers? He’s from Cali and probably tan, it’s pretty obvious these girls like that look.
Stu, why are you giving the thumbs up in that picture? I would have gone with the “Hi mom” wave instead.
P3:
For all earlier comments you made, that I in my mind had previously made fun of…I appologize. That was absolutely amazing. I had a similar situation when I asked a certain person who claimed they were the biggest Twin’s fan ever, when the last time they won the World Series was…she said “They haven’t yet.”
“Just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber, you go and do something like this…AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!”

‘Nothing like exposing the soft underbelly of sports…Here here!
I’ll take that, Joker, and the weird thing is her husband is even worse. He’s like this weeinie in my old neighborhood who made people have him on their team mainly since his dad made the best backyard rink I ever saw ! But with no boards surrounding it, all we could do was blast him into the snowbanks which was almost as much fun
Hey, I was close on my comment about TMQ the other day. The only difference was that Easterbrook didn’t lament the lack of cheerleaders in Green Bay, but he did say that the New England cheerleaders were unprofessional for dressing in a way that did not allow him to ogle/fantasize about them easily.

Easterbrook’s caption to the photo I linked above:
“When your coach controls the weather and the officials, the cheer-babes are under a lot less pressure to show professionalism.”
