Peyton Manning Details Hilarious Story About Bill Belichick And Pamela Anderson

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

On December 12's episode of the "Manningcast," host Peyton Manning explained how Bill Belichick drafted a player partly because he was in a relationship with Pamela Anderson. When Belichick was chosen to serve as head coach for the AFC at the 2007 Pro Bowl, he selected San Diego Chargers player David Binn to be the long snapper. At the time, Binn was dating the bombshell "Barb Wire" actor. "Bill thought the players would like seeing Pamela at the pool in Hawaii," Manning recounted. "She didn't come. But that's a cool Belichick story!"

Binn himself recalled earlier this year on the "Pro Football Doc" podcast how he learned during their first practice that there was an expectation behind the draft decision. "I'm walking by Bill, and he looks at me and he's like ... 'Hey, where's your girlfriend?'" Binn detailed. "I said, 'Oh, Pam? She didn't come out.' He goes, 'Remind me why the f*** I invited you out here then?'" The Chargers player said Belichick gave him a "deadpan look," and he couldn't tell if the comment was a joke or not.

While Manning and Binn look back at the story and laugh, some football fans online raised their eyebrows at Belicheck's decision making. "Am I the only one who finds this story less charming and more cringe? 'Why don't you bring your girlfriend so a hundred guys can openly leer at her in a bikini,'" one user wrote on Twitter.
