Brooklyn Decker's Successor for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue's 2011 Cover Whittled Down to Five Candidates

The most anticipated annual sports event is slowly approaching.

No, I’m not talking about the Super Bowl — I’m talking about Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue.

There’s an added twist, as SI will also release a 30-minute 3-D swimsuit video over PlayStation and other Sony formats to go along with the hard copy.

But who will be on the cover this year? According to coed.com, the five finalists have been revealed. They are: Cintia Dicker, Julie Henderson, Daniella Sarahyba, Hilary Rhoda and Irina Shayk.

Quote of the day

“I think everybody, even grown-ups now, today all wish they could be a superhero. I definitely had that imagination of, like, wow, it would be great to look over a city and take down the bad guys. Absolutely, I had those visions.”
–LeBron James, to The New York Post, on the visions he had leading up to the creation of his upcoming cartoon series

Comment of the day

Kris Jenkins and the Jets are jerks.

“Kris Jenkins—–who the hell is that? A GIANT SLOB masquerading
as an NFL football player. This boisterous BOZO hasn’t had a complete
season the past three years. He has the CLOUT of a smashed flea to be
running his damn big mouth.
Let’s be clear about one thing: THE JETS ARE THE MOST CLASSLESS
CLOUTLESS JERKS EVER TO BE ASSEMBLED AS AN NFL TEAM!
The Steelers are going to shut these a**holes up next weekend.
‘SANCHIZE’ is going to be eating turf all night. I wonder how far
off his passes will be this game—four or five yards?
GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE JETS——a CERTIFIED PAPER TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!”
