One of the underrated great things about sports are the stories that we get from things that happen behind the scenes.
One great story that has recently come to light involves Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and how he picked guys for the Pro Bowl.
The story comes from Peyton Manning and he told it during his and brother Eli’s MNF broadcast. According to Peyton, Belichick picked long snapper David Binn one year only because of who he was dating at the time.
So who was he dating? Baywatch Star Pamela Anderson.
Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967) is a Canadian-American actress and model. She is best known for her glamour modeling work in Playboy magazine and for her appearances on the television series Baywatch (1992–1997).
Anderson came to public prominence after being selected as the February 1990 Playmate of the Month for Playboy. She went on to make regular appearances on the magazine’s cover, holding the record for the most Playboy covers by any person. Anderson became known to a wider audience in 1991 when she appeared on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement, playing the role of Lisa for its first two seasons. She gained international recognition for her starring role as “C.J.” Parker on the action drama series Baywatch (1992–1997), further cementing her status as a sex symbol. She played Vallery Irons on the syndicated series V.I.P. (1998–2002) and starred as Skyler Dayton on the Fox sitcom Stacked (2005–2006).
Anderson’s film credits include Raw Justice (1994), Barb Wire (1996), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Superhero Movie, Blonde and Blonder (both 2008), The Institute, Baywatch (both 2017), and City Hunter (2018). She appeared in her own documentary series in 2008, which she also co-directed, and has since taken part in numerous reality television shows, such as Dancing with the Stars (2010, 2012), VIP Brother (2012), Dancing on Ice (2013), and Danse avec les stars (2018).
Anderson has publicly supported various charitable causes, particularly animal rights, and has endorsed PETA activities.[7] She has also released two autobiographies and four novels. Anderson was the recipient of a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2006.[8] She holds both American and Canadian citizenship.
The game was in Hawaii, and Belichick thought everyone would love to see Anderson out by the pool. When he found out she didn’t make the trip with Binn, he wasn’t shy in letting Binn know that was the only reason he was selected to the Pro Bowl.
Pretty cool Belichick story.
