Brooklyn Decker's Cover Story
Posted Feb 15, 2010
Brooklyn Decker, the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition covergirl, was in Las Vegas Wednesday to promote the annual edition's launch. The only problem: She had to miss the North Carolina-Duke men's college-basketball rivalry game, a near sin for someone who loves sports like she does. Raised in North Carolina, she's a diehard Tar Heels fan and a dejected Carolina Panthers follower.
