DALLAS — Marisa Miller is a fairly attractive young lady. You probably know that. And/or can see that above.

But she’s also a HUGE football fan (she’s from NoCal, so she got the not-to-horrible experience of rooting for the 49ers while growing up). I was lucky enough to catch up with her at the Super Bowl and chat about football, how to make your ladyfriend love sports, and the program she and the old Captain Morgan are working on in order to help raise money for the Gridiron Greats program.

(And, while you’re here, why not upload your Captain’s pose to Facebook. Seriously, do it. It’s for a good cause.)

Will Brinson: Alright, so it’s early and the morning and let’s get right to the booze — you’re doing some work with Captain Morgan, right?

Marisa Miller: It was really important for Captain Morgan to partner and do an initiative that benefited the community, so we came up with the ‘First Mate Fund.’ And it’s great because the month of February all the proceeds are going to the Gridiron Greats which helps all the hardships after they play football.

Captain Morgan has a huge fanbase and loves to have fun, so if you go on Captain Morgan’s Facebook page and upload your ‘Captain Morgan pose’ — for every pose we get, we donate $1. We’re trying to get a million poses, we’ve got 75,000 right now. And it’s just a really great cause and a lot of fun as well.

WB: Have you got any celebrity poses?

MM: By the end of the day, I’m definitely going to get one …

WB: You’re obviously a big sports fan, so let me ask you this, because my fiance kind of hates football …

MM: How does she hate it?!?

WB: Well, it actually works out pretty well, because –

MM: It’s your alone time?

WB: Right! I mean, well, ummmmm it’s work. And I have to be really have to be focused and stuff. But do you have any advice for any guys who have girlfriends or significant others who aren’t into football but want them to be, or even maybe girls who aren’t into football but would like to be? [Ed Note: I am in no way saying I want my fiance to get into football. Let's be very clear on that, honey.]

MM: For me, it was always a big part of the family social gatherings, so even if you don’t like it, there’s an aspect of it that, maybe the wives can get together and they can learn together.

And if you really sit down and watch and learn and get into the stories of the players — I like watching a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff because you follow the guys and what their story is.

Healthy competition is a really good thing, too — I’m very vocal when I’m cheering for a team and it just makes for a fun environment. And I cook a big meal and my family and I all sit around and argue and yell at the TV and it’s fun.

WB: And you’re a Niners fan, so I’d assume you’re a big Joe Montana fan?

MM: Yeah, I started watching the Niners when I was 10 years old and my dad would take me to Candlestick and that was our bonding time. And when your team is killing it, it’s a great time to love football!

And the guys I grew up watching — Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young and Roger Craig — they’re still legends today. So that was my first impression of it and it was bigger than ever, and the excitement of it was just so impressive.

The key is you always have to have faith in your team no matter what.

WB: Well on that note, what do you think about the Niners hiring Jim Harbaugh?

MM: I think it’s awesome — we have a lot of talent on the team and it’s just about putting it together …

WB: And getting a quarterback!

MM: [Laughing] Well, I thought Aaron Rodgers was going to go to to the Niners, so …

WB: Oh man, yeah, so how tough is that to watch him playing so well and thinking what could have been?

MM: I know, right? What could have been … but that’s what’s great about the Super Bowl this year is seeing a guy from Northern California that I followed and seeing him in the Super Bowl. It’s just awesome — Green Bay’s played so well and to be the wild-card team and they played such tough games to get here.

Even though Pittsburgh’s a really tough team and has so much experience on their side and they’ve won more Super Bowls than anyone in the league. But you never know … you see the Patriots have an undefeated season and the Giants take it.

So it’s going to be a good game on Sunday.

WB: Alright, well, I’ll get you out on this — can you give me a prediction for Sunday?

MM: I think Green Bay’s going to kill them.

WB: Kill them?

MM: Oh yeah.

WB: Like, more than 2.5 points …

MM: I think it’s going to be 24-10 Green Bay.

WB: Alright, well I had 24-21 Green Bay …

MM: Well, you’re in the right direction!

It’s a bit perplexing to me how Spike was able to get out all these girls who are universally accepted to be the hot chicks of the moment to their award show…for video games. It’s not even like it was for movies or the Spike TV Scientific Advancements in Neurology (FOR DUDES) Awards. But for video games? I love video games, but I don’t think of sexy bitches when I think of video games. I think of me in my shorts at home getting racial epithets yelled at me by a fat teenager with a southern accent on Xbox Live. You’d be surprised to learn that Megan Fox doesn’t often enter into that equation.

I would however let any and all of these women play with my joystick. And by joystick, I mean my controller because modern video games don’t really use just a joystick any more. Gaming conventions have changed quite a bit from the days of Pac Man in which a joystick was the only thing controlling your yellow, overindulging pill-popper of a hero. Oh, and also, by joystick, I meant penis. It’s the sexiest game of all, only instead of a high score, you get premature ejaculation and a series of apologies.

From L to R, Marissa Miller, Kim Kardashian, Stacy Keibler, Odette Yustman.

Yes, that’s Gisele giving you, the general public, the finger. She hates you. She hates your clothes, your hair, everything you stand for. You disgust Gisele Bundchen. If she saw you, she’d probably spit in your face. No, not probably…definitely. You’re no Tom Brady. Tom Brady could have no legs and she’d still prefer him to you. Because she’s Gisele Bundchen. So what if her vagina is like sunshine, rainbows, and kitty cats frolicking in a lush green meadow? You’ll never know. Because she has nothing but utter, unflinching disdain for you.

On the plus side, every time a supermodel gives you the finger, it gets easier and easier to brush it off. After I got the finger from Marissa Miller from “groping her ‘inappropriately’” (since when is a grope inappropriate?), I just let it roll off my back. Unlike the stomps from her bodyguards. Those did less of a “roll”. More of a dull tingle followed by complete numbness followed by temporary spinal shock. Same difference.
