Buccaneers Cheerleader Gets Into SI Swimsuit Edition

You know it's the offseason when the first post of the day is a cheerleader post. But I also know who my audience is, so here you go.

Buccaneer cheerleader Milly Figuereo, whom you may remember from NFL Network's spanktacular "Making the Squad" in 2006 (available here if you're feeling lonely,) was selected to be in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Milly talks about her teammates' reactions when she got the news that she was selected to be in the magazine:

"Everybody on the team was so happy for me," said Figuereo. "Our squad - we're sisters. We go through everything together. After this news came down, I was getting text messages from everybody, somebody was even crying - that just makes you feel really, really good about what you're going up there to do. They selected one person, but anybody could have been selected from our squad. That one person is representing everyone. We're so proud of one another."

My god, I thought she'd never shut up. Crying and texting and emotions and sisterhood. Words words words blah blah blah. Get to the tits, please.

There's a couple dozen more pics of Milly in her SI gallery. And for the purpose of comparison, here is a photo from her Buccaneers photo shoot which took place last summer. Can you tell the difference from the picture above?

If you said it looks like Sports Illustrated is lightening up her natural skin color in their photos to make her look whiter, you are wrong. The answer was that she is holding pom-poms in one picture, and in the other she is not. Thanks for playing.
