New England Patriots cheerleader Julie Warner (far right) and other members of the squad lead a class in Beijing.
"Spirit of New England: Pats cheerleaders in China" by Mark Shanahan and Paysha Rhone , Globe Staff | July 3, 2008
Patriots cheerleaders and their pompoms are in China this week as part of an initiative with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Organizing Committee. Eight members of Tracy Sormanti's stunning squad are hosting clinics for young Chinese dance teams that'll perform at various events during the Olympics. In all, about 100 Chinese cheerleaders will attend the clinics. The Pats gals are also participating in a number of community- and fan-related activities while in China.
And look whose blog the MSM noticed:
"Gisele goes green on her new blog
Gisele Bündchen, globe-trotting, supermodeling canoodler of Tom Brady, can add "blogger" to her resume. The Brazilian bombshell has launched a "green" blog, where she opines on everything from sustainable catwalks (after strutting for Brazilian designer Colcci a few weeks ago at Sao Paulo Fashion Week, she gushed over the recycled cardboard walls and biodiesel-powered generators) to her pet project, water conservation. Her fancy flip-flop line Ipanema also supports "the intelligent use of water." Other bloggers on her site weigh in on a variety of environmental causes and post videos. Gisele is apparently all about the chatter, blowing virtual kisses to her readers and thanking "our young columnists who prove that young people. . . have enough energy to change things." The site, in both English and Portuguese, can be found at giselebundchenblog.blogspot.com.
How come they don't link my blog?
Let's stick with the theme, shall we?
"Brady's winning filly?
Not everything Tom Brady touches turns to gold. The 4-year-old filly partially owned by the Pats QB wasn't winning at Belmont Park, so she was shipped to the less competitive Finger Lakes Track. "It's kind of like being sent down to Triple A," said Billy Koch, GM of Little Red Feather, the horseracing partnership whose stable includes Brady's trotter Guts Game. "She needed a little confidence boost." And she got it, winning one of her first races at the new track. In addition to Brady, Little Red Feather counts NBA star LeBron James, rapper Jay-Z, and MLB catcher Paul Lo Duca among its investors."
And what is with the PINK OBSESSION, Globe?
"In the pink for a good cause
The sisters were doin' it for themselves at The Ridge Club golf course in Sandwich, where men were invite-only at the Queens and Kings Charity Day, which aims to be an annual event; the Jimmy Fund Golf Tournament benefited breast cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. LPGA tour professional Jane Blalock worked the course Tuesday, showing the dudes how it's done in a skirt. "The men had to wear pink, and they had to putt with pink balls," said spokeswoman Katie Stinchon. Meanwhile, on the North Shore Monday, a group of Red Sox greats played homage to the 1975 team at the second annual Extra Innings/Jimmy Fund Golf Classic. Swinging at the Ferncroft Country Club were Rico Petrocelli, Bob Montgomery, Mike Andrews (also Jimmy Fund chairman), and Jerry Moses, joined by major leaguer Jason Bere. NECN sports anchor Chris Collins did the emcee honors at the reception and auction. The tourneys raised 50 grand apiece."
Do they have pink testicles, too, Globe?
Jees!
