Our good friends at Gambling911 may have their own perfectly timed controversy on their hands in the wake of the whole Carolina Panthers cheerleader lesbo bathroom romp thing as their hot-ass free pick “expert” Lisa Perry, who appears in this month’s Playboy as its “Employee of the Month” feature, has a very interesting interview regarding her former stint as an Indinanapolis Colts cheerleader. In the brief interview, Perry suggests that in some way she left being a cheerleader because she couldn’t/didn’t adhere to the whole “no fraternizing with players” rule—and one high-profile, Chesney-loving quarterback may be the guy. Here is the full transcript of this month’s interview:

PLAYBOY: How long have you been cheering for the Colts?

LISA: I was with the Colts for five years and I was a captain, but I’m no longer a Colts cheerleader. I still root for them to win, but right now, I’m actually a reporter for Gambling911.com.

PLAYBOY: Any reason for the change?

LISA: Most NFL teams have rules about fraternizing with the players.

PLAYBOY: Details, please.

LISA: It’s a good story. We were in Tokyo for a preseason game. Afterward I went to my room to take a shower. Other girls came in, and they were sitting around eating when there was a knock on the door. I figured it was another cheerleader, so I said, “Come in.” The door opened and it was a couple of players. I was like, “Shut my door. What are you guys doing?” I’m in a towel. It looks bad—though I do look good in a towel. Sure enough, I got caught. A high-profile player, who shall remain nameless, was hiding in my shower.

PLAYBOY: Sounds innocent enough.

LISA: It was 100 percent—this time. But my director had it in for me all year. The anti-fraternization rule is the worst. It just happens I’m friends with the players and I’ll stay friends with them.

Gambling911.com’s CEO Chris Costigan confirmed that the story was true and that it was a high-profile player. He joked that it “could be Edgerin James.” We doubt it. The implication in the story that is that it’s Peyton Manning. Now, we know there have been rumors about Peyton’s sexuality being tossed around by our Pete Rose-hating brother site at Deadspin, but this should in some way relieve Peyton of his supposed homo tendencies, no? Peyton Manning hiding in the shower of a hot cheerleader in Tokyo does change our minds about things. A little bit. We just hope his wife is as understanding as we are.

NFL Prop: Kerry Collins Is the Next Jim Harbaugh

So, the anticipation of the Oakland Raiders pass-crazy offense has officially put wayward quarterback and former drunken bigot Kerry Collins as the second favorite behind the Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback Peyton Manning to win the passing title this year. Manning is the favorite at 4/1, but the addition of Randy Moss to an already stocked receiving corps has put Collins at 6/1 to win the award according to MyBookie. It’s a nice idea and we’re as excited about the potential for a 40,000 yard season in Oakland, but are we forgetting that this is still Kerry Collins?

Fantasy Football: Yahoo’s Mike Harmon Smoking Boat

READ MORE: Fantasy Sports, Football, Holmes", Mike Harmon, Peyton Manning, Priest

Yahoo’s fantasy football Masta P, Mike Harmon gets all nuh-nah-nuh-nah with a batch of letters from anxious pre-draft fantasy owners with jittery questions about their picks—Priest? Ladainian? Aaron Stecker?—and Harmon shows that he’s still feeling the residual effects of massive drug use by recommending to one reader that the Kansas City Chiefs’ Priest Holmes is a better top 5 pick than Indianapolis Colts automatic 40-touchdown quarterback Peyton Manning. Honestly, we can’t stress this enough: IF YOU HAVE THE NUMBER 2 PICK IN THE DRAFT AND CAN’T GET LADAINIAN TOMLINSON PICK PEYTON MANNING.
